BATWOMAN Stars Respond To Ruby Rose's Shock Exit From The CW Series

@dracula - how could you not like vancouver? Sounds like Ruby is just high maintenance and couldn’t handle the workload.

@TheJustinHammer - This cast is shaping up nicely. Nic Hoult's great, Kittridge is coming back, and Pom Klementieff/Hayley Atwell/Rebecca Ferguson/Vanessa Kirby...

Honest question: what is the highest profile superhero role that an actor has had that wasn't the role they're most known for?

Probably Clooney, since he's probably more famous for Danny Ocean. But I'm curious what other people would say. (And I mean main headlining hero kind of thing, not cameos or villains.)

@tmp3 - But what singular role has Affleck had that people know him more for, though? He's mostly just known for being Ben Affleck. Or Bale? Maybe American Psycho, but it feels like a stretch.

Kilmer/Ice Man I had said (but deleted/streamlined the comment), but Clooney is I think the bigger star with the clearer answer.

@Spock0Clock - I would say Val Kilmer's Batman? Definitely not the role he is best known for which I would submit Tombstone or Top Gun.

You add more to the list if we were to include villains.

@patgreyc - same. I wasn't championing for her to get kicked out, I'm not attacking her, I enjoy her in some things (John Wick 2, XXX3), also not asking for the show to end either (it was a really mediocre season but there is still potential and I'd rather see it get better than fail).

But yeah the response from those two is really really telling, they are saying a lot without saying anything. Whenever you normally have a character that decides to step away from a role on these shows, you typically have people praising them, saying how much they will miss them, supporting future actions, etc. (take Emily Bett Rickards, Willa Holland, Colton Haynes (the first time), Echo Kellum, etc. on Arrow for example). When the lead actor walks away and the two actors that associate with her the most on screen don't even mention her by name, let alone saying anything about working with them or supporting their future endeavors, that's just so revealing.

And you know, if that's how bad the chemistry and relations were behind the scenes, then ultimately this is for the better. These two certainly are invested in the show (Luke is the best part, Mary has become pretty good too in the back half) and hopefully they can get someone who is not only more invested in the role but also more of a pleasure to be around. Because lack of chemistry behind the scenes leads to lack of chemistry on screen; I thought that was just how Rose was trying to portray Kate, but now looking back its clear she just wasn't into the role after a while.

@Tasmaniac - even if that was the case, and safety was an issue, that wouldn't cause these two to just have nothing to say about Rose. Sure, if safety was an issue, they wouldn't be allowed to talk about it. But just flat out not mentioning anything about Rose, like I noted in my previous comment? That's absurd and very striking. Safety has nothing to do with not wishing your co star well in the future, or saying you will miss working with them, etc.
