Batwoman season 2: 5 actresses that could replace Ruby Rose
Wallis Day
We’ve seen a much blonder Day play Superman’s grandmother Nyssa-Vex on Krypton since the pilot episode and she’s knocked it out of the park ever since. She’s proven that she knows her way around a superhero adaptation (namely one focused on a DC property) so she would have no problem fitting into the world of Arrowverse, especially when playing another tough as nails ass-kicker for Batwoman.
In fact, on visuals alone, if we put a dash of red in her hair, she’d make a shoe-in for playing a former Batwoman from the comics in Carrie Kelley. For those unfamiliar, Carrie Kelley is best-remembered from her first introduction in The Dark Knight Returns, where Bruce Wayne took her under his wing to become his new and (at the time) third Robin.
In the time since, we have seen Kelley continue a stark evolution from Robin to Batgirl before eventually, by the end of the DKR trilogy, she adopts Batman’s cowl to become the new Batwoman.
The crux of the show is based in a world where Batman’s been gone for three years, but there hasn’t been a mention yet as to who this universe’s Robin is or where they could be. Maybe Carrie Kelley could be that Robin. Maybe Kelley could make her appearance as the new Batwoman and maybe, just maybe, that Kelley could have Wallis Day’s face.
