The CW has released a new teaser trailer for DC’s Batwoman series, and it offers our first footage of actress Javicia Leslie in action as she is out to protect Gotham City.
Leslie ended up replacing Ruby Rose in the role of Batwoman after she dropped out of the series. Leslie is playing a new character named Ryan Wilder who is taking on the mantle of Batwoman.
Ryan Wilder 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. A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat and also could 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.”
When previously talking about playing Batwoman and the costume she is sporting in the series, Leslie said:
“I love the fact that Ryan is becoming her own Batwoman — it’s her style, her swag, and her moment. I felt it was important that viewers could tell by the silhouette that Batwoman was a Black girl. With the form-fitting suit and beautiful Afro, we definitely nailed it!”
Batwoman is scheduled to return with new episodes on January 17th 2021. Are any of you planning on giving this Batwoman Season 2 a chance?
