Javicia Leslie will be the new series lead on the CW's 'Batwoman.' She will play Ryan Wilder, who will take over from Kate Kane (Ruby Rose).

Warner Bros. Television, the CW and Berlanti Productions announced Wednesday that Javicia Leslie has been cast as the new series lead of “Batwoman.”

Leslie will portray Ryan Wilder, described as “likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed,” who in Season 2 of the superhero show will take over the Bat-mantle from Kate Kane. Her casting makes her the first Black actress to portray Batwoman in a live-action production. Similarly, Ryan will be the first Black character to become the caped vigilante in any medium.“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.
