The first episode of Batwoman season two aired last week on The CW, and fans may have been confused at the identity of the new title character.
It goes without saying that Ruby Rose is clearly not in the new season, and Javicia Leslie has been drafted in as the new Batwoman instead.
Unfortunately, the reason for Ruby Rose’s departure from the show has never been explicitly stated, so we may never know what happened behind the scenes.
The good news for those wanting a continuation of LGBT representation is that the new Batwoman will still be a lesbian character. Leslie herself is bisexual.
To stream season two episode two of Batwoman, tune in tonight, Sunday January 24, at 8pm on The CW.
