Not gay enough, not Jewish enough? Ruby Rose is still an interesting choice to play Batwoman
Unless you are living under a rock, you would know that Ruby Rose has quit Twitter. While it is not rare or unheard of for celebrities to shut down their social media profiles despite millions worth fan-following, the reason behind the Australian actress deleting her page is plain sad, disappointing and indicative of the underlying culture of bullying in Hollywood. It all began last week when The CW broke the news about Rose playing the first lesbian superhero, Batwoman, to headline a series of her own on the network.
As it's understood, the plan was to introduce the iconic Batverse character during the annual crossover event of the network's four popular DC shows — 'The Flash,' 'Arrow,' 'Legends of Tomorrow,' and 'Supergirl.' In addition to a debut in the Arrowverse in December, a solo series starring Rose, an openly lesbian actress, as the Kate Kane alter ego was also reported to be under consideration. What started out as a step forward in the direction of representation, unfortunately, soon turned into a social media brouhaha with fans and people from all sections jumping into the debate on whether or not Rose is the right fit for Batwoman.
