US audiences are apparently very excited about Ruby Rose's superhero debut as Batwoman next week.

In a report published by Variety, the DC Comics series for US network The CW is the one viewers are demanding and most aware of heading into the fall television season.

"For Batwoman, its demand is more than three times the market average title in the US already," Parrot marketing vice president Samuel Stadler told the publication.

"This says to us that this is a very strong contender, a release that should go very well…

"There are so many drama titles out there, if you have a hook against existing IP or audiences are already aware of the universe you're about to explore, it's much more likely that series will resonate."

A prominent television host, DJ and model in Australia, it was after moving to Hollywood that Rose broke through with a film career.
