It looks like instead of recasting Ruby's role, a whole new person is filling the cape!
I don't know how deliberate this was, but

To be fair, Babs hasn't really been a n00b in quite a while. Like I know comics have a bit of an "eternal status quo" where their dates of birth and stuff slide along like in the Simpsons, but since the New52 Babs has been making it on her own.
Gail Simone was the best at writing her, I really don't know why she's not hired by tv shows and movies for the DC stuff. Birds of Prey would have been brilliant if she'd written it, her run on those comics (which featured the then-disabled Babs!) was great.
And speaking of the Robins, she has an on-off thing with Dick Grayson, the first Robin and current Nightwing!
