Yesssssss honey, we LIVE for moments like this!

Love to Hate

@RubyRose congratulations on Batwoman

batwoman sweetie i’m so sorry

— lauren (@Igbtshaw) August 7, 2018

Well that escalated quickly. Clearly Rose wasn't the version of Batwoman that every fan wanted ...

Wow. Batwoman casting has really split opinion. I couldn't care less either way, so is nice to see it play out without being invested in either side.

Some men just want to watch the flame-wars burn ...

Insta-Crush

I am going to stan Batwoman like I have never stanned anything before.

— Unamused Bouche??? (@AbsolutBex) August 7, 2018

A lot of fans now have official reason to crush on Kate Kane / Batwoman harder than they ever have before.

Ruby Rose has a lot of fans in the anime community (she's pretty much a living anime character, after all) and they are definitely feeling this casting!

It's Not The Oscars

People are actually complaining that Ruby Rose is not a good enough actor to play Batwoman... on The CW?

— Mark Cassidy (@RorMachine) August 7, 2018

To all the people complaining that this is a bad choice because of Ruby's level of acting: how long have you actually been watching the Arrowverse shows???

LGBTQ Represent!

(also no lindsey wouldn’t be a better batwoman. batwoman is a lesbian and should be portrayed by one)

So here the thing, I love Ruby Rose. She's great. I think the casting as Batwoman is pretty much perfection. But yall have got to stop this "TVs first openly LGBT superhero" shit. That ain't the truth and you know it even as you're writing these headlines pic.twitter.com/5oTUFLzS4Q

— Ashley Scott Wilson (@WrecklessLove) August 7, 2018

For members of the LGBTQ community this casting of one of their biggest superhero icons, with one of their biggest celebrities, is definitely a warm feeling of inclusion. Let's just be careful when throwing around terms ...

Forget the Haters

@RubyRose well done for becoming batwoman. Please ignore the ignorant people who are already slating the casting choice. @CW_Arrow @CW_TheFlash @TheCWSupergirl #rubyrose

As we continue to navigate the often toxic waters of geek culture, Ruby Rose will need her fanbase to help balance out the haters already coming her way.

Better Than Arrow

I'll be here for #batwoman of the series has good writers like #blacklightning has. If it's going to be like Arrow or LOT then..it's already doomed.

— Jenny (@JennyxRose) August 7, 2018

Some fans just want a good show — as in, not like Arrow or The Flash.

What the People REALLY Want

Can you imagine Batwoman and White Canary making out? Because I'm already dreaming about it. @RubyRose @caitylotz #DCUniverse pic.twitter.com/nxRGmIPb18

Oh yes. Yes please. Whether you're a man or a woman, there's a good chance you want to see this happen!
