Ruby Rose is Kate cane alliteration party I never realized before that Ruby
Rose has a name that seems like it comes straight out of the comics and the
Internet by the way it is thrilled with this casting which I'm sure puts a smile
on the CW's face I mean they're not even sure if they're gonna greenlight a full
series around bat woman but based on the excitement around this announcement
I think it's look well I don't know I think it's looking stronger right like
at the moment but I think that I think there's a little bit of a problem here
but I'm getting ahead of myself right so first off Ruby Rose certainly does check
all of the boxes for this role she's an openly LGBT actress that's been
a big thing of late you know wanting to cast people you know it's a complicated
scenario because does that you know if you have only LGBTQ actors playing LGBTQ
characters can they therefore play straight characters if it's not a
two-way street in one direction but that's a whole
other can of worms right but this is something that people have really wanted
to happen which i think is adding to the excitement of this casting announcement
and she first came to fame on orange is the new black Netflix's show which
aggressively highlights lesbian relationships and she's also become a
b-movie genre staple with movies like Resident Evil the final chapter XXX the
return of xander cage and John wick chapter two I thought she did the best
job in that last one and like a bat woman series itself it all sounds great
on paper but we'll have to see again what happens re execution now again this
character will debut on the CW's annual DC crossover this fall and if as I said
if things go well then she will get her own solo series for the 2019 2020 season
now here's how I feel about it I mean this is like this is great this is
really great from from a distance but so I kind of hate having to like say
anything negative about it but here's here's the reality
I think Ruby Rose has a great look when she first came on my radar I was like
she does look cool you know she's very she's very striking and she certainly
stands out with loads of leading lady career
at least you think she would have it because the problem is is that having
seen her a few times now in the films that I just mentioned she's not a
particularly good actress and what's more she's not even good at executing
action scenes she basically looks really good
until she's asked to do anything I'm sorry to say it but if you're familiar
with her will be roses work you know it's true her casting reminds me a bit
of thing Jones is Danny ran sure she looks the part but I don't believe she
can be the part that second one is crucial because a great actor can prove
that they are a character even if they didn't if they don't look like that
character they can you know they can they can change it which is the
conversation a lot of people had about iron fists just when they're not they
should cast an asian-american and the role a way that I would have liked to
have gone although it's interesting I think Ruby Rose actually it's gonna
shift Batwoman away very much from the way the character was depicted in the
comics I think the show has no choice so let me let me explain Ruby Rose to be
fair is on the same level talent wise as most of the CW and now DC streaming
casting choices the DC Empire that inexplicably
keeps expanding despite constant complaining about Greg Berlanti and Jeff
Johnson's work there they keep wondering more of this and for some reason handed
over the DC streaming shows to that team and I have I have no doubt again that
she'll make a striking Batwoman I'm sure she'll look amazing in the suit although
I also don't think because of her physicality she's not gonna look like
bat woman from the comics to borrow from a recent blockbuster film Mission
Impossible fall out she's not a hammer and bat woman is very much a hammer in
the comics so they'll have to change this character to be more of a scalpel
her casting in fact reminds me also Jason Momoa who was more also more of a
personality than an actor in fact I think Jason Momoa and Ruby Rose are very
similar in the types of personalities that they are and so far luckily it
seems that James Wan has done a great job tailoring off of the Aquaman movie
to Momoa instead of vice versa as actors are usually asked to do right Momoa
can't change let's change everything to suit Momoa and i think that's going
pretty well so maybe caroline dropped Reese the right
are an executive producer for this Batwoman show you know potential
Batwoman show maybe she can build the series around Ruby roses as strengths
while sidestepping her weaknesses but if that is the case that means we're in for
a cake cane as different from the comic book version as Jason Momoa as Aquaman
so bottom line this is a great step forward for LGBT Talent and it's a big
step forward for the character of that woman but I don't think anything lasting
will come out of this that will be up to whoever builds on this moment so that's
my thoughts for Ruby Rose cast as Batwoman I can't wait to see more but I
don't have a lot of faith in this capturing the magic again of what Greg
Rucka created for the character and JH Williams the third so write your
thoughts down below I'm but I know a lot of people aren't familiar with the
character so maybe Ruby Rose will be there a bat woman but I'm curious how
you feel about this again share your thoughts down below and of course as
always you can check out some more videos right now
