After making her debut on this year’s massive DC Comics crossover event on The CW, Ruby Rose will officially break new ground in the genre as the first openly lesbian superhero to lead her own TV show. The CW has officially greenlit a pilot order for “Batwoman” starring Rose as the titular hero, otherwise known as Kate Kane. As previously reported, Rose was cast as Batwoman in August, much to the dismay of some on social media. It was established in the crossover event in December that this universe’s version of Gotham City fell to chaos after Kane’s cousin, Bruce Wayne, left on a mysterious journey. The shared-universe features many LGBTQ characters, but Rose is the first openly gay hero to lead a show all her own.
