Ruby Rose explains emotions over Batwoman casting
Appearing on The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon, Ruby Rose, who was announced as the new Batwoman slated to appear in the Arrowverse crossover on the CW this December, got emotional as she explained what this casting meant to her. In her first interview since the announcement of her upcoming role, Rose explained how this role is a game-changer for her and her career. tt
Though her role will be limited to the Arrowverse crossover, there are talks of making a Batwoman series starring Rose. Should that series be picked up by the CW that would in deed be a game changer for her career.
Ruby quoted Oscar Wilde in saying her motto has always been " Be yourself, because everyone else is already taken" and she feels that that has guided her in her career and led her to this role. Rose who is openly gay, will be playing the first openly gay superhero character on television. Batwoman originally came out in 1956 in DC Comics then remained largely out of the picture till 2006 when the character was revamped. The new Batwoman was brought back as an open lesbian, a role practicaly tailor made for Rose.
In her interview she speaks about growing up and not seeing anyone she could identify with on television, much less a superhero. She went on to share her excitment on the possibility to incorporate her character into her charitable works. She currently visits sick children in hospitals and looks forward to doing the same only now dressed in full Batwoman get up.
The jury is still out on whether or not this was a good casting choice, we won't really know till they actually film. On the surface it seems a perfect marriage as she meets the asthetic of the character. We only need to see now if she can act the part. Personally, I'm pulling for her.
