Dismissing the reports that Ruby Rose-s Kate Kane will be killed off in "Batwoman" second season after the actor-s exit, showrunner of the superhero series Caroline Dries has said they will never "erase" the identity of the character. Rose, who was the first lesbian live-action superhero on TV, had exited the series in a shock announcement last month. She played the role of Batwoman aka Kate Kane, a cousin of Bruce Wayne/Batman, who dedicates herself to defending Gotham in his absence.
The makers of The CW show are planning to introduce a new character to replace Kate, whose "disappearance will be one of the mysteries of season two", Dries said. "As a lesbian who-s been working as a writer for the past fifteen years, I-m well aware of the -Bury Your Gays- trope and I have no interest in participating in it. That-s why it-s important to me as the showrunner to clarify any misinformation out there about Kate Kane and recasting Batwoman," the writer said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
