Model turned actress Ruby Rose has unveiled a first look at herself as Batwoman.
The first picture, which was released earlier this week, shows her in full costume, complete with a long red wig and a signature smirk.
After her casting was announced earlier this year, many fans actively voiced their displeasure, which led to Rose deleting her Twitter account. While she’s off of social media, that did not deter her from taking on the role.
Ruby Rose was thrust into the spotlight after appearing on the third season of Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black,” where she was able to show off her unique tattoos and badass persona as Stella. Other than her overt sexuality, however, Rose wasn’t an especially strong actress. This didn’t stop Hollywood from casting her in action movies like “John Wick: Chapter 2” “XxX: Return of Xander Cage” and “The Meg.”

While many probably hoped for a more experienced actress to take on the iconic role of Batwoman, the initial photo of Rose in costume seems like a much-needed bode of confidence for fans.
“Batwoman” is set to air on the CW in 2019. Will you be watching?
