Batwoman star Javicia Leslie has revealed the first look at Gotham’s new hero, Ryan Wilder. The actor teased an image via her Instagram in which she is suited up in the cape and cowl.
Leslie will portray a new character on the CW series, described as likable, goofy and untamed. She is nothing like her predecessor Kate Kane, previously portrayed by Ruby Rose, who shocked fans when she announced her departure from the show earlier this year.
Wilder's Batwoman spent years as a drug-runner, dodging Gotham City police and masking her pain with bad habits. She is also an out lesbian, raw, passionate and fallible, defying the all-American hero stereotype.
The series is is produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television and is based on characters created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger for DC. The second season is currently in production in Vancouver, with plans to return in January on The CW.
