Batwoman boss: We'll write out Ruby Rose's Kate Kane -- not kill her off

Variety

Showrunner Caroline Dries wanted to reassure fans that, contrary to some rumors, Kate Kane will not be killed off when a new character will be introduced to succeed Rose as Batwoman in Season 2. “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,” Dries said in a statement posted to Twitter. “That’s why it’s important to me as the showrunner to clarify any misinformation out there about Kate Kane and recasting Batwoman. Like you, I love Kate Kane – she’s the reason I wanted to do the show. We’ll never erase her. In fact, her disappearance will be one of the mysteries of season two. I don’t want to give away any of our surprises, but to all our devoted fans, please know that LGBTQ+ justice is at the very core of what Batwoman is and we have no intention of abandoning that.”
