- Thread starter fonzerrillii
- Start date
You right all the stuff I could remember?
Were ensemble stuff.
This is truly unprecedented
and I am SURE contractually the CW COULD have been difficult
wait HOLD ON
Isnt the ONLY crossover next season gonna involve Batwoman and that new superman lois show?
how the F*ck they gonna make it make sense?
Ok I've got one...
The only time that I've seen a show have to make such a Massive change in a Lead Character that is the ENTIRE SHOW..
Is when Andy Whitfield died after Season 1 of Spartacus ..
But poor Andy didn't leave by choice.
Man I fucking loved this show so much....
I have no clue... Why Starz never tried to do a Julius Caesar show with the Spartacus team.

Clearly... I don't see this happening..
But I think the original plan was to do it like this cause Melissa (Supergirl) is going to be on Maternity leave and the schedules wouldn't work.
Batwoman was supposed to be one of the first Arrowverse shows to be come back next year..
I've got no clue how to this is going to work out.
I mean all the fucking marketing has to be changed..
ALL OF IT!!! You can't even use "Previously On Batwoman" shit. LOL
hold on DAMN you right
all the shows are pushed to late 2021 cause of corona
supernatural final season
(sidebar: could you NOT see a VERY REAL POSSIBILITY CW BEGS Supernatural to come back? Isn't Sam's Texas Ranger show on CBS? could he HANDLE 2 shows?)
no more arrow
Constantine going to HBO Max?
Is the Arrow spin off even in PRE-PRODUCTION?!?!?
and now I am SURE they aint gonna cancel Black Lightning, cause they kinda NEED that show.
Legend is the top show now but would any of the lasies THERE maybe be considered to be the NEW Batwoman?
Just off top, which female in the Arrowverse COULD conceivably just PICK up the cowl?
Supergirl's SISTER?
Errr Marisa Tomei quit "A Different World".
She became an unknown though.
She only won an Oscar and is Aunt May in the highly successful Spiderman films.

I've been trying to think if in my 41 years of existence if I've ever seen this before...
The closet thing that I can think of is this...
But Lisa Bonet didn't leave Different World... She was fired because she got pregnant and then ended right back on Cosby.
you know @slam @fonzerrillii
I have been RETHINKING this whole situation
I think we might be taking for granted just how DAMN HARD it is to actually LEAD a series of ANY genre ESPECIALLY sci fi cause of the stunts etc
Maybe Ruby just realized I can't do THIS for like 6 years
Yeah she could have THOUGHT she could but she did it and decided she couldn't
and just the PRESSURE
I can respect that
It also should make people APPRECIATE Stephen Amell even MORE
Should out to Grant too and Sara on Legends.

There are no more other Earths. All of the heroes reside in the same universe now.
I only watched the first episode and the crossover episodes. I had 0 intentions of watching this show. I caught the very beginning of the recent episode and cringed and flipped it after the first MINUTE. The dialogue was terrible. Why does she have to mention being a lesbian every chance she gets?
I'm just waiting for Flash, Black Lightning and I guess Supergirl to end. I'm over CW superhero shows. I'm not investing time into any more of them. These uber PC shows make me sick.
Bitch, I don't want to know your pronouns, just go kick some ass.
How physically demanding is it to do something like what Amell did for all the arrow seasons? He's obviously 1 of the most athletic actors out there

Ruby Rose Flying the Coop on Batwoman Season Two

Ruby Rose is getting the hell out of Gotham, and not returning for season two of the CW’s Batwoman. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the leading role will be recast, though a timeline for casting has not yet been announced. The show was picked up for a second season back in January. Rose starred as Bruce Wayne’s crime-fighting cousin, Kate Kane, and broke boundaries as the first out lesbian superhero to lead a live-action TV series. In a statement, Rose noted “this was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles.”
The actress has dealt publicly with her difficulties regarding Batwoman in the past. Rose faced immediate backlash after news of her casting broke, eventually deleting her Twitter due to the fan criticism. Most significantly, she also underwent emergency surgery last year during the filming of the show’s first season. Rose revealed on Instagram last September that she had been at risk of paralysis due to on-set injuries, having “herniated two discs doing stunts, and they were close to severing my spinal chord. I was in chronic pain and yet couldn’t feel my arms.” However, neither Rose nor the CW have addressed the specific reasons for Rose’s departure.

