Actress Ruby Rose makes history as the titular heroine of Batwoman, television’s first superhero series led by an openly gay character.

“Everyone wants to play a superhero,” Rose told “Emmy” magazine in an interview. “Batwoman, in particular, means so much to me because she’s so comfortable within her sexuality. It’s a character that I wish I could have seen on television growing up. It’s time. It’s time to have a gay superhero.”

“I packed up everything and came to the States with, like, two suitcases,” she recalled. “And I didn’t get anything for two years. Couldn’t get a manager, couldn’t get an agent, could not get an audition,” Rose said.
