‘Batwoman’ casts Javicia Leslie as new series lead
    2020-07-10  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

“BATWOMAN” has found its new series lead, with Javicia Leslie set to step into the cape and cowl for the show’s upcoming second season on The CW.

“I am extremely proud to be the first Black actress to play the iconic role of Batwoman on television,” 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 (previously played by Ruby Rose), the woman who wore the Batsuit before her. With no one in her life to keep her on track, Wilder spent years as a drug-runner, dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits. Today Wilder 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, Wilder is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. She is an athletic, raw, passionate, fallible, and very much not your stereotypical all-American hero.

Leslie takes over leading the series from Rose, who shocked fans when she announced her departure from the series in May.

Prior to joining “Batwoman,” Leslie starred on the CBS series “God Friended Me,” which aired for two seasons. That show was also produced by Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions. She also starred in the BET series “The Family Business” and the film “Always a Bridesmaid.”

“Batwoman” is produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. Caroline Dries developed the series and served as executive producer for Season 1 with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Geoff Johns. “Batwoman” is based on characters created for DC by Bob Kane with Bill Finger.(SD-Agencies)
