A new actress has been cast to play Kate Kane in the second half of Batwoman season 2. Back in August 2018, Ruby Rose was cast as Kane for The CW’s show about the Crimson Knight. Upon the series’ release, Batwoman didn’t receive as much praise as previous Arrowverse shows like The Flash or Legends of Tomorrow, but Kane still played an important role in the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event.

From the very beginning, Rose’s casting sparked debates among fans online. After Batwoman season 1 aired, it was announced that Rose would not be returning for season 2. Rose’s on-set injury is one reason the actress decided to step away from the role. The intense hate the actress received also likely had something to do with her departure. Rather than recasting Kane, Javicia Leslie became the star of season 2, playing a brand new character named Ryan Wilder, who is also the first Black iteration of Batwoman.

It was believed that Rose might return to Batwoman to explain the character’s disappearance at some point. However, Deadline now reports that actress Wallis Day will step in to play Kane this season. How exactly the recasting will be explained on the show has yet to be revealed, but Day will be playing an “altered version” of Kate Kane.

The decision to add a new character to Batwoman rather than recast Rose was well-received. Wilder’s addition to the series added a unique aspect to the show, but the disappearance of Kane has remained one of the show’s biggest unanswered questions of this season. Batwoman’s most recent episode “Survived Much Worse” started to give viewers answers. It was revealed that Kane was alive but just injured beyond recognition due to the plane crash over Gotham City. It’s currently unknown how big of a role Kane will play in future episodes of the show. That being said, with Day being cast in the role, it’s safe to assume the original Batwoman is about to get a lot more screen time.

Wallis is an up-and-coming actress; however, she has experience acting in a superhero show. The actress played Nyssa-Vex in all twenty episodes of Syfy’s Krypton TV series. Some may be disappointed that Rose won’t be returning as Kane, especially since Rose just recently expressed interest in returning to Batwoman. With Wallis playing an “altered version” of Rose’s character, this could start an interesting storyline for the series and possibly increase ratings for The CW. Now that Wallis has been cast in the series, it’s likely Batwoman will finally start answering more questions on Kate Kane’s disappearance.
