CW certainly expected their announcement yesterday to cast Ruby Rose as Batwoman would draw a ton of positive reactions, and they were ​right to an extent.





However, along with the positive reactions were a heap of ​angry fans opposed to casting Rose as Batwoman in the upcoming self-titled TV series.

The hostile reactions for the choice caught the attention of a pretty important person--to say the least--involved in the series.





Longtime Batwoman writer and the character's co-creator, Greg Rucka, took to Twitter to voice his support for Rose being tapped for the role.

Not that anyone asked me, nor does it matter, but I quite like Ruby Rose. Her Kate will be down to what the writers do. — Greg Rucka (@ruckawriter) August 8, 2018

​​Rucka is not set to actually be a part of the TV series, but he had further praise for the casting of Rose.

Her physicality in John Wick 2 was outstanding. She can definitely handle the physical stuff. Dye her hair, give her the wig, and give her some good scripts, and we shall see. — Greg Rucka (@ruckawriter) August 8, 2018

Fans will be able to see for themselves if CW made the correct decision when Rose debuts in the network's annual ​Arrowverse crossover in December.





Hopefully, the former Orange is the New Black actress can pull off a performance that satisfies her fan base, while also pleasantly surprising her naysayers.