Marisa tomei was a supporting character fam...
She was never considered the main star of Different world. Plenty supporting characters have left after the first season..
Ive never seem the main star of a show... a show that was built around them quit a show after the first season when it was renewed.
Never
Wrong fam... there are still other Earths...
Did you miss the end of Crisis?
There’s aren’t a lot but there’s other earths. You still have Earth 2 for example. It was rebuilt.

I hope they Just cast the best actor for the job. What they do in their bedroom is irrelevant.
Well, I never liked her in the role (along with other aspects of the show it must be said). I don't think she can act and she's not attractive nor does she have a body that makes you pay attention.
I just caught this Stargirl pilot and even though it was sophomoric at least the girl is cute in a Karen sort of way.
These kinds of shows better learn their demographic if they want to survive. You simply must have eye-candy. Case closed.

They would have started filming for a return in the fall so in normal times they maybe would have had to act quickly. But with filming taking place in 2021 they seem to have plenty of time to find a replacement
Yea man, they need a serious reset smdh.
Wow
I'm surprised noone has said or thought about Sophie (Meagan Tandy) taking up the mantle. Remember, she has the same training, she is often conflicted about going too far and blurring the line of what is justice vs what is right.
This could be a great way to renew interest in the TV series as well as the printed comic series, by adding to canon.

Ruby Rose's Batwoman Exit: The Story Behind Her Shocking Departure
By Michael Ausiello / May 20 2020, 9:29 AM PDT
Ruby Rose wanted off Batwoman — and no one was going to stand in her way.
Although the actress’ sudden, surprising departure from The CW superhero drama after just one season was framed on Tuesday as her choice and her choice alone, sources confirm to TVLine that the split was — at best — a mutual one.
“It wasn’t 100-percent her decision,” concedes a source close to the show. “It was a breakup. She wasn’t happy working on the show, and did that make her fun to work with? No. So everyone decided it would be in the best interests of the show, and for all concerned, if they parted ways. It just wasn’t a good fit.”
According to an insider, Rose — coming off the features John Wick: Chapter 2 and The Meg — was distressed by the long hours demanded of a lead TV role and did not acclimate well to life in Vancouver (where the show shoots). Batwoman marked the actress’ first full-time series gig, following her debut as the Scarlet Knight in the Arrowverse’s December 2018 “Elseworlds” crossover and a short arc on Orange Is the New Black.
Reps for Warner Bros. and The CW declined to comment for this story. Rose’s spokesperson, meanwhile, could not be reached for comment.
In a joint statement released Tuesday, Berlanti Prods. and Warner Bros. Television confirmed that Rose’s iconic role would be recast — and with another LGBTQ actress. “[We] thank Ruby for her contributions to the success of our first season and wish her all the best,” the two companies said. “The studio and network are firmly committed to Batwoman’s second season and long-term future, and we — along with the show’s talented creative team — look forward to sharing its new direction, including the casting of a new lead actress and member of the LGBTQ community, in the coming months.”
Batwoman Season 2, like many returning CW series, is not slated to premiere until January 2021.
Rose landed the role of Kate Kane/Batwoman in August 2018, following a brief search for an out LGBTQ actress to portray the famously gay vigilante. But within a week, Rose had shut off Comments on her Instagram after a wave of backlash.
“Where on earth did ‘Ruby is not a lesbian therefore she can’t be batwoman’ come from — has to be the funniest most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read,” she posted. “I came out at 12? And have for the past 5 years had to deal with ‘she’s too gay’ how do y’all flip it like that?” She added that the time since her casting had been a “rollercoaster,” and that she would take a break from Twitter to focus on work. “If you need me,” she signed off, “I’ll be on my Bat Phone.”
Last September, Rose shared (with a graphic video) that she had months prior undergone emergency surgery after herniating two discs while performing stunts on an unspecified project. She said the injury came close to severing her spinal cord, leaving her in “chronic pain.”

I need to see her acting ability but I’d support this
Also I’m going to speak this into existence
Eliza dushku....
It’s clearly the most obvious choice here.
