Ruby Rose has quit Twitter following a backlash against her casting as Batwoman.
The 32-year-old actress was recently announced as the first openly gay superhero in a TV series, which she described as a "game changer", but Ruby has subsequently decided to delete her Twitter account in response to the onslaught of negativity she's received.
Ruby's final tweet before shutting down her account saw the model-turned-actress bemoan the reaction to her casting in the upcoming TV series.
She wrote: "Where on earth did 'Ruby is not a lesbian therefore she can't be batwoman' come from -- has to be the funniest most ridiculous thing I've ever read. I came out at 12?
I am looking forward to getting more than 4 hours of sleep and to break from Twitter to focus all my energy on my next 2 projects. If you need me, I'll be on my Bat Phone."
