Batwoman Javicia Leslie is playing a new character named Ryan Wilder, following former-Batwoman Ruby Rose's stint as Kate Kane

“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.

Leslie will portray a new character on the show named Ryan Wilder. She is described as likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed. She’s also nothing like Kate Kane , the woman who wore the Batsuit before her. With no one in her life to keep her on track, Ryan spent years as a drug-runner, dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits. Today Ryan lives in her van with her plant.

That's nice. Good for her. Still not going to watch anymore, through. Ruby Rose was the whole reason I did in the first place.

Javicia Leslie is beautiful! I can't wait to see her as the new Batwoman! JaviciaLeslie Batwoman

She's pretty 😍 but i dont watch the series

Javicia Leslie is so beautiful 😍

Javicia Leslie is BI. Does that mean she will date men also in the show?

Why not, looking forward to it.

Thank you Ruby! This is going to be amazing!❤️🦇🙌🏾

Yesssssss

Who

Great news! Let’s change it from Batwoman to Blackwoman. New BLM superhero

Fuckin yes!!!!!

Are girls called Ryan in USA?

Hollywood is finished! We know what really goes on, and it is beyond sick and evil! You all will be exposed.

Cause it often means they were chosen only for those attributes, not for their talents.

I wouldn't have asked what her sexuality was because it doesn't matter and I don't care but I guess we needed to know

It can’t possibly be worse then the last season of bat woman

I really don't give a shit and a half. Here sio the thing. I am sooo far passed racism and bigotry that i just see peeps and peeps. So when someone emphasizes their race and their sexuality as major reasons to play a character? It makes me question their acting ability.

I remember her on God Friended Me. She was pretty good.

To any actresses that are straight that wanted the role and were denied due to your sexual preference, I encourage you to bring suit against TheCW for violation of the EOA1964.

What's the relevance of 'bisexual' here?

Omg she is so pretty!!!

SHES BEAUTIFUL.

last time I checked, the batwoman in canon was white

I have no idea who she is but I’m smitten. 😍

I mean, since she's supposed to be a new iteration of Batwoman instead of being a recast, I have no issues with this. The show continuing past the god awful Season 1, though, that's what I take issue with.

Can't wait to see caitylotz Sara flirt with her

Checking off boxes like a boss.

Sure, take a role away from Jews and give it to Black people. This again.

The 1st black woman? This character has been portrayed ONCE in history. And WTF 'as a bisexual woman' What on jupiters ass does that have to do with anything? So damn stupid

Wow! Hope this works out. I’m intrigued to try a S2!

I'm intrigued and I'll stay optimistic, but will still have concerns

Omg

tasyateles gorgeous

The new Batwoman is beautiful! ☺️

whitepower. Kkk is coming...
