Unlike Rose, Day will not portray the actual Batwoman, because Ryan Wilder played by Javicia Leslie took over the cape from Kate Kane. She’s still excited to play this character and re-join the DC family after starring in SyFy’s Superman-themed series Krypton.

“It’s a huge responsibility stepping into the shoes of a character that’s already been established and it’s a journey I’m looking forward to being a part of and hoping you guys do too,” wrote Wallis Day on Instagram.

In addition to Krypton, Day’s filmography also includes the British soap opera Hollyoaks and drama series The Royals. She’s currently attached to the sci-fi thriller Infinite, also starring Mark Wahlberg, Dylan O’Brien, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, set to come out this fall.

Earlier this year, Rose confirmed that she would not be returning to the show for season two. Months later, she has finally revealed the reason that she decided to leave the show. As it turns out, her exit was a result of pushing herself too hard after her surgery.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Rose said: “Being the lead of a superhero show is tough. Being the lead in anything is tough. But I think, in that particular instance, it was a lot more difficult because I was still recovering from my surgery.

“I had my surgery and then 10 days later I went to work, which maybe wasn’t the best idea. Most people take about a month or three off before they return to work, so it was definitely made more difficult by that. But as far as being a lead of a show or a film — regardless if it’s action or if it’s emotional — in whichever ways it’s taxing.”

Rose also shared that starring on the show was a huge accomplishment and that she is “grateful” for everything they achieved.

Nonetheless, Rose made the decision to leave the show in order to take time to fully heal and recover from the intensity of filming during recovery. Although she says she will “return to TV soon,” for now, she is rightly looking after her mental and physical health.

The new lead is named Ryan Wilder and is younger than Kate Kane—she’s in her mid to late 20s. It’s still unclear if Ryan is a new character or a code name for an existing DC character, and Season 2 will show her journey to becoming Batwoman.

The official casting note said, “[Ryan is] likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed” and “nothing like Kate Kane, the woman who wore the batsuit before her.” Ryan is a former drug-runner, but now sober living in her van with her plant and she’s a skilled, but undisciplined fighter. Like Kane, she’s an out lesbian, and performers who identify as LGBTQ have been invited to read for the role.

The series premiered last fall and was the first superhero series in television history to feature an LGBTQ character as the main role. Last month Rose revealed that she was exiting the show.

The series will go on, but they’ll be looking to cast a new lead. Rose was the first gay lead character, male or female, of a live-action superhero series. The show is committed to casting another LGBTQ actress in the role.

The reason for the actresses’ exit is unclear, “I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season,” said Rose in a statement. “This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew, and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles.”

Back in September, Rose had emergency surgery for two herniated discs after sustaining injuries from a stunt she did while filming Season 1. A source told Variety that her decision to leave “had nothing to do with her health or injury.”

Batwoman was renewed by the CW for a second season in January.

Elizabeth Anweis will officially star opposite Ruby Rose in The CW’s history-making drama pilot. 

According to multiple sources, Anweis will play Catherine Hamilton-Kane, Kate Kane’s (aka Batwoman’s) step-mother. Catherine made her fortune as a savvy, bullheaded defense contractor, and all those billions position her as one of Gotham’s most powerful residents. For Catherine, it’s a matter of the bottom line: Batwoman is bad for business.

Anweis joins the previously announced Dougray Scott who is set to star as Kate’s father Jacob Kane, Meagan Tandy, Camrus Johnson, Nicole Kang, and Rachel Skarsten.

Written by Caroline Dries and directed by Marcos Siega Batwoman marks the first gay lead character of a live-action superhero series. Kate Kane (Rose), armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, 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.

Anweis’ other TV credits include 911, Twin Peaks: The Return, The Affair, Southland, NCIS: Los Angeles.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the CW is moving forward with a Batwoman stand-alone series.

The new of a pilot order was announced Thursday. Emmy-winning Game of Thrones director is on board to direct the pilot. Also tapped for the production are showrunner and writer Caroline Dries (The Vampire Diaries) and exec producer Greg Berlanti.

The pilot order has also made history as Rose’s Batwoman marks the first gay lead character of a live-action superhero series played by an openly gay Rose.

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.”

The striking new suit, designed by Oscar winner Colleen Atwood, perfectly mirrors classic look from the original DC Comics. It shows Rose ready for a fight in a winged cape, with red bat symbol across her chest, topped with her signature red wig.

Rose will join the Arrowverse by appearing in Elseworlds – a crossover between Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl. This epic episode will pave the way for stand-alone Batwoman series, which should air by the end of next year.

This project will go down in history as the first live-action superhero TV show with lead LGBT character. After her casting made the headlines, Ruby Rose said she’s thrilled and honored to play such a trailblazing character.

“This is a childhood dream. This is something I would have died to have seen on TV when I was a young member of the LGBT community who never felt represented on TV and felt alone and different. Thank you everyone,” wrote Rose on Instagram at the time.

The CW announced last month that it would be adding a new superhero to its rank which already includes Supergirl, Arrow, and The Flash.

The network plans to produce a series about Batwoman from the brains of Greg Berlanti and Caroline Dries who will produce and pen the script, respectively.

The standalone series has the following logline:

“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.”

Step forth from the shadows, Ruby Rose.

The Orange is the New Black actress will take on the role of Batwoman who will first be introduced to audiences in The CW’s annual crossover event in December.

Viewers will then have to wait for the 2019-2020 season if the standalone series goes to order because she is the hero(ine) we deserve, but not the one we need right now.
