Kate Kane, as in the comic book source material, is Jewish and that will be written into Batwoman
executive producer Sarah Schechter and showrunner Caroline Dries met with their eventual star, Ruby Rose, the Australian model-turned-actress wasn't sure about committing to a television show. But Rose said Sunday at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour that she knew she wanted to sign on for the role after hearing the duo's impassioned story pitches.
The character of Batwoman, aka Batman's cousin, Kate Kane, is the first lesbian superhero to headline her own series, and out actress Rose sees herself in the character. There is a big difference, however: "I don't brood as much. I really don't! I smile more," she joked, having mentioned that she was finally able to smile a lot more in an episode she recently filmed. While the character's sexuality won't be her biggest character trait, it is integral to the series' storyline — particularly flashback scenes to her days in a military school with a Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.
Another fundamental aspect to the character: That Batwoman is a character who has existed since 2006, and that her version of Kate Kane is hopefully the first of many to eventually air on television.
