Batwoman Season 2: Ruby Rose Departuring From Gotham Forever

It’s quite surprising that Ruby Rose quitting the already renewed The CW’s show “Batwoman.” It means Rose will never return to Gotham again. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the main character of Batwoman will recast. Although the casting schedule and date is not mentioned yet. Still, Warner Bros production has plenty of time to cast another Kate for Batwoman Season 2. As of now, Batwoman Season 2 is set to premiere next January.

In Batwoman, Rose played Bruce Wayne’s cousin Kate Kane. It was the first time when an LGBTQ superhero hit the action-drama TV show. Rose was the one who broke the ice and changed the perspective.

Is Her Departure Related To The Surgery?

Last year, while shooting Batwoman Season 1, Rose met with an accident. She posted on her Instagram account, “I broke my neck, basically, on the show.” It was horrible to mention how brutal the accident turned out. Further, she added that everyone thought she broke one or two ribs. But later, her doctor explained it was her neck that left her in a paralyzed position. Since the injured area was closed to her spinal cord, that’s why she wasn’t able to move her arms.

The severe injury took 6-12 weeks to heal. Furthermore, MRI reports revealed that her two herniated discs broken, which can leave her whole body paralyzed if not taken care of. Besides this, she managed to return to shoot further scenes. So, it can be one of the reasons for her departure.

She got trolled immensely, and that resulted in the deactivation of her Twitter account. It seems she wasn’t happy with the reviews and didn’t want to get criticized again. Also, it overall affected the rating of Batwoman. Perhaps, Warner Bros and The CW asked her to leave and allowed to act like it’s her decision.
