Javicia also just shared the first official photo of her as Batwoman, but in the old suit, which she is wearing in this set of photos.

Her new character Ryan Wilder will be wearing Kate Kane’s Batwoman suit at first, before getting her very own, new suit. See what she teased about the new Batsuit during DC FanDome!

“Just wait until Ryan Wilder puts her own spin on the Batsuit,” Javicia wrote on Instagram.

Javicia recently opened up about the similarities that she shares with her Batwoman character Ryan Wilder. See what she said!

The new Batwoman has arrived!

Star Javicia Leslie shared a first look as her suited up as the superhero with a first look pic on her Instagram tonight.

“Look out, Gotham, I’m suited up and ready to go…” Javicia captioned the first look on her Instagram. “But just wait until Ryan Wilder puts her own spin on the Batsuit. @cwbatwoman”

Javicia replaced Ruby Rose in the title role but will be playing a different character on the show and not Kate Kane.

She’ll star as Ryan Wilder, who is a “girl who would steal milk for an alley cat and could also kill you with her bare hands, Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. An out lesbian. Athletic. Raw. Passionate. Fallible. And very much not your stereotypical all-American hero.”

Ruby bowed out of the series after suffering an injury on set.

Javicia Leslie opens up about her upcoming Batwoman character!

The 33-year-old recently dished on the similarities she shares with Ryan Wilder.

“When I read the character description, it was definitely me,” Javicia told EW. “I loved the idea that it’s like goofy meets badass meets a person who doesn’t like to be told what to do, a person who does not like to follow the rules.”

“It’s really hard for me sometimes when it comes to like, ‘Well, okay, you have to do it this way as Javicia versus what you had to do when you’re an actor and you’re trying to present yourself,’” she added. “I loved the fact that Ryan is just who I am — just a hot mess.”

“I’m really into action. This has literally been my dream. It’s so funny because in May I did an interview and I said, ‘One of my future goals and one of biggest dreams is to become a superhero,’” Javicia said. “I wanted to be a Black superhero. You don’t get to see that that often. Then a month later, I become the first Black Batwoman.”

We are getting more details about the upcoming second season of Batwoman!

The cast took part in a panel during DC FanDome on Saturday (September 12), where they chatted about the new season, where Javicia Leslie is taking over the title role as an all new character, Ryan Wilder, and we got some info on a new suit.

“No, I haven’t,” she said in response to if she’s had any fittings yet. “We were talking about doing costume fittings very soon. That way we can be prepared as soon as we get [back to production].”

“But I know Caroline and I were talking about how important it is that if we’re going to have a Black Batwoman, that she needs to be, like, a sista when she becomes Batwoman,” Javicia added. “It’s important for her to feel like the silhouette of her could still look like that, with natural textured hair and things like that.”

Javicia added that she’s been sending showrunner Caroline Dries fan art, saying, “Oh my gosh, look at this! This looks really good.”

“How can we be sure that Ryan isn’t hiding what makes her awesome, with this suit?” Caroline said. “So it’s going to be a bit of an evolution. We’ll see the suit evolve early on in the season. Ryan is like, ‘For me to feel empowered in this thing, it needs to feel like it’s representing something I’m fighting for.’”
