Spoilers Batwoman - Season 1

Oh, fuck, I love that idea. Loved her on Krypton.

(Though reading the actual article, she was just responding to a fan's comment, not actively throwing her hat in the ring.)
Based on some things i saw online, I'm going to put it out there that the producers may have an actress in mind who nobody is thinking about but who is an almost-perfect replacement based on the circumstances that led to Ruby's departure.
What's with the coy? Just tell us what you heard, guy.
 
I loved season 1, and Ruby's take on the character, but what I definitely don't want is an actress playing Ruby playing Kate.

Sure, but I'd still prefer someone who's reasonably similar to her in appearance and personal presence and manner, just because I found her so striking to watch. Less like replacing William Hartnell with Patrick Troughton and more like replacing Leonard Nimoy with Zachary Quinto or Ethan Peck.

I was trying to be cagey because I didn't want a certain poster here to get the impression that I was divulging confidential information, but because I was asked a direct question, I'll go ahead and provide an answer: I was browsing Twitter and came across a Tweet that indicated that CW and Arrowverse alumnus Peyton Elizabeth List was possibly being rather heavily eyed as Ruby's replacement by the Batwoman producers.

Would work for me. I liked her a lot on Gotham.
 
Which was an ad-lib that meant nothing and should have been excised.
It's a joke and not meant to be taken seriously.

Midnights Edge, a ridiculous youtube series, is claiming that Ruby was fired.

Have not watched the tube yet.
Who cares what they claim, it's all bullshit meant to make money from the YouTube algorithm. They just tell the psycho and bigoted fanboys everything they want to hear so they can claim that the voices in their head have a source.
 
I'm cross-posting some comments I've made elsewhere regarding the most recent rumors about the search for the new Batwoman:
The producers are apparently taking the following four criteria into account in regards to a replacement
* "Name" value (recognizability)
* Physical similarity to Ruby Rose
* CW alumni status (so as to avoid another unpleasantness situation)
* Sexual orientation (LGBTQ)

Peyton E. List satisfies at least 3 of those criteria and may satisfy all of them (info about her sexual orientation isn't publicly available).

Wallis Day, Jade Tailor, Bex Taylor-Klaus, and Daria Berenato (all of whom have expressed interest in the role via Twitter) do have experience with grueling TV filming schedules, are physically similar to Ruby, and are or may be LGBTQ, but Peyton E. List has a more extensive filmography than all four of them, making her a more recognizable "name". She's also a CW alumnus, which, as noted, is one of the criteria the producers are rumored to be targeting.

Regarding character ages versus actor ages (so as to help with casting determination), the character of Kate Kane in the Arrowverse was born in January 1990, making her 28 years old during the Elseworlds crossover and the first four episodes of Batwoman Season 1 and 29 for the remainder of Batwoman Season 1.

Ruby Rose was born in March 1986 and started her Batwoman journey when she was 32 and ended it at age 34.

of the actresses I just mentioned, Jade Tailor is 34 (born August 1985), Peyton E. List is 33 (born August 1986), Daria Berenato is 26 (born September 1993), Wallis Day is 25 (born September 1994), and Bex Taylor-Klaus is also 25 (born August 1994).

Of those five, Tailor and List would have the easiest time selling Kate's age relative to 35-year-Rachel Skarsten (born April 1985 and playing 29-year-old Beth Kane/Alice) and as a replacement for Ruby, although the 3 younger women could do so too.
 
Someone mentioned Olivia Thirlby and now I wanna hear her say "I AM THE LAW" while wearing the batcowl. :D
 
Could start the show with Kate looking in a mirror inside a locker showing Ruby in the reflection then have someone say "Kate!" and she closes the door and it's whoever and move on.

Personally, my favorite is the soap opera approach where they just flat out start the show with the narrator saying "The part of Kate Kane/Batwoman will now be played by Jane Doe". :lol:

Batwoman meets Quantum Leap.

Does that make Luke the new Al?

Or the Roseanne thing when the cast change becomes a ongoing gag.

So... You're saying Scott Bakula should take over the role? ;)

I consider that a perfectly reasonable idea.

In the 1958 pilot of 77 Sunset Strip, Edd Byrnes played the villain, but he was such a hit with preview audiences that they added him as a regular with the same mannerisms but a new name ("Kookie"). To "explain" it, they actually had star Efrem Zimbalist speak to the audience before the episode, explain what happened, and ask the viewers to just forget about what had happened to his character in the pilot. Which would never fly with today's canon-obsessed viewers. http://legendsrevealed.com/entertai...il-character-on-the-pilot-of-77-sunset-strip/

Apparently I didn't watch enough QL, I only remember that now that you mention it.

Wait, he's not?

I wonder if maybe it's today's viewers that need such a statement. I think in times past people were less affected by such things.

"In today's episode, the Klingons will be seen with ridges..."
