Concept and creation
Kate Kane's version of Batwoman is a relatively recently created DC Comics character, first appearing in 52 #11 in 2006.[8] She has only appeared in live-action in the Arrowverse series and has also made cameo appearances in numerous animated projects.[9][10] With the announcement that, during the Elseworlds crossover event, Batwoman would make her debut, Ruby Rose was cast as Kate Kane[11] and would later return to the role in her own series titled Batwoman.[12] She also appeared in the crossover event Crisis on Infinite Earths. As of 2022, she has appeared in five out of the seven Arrowverse shows: The Flash, Arrow,Supergirl, Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow.
Characterization
Rose said that she took the role too serious, and had a diet, while training everyday, something easy to her after she starred in xXx: Return of Xander Cage and John Wick: Chapter 2.[13] Rose admitted to being a fan of the character before she was cast, and got emotional when she did.[14] She also added that the sexuality of the character, which is lesbian, was an important part of the show, and something that got her on board.[15] When asked if she is a female version of Batman, she said that she is nothing like him, and she is a "game-changing" character.[16] She also said that her character would be a strong woman, and inspiration for all women and young women of the world. Rose left the show in 2020, initially claiming abuse by the studio;[17] however, in October 2021, Warner Bros. and Luke Fox actor Camrus Johnson confirmed that Rose had actually been fired from the series following "multiple complaints about [her] workplace behavior that were extensively reviewed and handled privately out of respect for all concerned" over the course of an investigation that took place over several months.[7]
Her place took actress Wallis Day, who would be playing the same character as her, making little changes to her portrayal.[18] When asked what she likes more about the character, she said "Batwoman is awesome, [...], Kate Kane is obviously such a huge character in the superhero world, so playing her is surreal but an honour.", while also saying that she will try to be comic accurate, something the fans want from adaptations of superheroes.[19]

Reception
