Ruby Rose has already shared an Instagram post expressing her excitement about landing the role of Kate Kane, a.k.a. Batwoman, on The CW, and while appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon the Aussie actress reiterated that she's overwhelmed to be playing the first openly gay superheroine to headline her own show.
At one point, Fallon mentions that kids will now be dressing up as her character for Halloween, to which Rose begins to get emotional. She then goes on to reveal that she had to skip The Meg after-premiere party for fear of either blurting out the news or bursting into tears.
“It’s a game-changer. I found out an hour before I did the premiere for The Meg and I was so nervous doing the red carpet, so I basically skipped everybody because I kept spontaneously crying … I feel like the reason I got so emotional is that growing up, watching TV, I never saw someone on TV that I could identify with, let alone a superhero, you know?”
