Warning: This post contains spoilers for the Sunday episode of Batwoman. Read at your own risk.
Bat Woman enlisted someone new to portray Kate Kane. TVLine learned that Krypton and The Royals Alum Wallis Day will take on the role of Ruby Rose, who left the CW series at the end of last season.
Season 2 revolves around the rise of Ryan Wilder (played by Javicia Leslie) as the new Batwoman following Kate’s mysterious disappearance after a terrible plane crash in Gotham. Kate finally reappeared in Sunday’s episode, looking virtually unrecognizable under heavy bandages while being held captive by Safiyah.
“Wallis Day is going to play our altered version of Kate Kane, and she is an incredible actress,” presenter Caroline Dries told TVLine. “I am excited for you to see the journey she faces.”
Although it has been revealed that Kate is still very much alive – although badly burned – everyone else believes she is dead, as body parts corresponding to her DNA have been recovered. The second half of season 2 will get to the heart of where she has been all this time and what it means for your character to move on.
Other credits of the day include Jekyll and Hyde, New house and the next film by Antoine Fuqua Infinitestarring Mark Wahlberg and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
