When BATWOMAN returns in 2021 to The CW, it will have a new star front and center: Javicia Leslie, who is portraying Ryan Wilder. (Ruby Rose, who portrayed Kate Kane in the ARROWverse and the BATWOMAN season 1, exited the series earlier this year.)

Leslie, who is openly bisexual, is also making history as the first Black woman to portray Batwoman.

“Honestly, it feels like an honor,” she said during the show’s DC Fandome panel. “It’s funny, because I was looking on Instagram, and I was scrolling through new followers, and I saw all these rainbows in the bio…I felt like exactly what I’ve always wanted to be, which is a role model. I feel honored; I feel excited. I feel like there’s so many little Javicias that don’t have voices, little Black girls that didn’t have a voice. Little bisexual, bicurious, lesbian, gay, everything that just didn’t have voices and I feel honored to be able to be a voice for my community.”
