Breaking news out of The Hollywood Reporter this morning, Batwoman has been found! Actress Ruby Rose from Orange is the New Black and John Wick 2 has officially taken the title of Kate Kane and Batwoman! This news is in line with what many were speculating after the show-runners put emphasis on the part being played by an out lesbian. Additionally, super fans might have noticed the casting director following the actress recently after a trip to Vancouver BC. For us, the part seems to be in good hands and we are excited to learn more about Ruby and her portrayal of the female Caped-Crusader. For now, the part is described as:
Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate Kane soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope. Based on the characters from DC.
