With the surprising newsworthiness thatRuby RosewasleavingBatwomancame the evenly surprising intelligence that , in response , the showrunners would not simply be recasting the role of Kate Kane , but would instead be entirely rebooting the show , starring a new character , who casting call name to as “ Ryan Wilder ” , who will come to take on the blanket of Batwoman in a 2d time of year of the show that wo n’t look very much like the first at all .
consort toTV Line , showrunner Caroline Dries did , briefly , regard the more button-down and traditional telly road of just re - throw off the role and letting audiences deal with it . But it at long last did n’t seem satisfactory .
“ To be true with you , I did consider the ‘ liquid ecstasy opera house version ’ [ of recasting ] for a hot minute , because egotistically we already had a couple sequence written , and modulation - smart it would be seamless , ” showrunner Caroline Dries said , while in conversation with Julie Plec , the showrunner of CW ’s Legacies . “ But upon further reflection — and I retrieve [ Arrowverse EP ] Greg [ Berlanti ] helped me make this call — he ’s like , ‘ I think we should just boot Batwoman as a unlike character . ’ ”

No , alternatively we ’re only get to face the elephant in the elbow room of , wait , where the hell is Kate Kane , and who ’s this peeress ? It ’s all in the carrying into action , basically , and either path can go very incorrect . We ’ll see how this one turns out when Batwoman returns for a very , very different 2d time of year on the CW .
