Caroline Dries is speaking out about some rumors going around on how Kate Kane will be written off of Batwoman.

The showrunner of the series squashed the talk that the character would be killed off.

“As a lesbian who’s been working as a writer for the past 15 years, I’m well aware of the ‘Bury Your Gays’ trope, and I have no interest in participating in it,” she said in a statement to TV Guide. “My comments about recasting Batwoman have launched a storm of rumors and misinformation, and I wanted to clarify something.”

“Like you, I love Kate Kane – she’s the reason I wanted to do the show. We’ll never erase her. In fact, her disappearance will be one of the mysteries of Season 2. I don’t want to give away any of our surprises, but to all our devoted fans, please know that LGBTQ+ justice is at the very core of what Batwoman is and we have no intention of abandoning that,” Caroline continued.

Caroline Dries is dishing on why they chose not to re-cast Kate Kane in Batwoman.

The showrunner of the CW series opened up about why they are casting a whole new character to become the caped hero.

“To be honest with you, I did consider the ‘soap opera version’ [of recasting] for a hot minute, because selfishly we already had a couple episodes written, and transition-wise it would be seamless,” Caroline said, via TV Line. “But upon further reflection — and I think [Arrowverse EP] Greg [Berlanti] helped me make this call — he’s like, ‘I think we should just reboot Batwoman as a different character.’”

She also added that they will pay “respect to everything that Ruby [Rose] put into the Kate Kane character” and that “it also helps the audience, because we’re not asking them to address ‘the elephant in the room’.”
