Javicia Leslie will replace Ruby Rose as the leading protagonist of The CW’s Batwoman in the second season, but how will her character take up the mantle of Gotham’s protector and join the Bat-Gang?
When Rose announced that she was quitting the show, fans assumed that The CW would just recast someone else in the role. A fair assumption, given the fact that this is what usually happens in a major movie or TV production. But it became apparent that showrunner Caroline Dries had bigger ambitions for the series. So, knowing that Kate Kane would simply be written out instead of being recast, fans started speculating as to how the producers may approach this.
If anything, we’re excited about what Leslie will bring to the role. Even in terms of diversity and representation, she’ll be a great addition to the Arrowverse as a black bisexual thespian.
