Batwoman: first look at Javicia Leslie in costume
It's been several months now since Javicia Leslie was made official as the new protagonist of the Batwoman series, but since then we haven't had much news regarding the new season, other than a promotional illustration for the DC FanDome created by Jim Lee who portrayed the heroine in the possible new costume.

A few hours ago it was Javicia Leslie who broke the silence by revealing her first photo wearing the DC heroine costume, even if it is that of her predecessor , stating that the new version has yet to be revealed. Leslie shared the photo with an Instagram post where she wrote:

“Watch out Gotham, I'm prepared and ready to go … But just wait for Ryan Wilder to give his touch to the Batcostume. "

For the uninitiated, Javicia Leslie will not simply replace the role of the previous protagonist Ruby Rose, but will play a different character who will inherit Batwoman's secret identity; a bit like in the same Bat-family there have been more people who have worn the role of Robin.

The actress Ruby Rose played the character of Kate Kane, Batwoman's alter ego, debuting with the character initially in the Arrowverse crossover episode Elseworlds, before embarking on the first season of the series dedicated to her which aired on The CW in October 2019. After the conclusion of the first season, Rose left the television series DC, which had however already been renewed for the second season.



Javicia Leslie will therefore step into the shoes of another woman, precisely called Ryan Wilder, who will take on the role of Batwoman following the disappearance of Kate Kane. The actress's post may mean that initially Ryan Wilder will inherit the same costume as Kate, but later customize it by creating her own version.

After all, from the first information we have about the character, Ryan Wilder is described as a very different woman from the previous protagonist. Certainly far from the American hero stereotype, Ryan will be wilder, more impatient, passionate and extremely dangerous. We will see what the implications of such an unpredictable character will be in the series.

Batwoman is a character not to be underestimated in the DC universe. You can find the first issue of his series at this link.
