I don’t think you’d want to make Batwoman bi, in terms of the representation impetus behind the show. At the same time, creating a wholly new character to fit a formula does feel eerily similar to the Batwing situation in the comics.
The smart move here would be to have Rose exit the show by having the character exit Gotham... but still as a vigilante doing stuff off-screen, while the new Batwoman assumes the mantle and responsibilities in Gotham proper. That way, it feels less like a checklist of traits the6 what to check mark off and just replace, and more like an expansion of the show.
Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP
Hmmm, actually. I kinda like the idea of it being Catwoman. She'll still have ties to Batman, and if she knows Bruce is Batman, she can work with Fox still and know where the Bat Cave is. Plus, taking up her loves mantle is kinda poetic in a way.
Do I think it will be her, no haha. But I would be okay with it. I just want it to end up being a connected character in some way.

Not going to bother searching for the answer - new Batwoman from the show or they just making up a character who will become Batwoman for whatever reason?
Kate will stop being Batwoman for some reason. The audition scene implies it's due to injury or (apparent) death. The new character somehow obtains Batwoman's suit, and intends to use it to get revenge on Scarecrow, who killed her mother. That might not be how it actually goes down, but that's what's out there so far.

Hummm...
What if they introduce Batgirl to this verse as Batwoman? Or one of them at least. Maybe a Cass Batgirl/Batwoman. Edit: nevermind, I just saw the call.
Or they try a Batman Beyond approach.

Morons! I won't be watching, let the show die. Perhaps now I'll watch Titans - I hear Nightwing is actually Dick Grayson there.
There's a petition, if you want to further express displeasure:

That is more than disappointing.
Yes, its unusual for a lead actor to leave the show, but not unheard of. And considering its DC, with all kinds of weird crap going on, it doesn't take more than a line or two to explain the new face of Kate, if its even touched upon. But with this, I think they just shot themselves in the foot with this direction. And quite possible sunk the Batwoman series.
Yes, if this goes ahead I'm done with the Arrowverse, I've been disappointed too many times now.
Here is another article that goes to show that most of the existing fan-base are not happy with the decision:
