Following
Ruby Rose's departure from the series where she played the lead character and cousin of
Bruce Wayne, a new report by
The Hollywood Reporter states that the character of
Kate Kane won't be replaced - and instead a new one will be donning the cape and cowl of "
Batwoman" for the second season of the brand new CW superhero series set in the
Arrowverse.
According to the report, word of the new casting choice came from a Batwoman Reddit Forum c/o
Decider - which states that the new character's name is supposedly "
Ryan Wilder", and that
"She’s likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed. She’s also nothing like Kate Kane, the woman who wore the batsuit before her," the notice reads, according to Decider. "With no one in her life to keep her on track, Ryan spent years as a drug-runner, dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits. A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat could also kill you with her bare hands, Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. An out lesbian. Athletic. Raw. Passionate. Fallible. And very much not your stereotypical All-American hero."
Guess we'll find out eventually what the changes will be as work and production on Batwoman Season 2 is currently ongoing.
