Javicia Leslie: she slips into the role of "Batwoman"

The series "Batwoman" has found a new main actress: Javicia Leslie takes over from Ruby Rose.

There is a new "Batwoman". Javicia Leslie (33) will take the lead in the series. The showrunners announced on Instagram. "I am very proud to be the first black actress to play the legendary Batwoman role on TV, and as a bisexual woman, I am honored to be part of this groundbreaking show that has pioneered the LGBTQ + community," According to US media reports, she declared her new job. Javicia Leslie was born in Augsburg according to "IMDb" and moved to the USA with her family as a child. She became known for her role in the series "God Friended Me" and was also seen in "The Family Business".

The new Batwoman won't be Kate Kane, the character Ruby Rose (34) played in season one. "Ryan Wilder will become Batwoman," says the series creators. "She is personable, chaotic, a bit naive and unrestrained." And she wasn't like Kate Kane at all, the woman who wore the batsuit in front of her. Ryan had been dealing with drugs for years and now lives with her plant in her van. She was "anything but the typical American heroine". But she has one important thing in common with her predecessor: Ryan Wilder is also said to be an openly lesbian figure.

"You will be great"

Ruby Rose, who surprisingly left the series after a season, is happy for her successor. "OMG !! This is incredible !!", she wrote on Instagram. "I'm so happy that Batwoman is being played by a great black woman. I want to congratulate Javicia Leslie on taking over the cape. You meet great colleagues and crew members. I can't wait to see season two, you will be great. "

Like "Batwoman" writer Caroline Dries (39) revealed via Twitter, the character Kate Kane will not die a serial death: "I love Kate Kane like her – she is the reason I wanted to do the show. We will never wipe it out," Dries wrote. In fact, Kane's mysterious disappearance was one of the great secrets of season two … the new episodes are slated to be seen next year.
