Then again, maybe the recasting won’t be so hard, after all?
She Was Not the Problem
There is many issues that I have with the @CWBatwoman show, but #RubyRose was not one of them. Wish her the best, and for the @BatwomanWriters not to squander the character of Batwoman for the next person to get the role.

For whatever reasons fans may not likeย Batwoman, it seems there’s general acknowledgement that Ruby Rose wasn’t the issue.ย
Need Them Deets
anyways the powers that be at the cw/batwoman must have really not liked ruby rose to actually let the star/title character of the show get out of their, no doubt, multi-year contract. i want the details. pic.twitter.com/bUsjE5NtPu

This is only the beginning.ย Batwomanย fans are already digging for the details on why Rose is leaving the show – and the rumor mill is clearly already churning.ย
Do We Even Want to Know?
Do I even want to know the real reason Ruby Rose left Batwoman?

While a lot of fans are calling for the explanation of what led to this, this fan is perhaps asking the wiser question…ย
Why So Serious?
