Ruby Rose set viewers’ temperatures soaring with a steamy lesbian sex scene in her new show, Batwoman.
In the most recent episode of the comic book caper, which is streaming on Foxtel Now, the lead character romped in bed with her love interest in the raw X-rated scene.
Aussie actress Rose, 33, plays the series’ titular heroine, Kate Kane, the cousin of Bruce Wayne who transforms into the vigilante Batwoman and protects Gotham City.
Her character is a trailblazer as it is the first time a superhero has been a lesbian in a TV series, while Rose herself also identifies as gay.
The sizzling scene, which unfolds in the series’ fourth episode, sees Kate wake up in bed next to bartender Reagan (Brianne Howey) after asking her out in the previous episode.
The pair flirt between the sheets and when Kate tries to get up, Raegan grabs her for a passionate kiss.
Before long, the girls are rolling around on top of each other in the bed, and fans were loving it.

“I didn’t know I needed to see two women laying in bed and kissing so badly. #Batwoman,” wrote one fan on Twitter.
Added another: “Watching Batwoman: Starting off with a lesbian sex scene … wait, where was I?”
A third said: “There are two naked women in bed on my TV and they’re kissing. It’s 2019. #Batwoman got laid!”
A fourth chipped in: “good freaking lord ladies in bed together my wig is flying off #Batwoman”.
The scene was celebrated as it was seen as a huge step forward for the LGBTQ community.
While same-sex sex scenes are commonplace on pay TV, Batwoman airs before 9pm in the US and Australia on major networks, The CW and Fox8, respectively.
One fan commended the move on twitter, saying: “Watching Batwoman with Ruby Rose, she was in bed with her girlfriend what a step for LBGTQ. On regular TV who knew.”
Another added: “I was so shocked to see two women kissing in bed on TV and not wearing like full-body ski suits I actually had to pause the episode.”
Rose found international fame when she landed a role in Orange is the New Black.
She has also starred in Pitch Perfect 3.
