“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
community,” Leslie said in a statement. Leslie's character of Ryan Wilder, who will don the cape and cowl, is a lesbian, as was Rose's Batwoman.:"For all of the little black girls dreaming to be a superhero one day... it’s possible!":"OMG!! This is amazing!! I am so glad Batwoman will be played by an amazing Black woman. I want to congratulate Javicia Leslie on taking over the bat cape. You are walking into an amazing cast and crew.
played Kate Kane and her superhero alter ego, Batwoman, during the first season of the series, produced by Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions.post without detailing why she was leaving:"It wasn’t an easy decision but those who know, know," Rose wrote."I didn’t want to not acknowledge everyone involved and how big this was for TV and for our community."
Although Leslie will now portray the superhero, her character arrives as Ryan Wilder, described in Wednesday's announcement 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."
As the character arrives,"Ryan lives in her van with her plant. A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat and could also kill you with her bare hands, Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. An out lesbian. Athletic. Raw. Passionate. Fallible. And very much not your stereotypical all-American hero."
I'm interested in the new take on Batwoman since this is will be an original take on the character
Cool. I enjoyed season 1, looking forward to season 2.
You must have forgot about Hallie Berry?
And no one will watch it or care to watch it
I can’t tell if you were paid to market the show or are doing it for social justice brownie points.
🤦♀️
Instead of superficially appeasing the blacks by roles, renaming etc, WHY NOT GIVE THE BLACKS jobs, their homeless a home? That's real dignity. Also white cops need NOT roam black localities with guns, but only batons.
Shame no one will see it
Hard to believe there are people who get upset by stuff like this.
