Dougray Scott Is Leaving the Cast
“Having Dougray Scott as Jacob Kane on Batwoman was incredibly special for all of us,” showrunner Caroline Dries said in a statement (via EW). “An actor with his pedigree and reputation elevates any project, and he had great chemistry with his castmates. We loved telling Commander Kane’s story for the last two seasons, and we will always leave the door open to have him return. We wish him the very best!”
“The character obviously had a really intense story line,” she said, noting the death of his daughter and his subsequent Snakebite addiction. “The story was just lending itself of wrapping up the Crows because we took such a hard stance against police brutality this season and really used the Crows to represent the metaphor of that. For us, the story could really only end to Ryan’s satisfaction [if the Crows were] shut down completely. To us, there was no version of the Crows that could exist that felt okay; that felt like a compromise.”
