Can’t wait for the people that lost their shit when Ruby was first cast to take this news with the same amount of restraint. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Still think they should have recast the character considering all the stories they built up during if (Like seriously you’d be as well getting rid of every one of Kate’s family including Alice now) but we’ll see how it goes
I can’t say I’ve heard of the actress they’ve cast but open minded (well as much as I can be considering that I think bringing in a new character is friggin stupid lol)

There were people who were upset that Ruby Rose "wasn't gay enough" even though she's a lesbian. So I don't know if casting a Black woman or casting a bisexual woman as a lesbian woman is going to make people angrier or not.
Still think S2 of this show is going to suck for a multitude of reasons. Javicia Leslie won't be one of them, though, unless she's a bad actress. I don't think I've ever seen her in anything.

I wish they would do something like....all these women episode to episode try to be Batwoman but ultimately failing.
And season 2 ending with Cassandra Cains introduction where she takes up the mantle as the new actual Batwoman.
But we do not live in the good timeline.

I don't know anything about the actress so best of luck to her in a no win situation. This entire scenario feels like the show is DOA no matter what.
Shoehorning in an entirely new character with no ties to any of the rest of the cast is just a dumb idea, particularly when there are several Bat characters they could have used.

Ok. That’s all well and nice.
But goddamn I wish that movie and TV studios would spend half as much time and money talking about doing stuff with established black characters that they do mulling over making other characters into different races.
Why even have the conversation of a black Superman when you can just make a badass Static Shock project

This is a completely original character, so it's not like there's a Ryan Wilder comic character that's white or anything.
Also Black Lightning is just that in being about an established Black superhero, and it's one of the more consistent shows in the Arrowverse.

I’m just talking about the discourse around the casting when it began and the constant talk of flipping Batman or Superman. I’m a black dude and I just want some John Stewart love god damn it!

Same, and I'm hoping Diggle shows up in this HBO Max Green Lantern show (assuming it's related to the Arrowverse) or the Superman&Lois show. I'd absolutely adore seeing David Ramsey play Diggle embracing his destiny as the Arrowverse's John Stewart!Green Lantern.

I mean David Ramsey is right there and they confirmed he's the Arrowverse version of John Stewart. But God forbid they even contemplate a Green Lantern project that isn't about Hal (and I say this as someone who really likes Hal Jordan)

It’s like how I feel about Barry Allen. Then again I started reading comics in the 90s so it’s Kyle and Wally or nothing for me.

I feel bad for her in advance, because I know this role is an albatross. They're replacing a fan-favorite comic character with a character made up by TV people, and still calling her Batwoman. She's going to be unfairly crapped on from the jump, and it's 100% on the showrunners.
You just f***ing did an event with 3 different looking Supermans. Why could this new actress not just be Kate Kane? Screw Ruby Rose.

But there were also other options for existing comic book characters without creating a fanfiction OC.
At least they aren't Burying Their Gays by killing Kate off. If the show survives past Season 2, I hope they use the time to find a proper new actress for Kate and reintroduce her as Batwoman while Ryan gets her own heroic identity.
