Javicia Leslie has just been cast as the new star of the CW's 'Batwoman.' The actress, who previously starred in "God Friended Me" on CBS, is set to debut in the iconic role in January 2021."I am extremely proud to be the first Black actress to play the iconic role of Batwoman on television, and as a bisexual woman, I am honored to join this groundbreaking show which has been such a trailblazer for the LGBTQ+ community," Leslie said in a statement.
Leslie's iteration of Batwoman will center on a character named Ryan Wilder, according to Warner Bros., which produces the series. Ryan, who will be lesbian on the series, is described as a "likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed," according to a description. Notably, she's also described as "nothing like Kate Kane, the woman who wore the Batsuit before her" and "not your stereotypical all-American hero.""Batwoman" will air Sundays at 8 p.m. ET when the show returns.
Leslie's other credits include the BET drama "The Family Business" and 2019 rom-com "Always a Bridesmaid."
Good news she is black
😂😂😂😂
She is gorgeous!
Hopefully she's a better actress than Ruby Rose and gets better writers.
Between all DC and Marvel made-for-tv spinoffs, they’re pretty much all unwatchable garbage.
A star nobody knows to play in a movie nobody will watch.

I thought “batwoman”worked in the Wuhan lab?
WHO
So now they’ll be two. That’s great, will they work together to kill ALL bad guys
And they wonder why people think they're racist. Their first reaction is quite telling.
Is she part bat? Even a little? People will revolt if she isnt
Bats are blackish so I suppose it's ok. 😂
I'm shocked...
Blackwoman!
Of course

Montreal police to announce street checks policy after systemic bias reportMontreal police are to announce a new policy on street checks today, months after an independant report found evidence of systemic bias linked to race. The only way to avoid perceived perception of targeting a specific class of people; street check everybody all the time. It's been done in the past...¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ I wonder what other factors are involved in the apparent over-representation of certain visible minority groups as a percentage of the overall population. As usual, no context = poor quality stats. What about locations, times, days, circumstances, criminality...?
