Ruby Rose quits Twitter after fans lash out over her casting as LGBT superhero Batwoman
Fan outrage and fandoms lashing out over the portrayal of their favorite superheroes and comic book characters is nothing new. It looks like the criticism might have forced yet another actress to go low-key on social media and even delete her official Twitter account.
In the light of The CW's decision to cast 'Orange is the New Black' actress Ruby Rose as Batwoman, social media had erupted into a barrage of opinions. The character will make their CW debut in the annual crossover event between four of the network’s DC shows: 'The Flash', 'Arrow', 'Legends of Tomorrow', and 'Supergirl'. While some welcomed the move with open arms, but others appeared to be wary of the choice, as they pointed out the Australian actress' acting chops, or the alleged lack thereof.
