Didn't like the actress playing Batwoman


Shes not a very good actress.At least not good enough to carry a show if that's their plan.

reply

I don't believe they are planning to carry a show about her. I agree with you though. Ruby Rose did not do a very good job. She acted the exact same way in both unmasked and masked. She should have just made her id public knowledge. I wonder why she even bothered wearing a mask?

This whole Elseworlds crossover was one giant Batwoman backdoor pilot LOLOLOLO

Batwoman TV Series In Works At the CW With Groundbreaking Lesbian Superhero Lead From Caroline Dries & Greg Berlanti

reply

They put so much emphasis on the characters sexuality as if its integral to the story.I don't care if the characters gay,straight,bi,trans or sleeps with goats.I just want a decent actor and a well written character and story.Ruby Rose was not good in this and so far the character was bland and uninteresting.

reply

It was integral back in 2007-2009 when the new Batwoman was adapted into DC, but Transgender is all the rage these days, so this feels kinda dated.
If they were to introduce a Transgender Lesbian Batwoman, now that would be keeping up with times :D

I just read this a few hours ago (after I had made my post). I don't see how they're going to pull it off.

reply

Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

See the actress playing Batwoman is ACTUALLY Lesbian, so it'll all workout in the end.
Ahahhhahahaa.

reply

Talking about her acting. Not her sexual preference.

reply

They don't care and neither should WE!!!

reply

That's the biggest problem i had.I've never seen Ruby Rose in anything else so i can't attest to her acting in general but she was terrible in this role.She looked like she was trying really hard to emulate Bruce Waynes dark and brooding demeanor but she just didn't have the talent or range to pull it off.

Someone watches Screen Rant Pitch Meetings lol!

reply

Yeah, yeah, yeah...That!

reply

They're developing something, it will certainly have a pilot. I don't know why but they're pushing Ruby Rose pretty hard. She's somebody's Illuminati pet.

reply

She's terrible but it's not like the acting in the Arrowverse is of high quality anyway.

reply

Ruby Rose thinks playing Batwoman means talking in a low voice, clenching her jaw and constantly gritting her teeth.

It is amateur hour ... even by CW standards.

A spin-off TV series would be a disaster.
