Javicia Leslie as Batwoman is SO COOL!!

The 33-year-old actress stars as Ryan Wilder/the new Batwoman in the upcoming second season of the The CW series.

On Monday (October 26), Javicia shared the first look images of her in the new Batsuit.

“Blackwoman, I mean Batwoman is here! 🦇,” she captioned the images on Instagram.

The new suit was conceptualized by Batwoman costume designer Maya Mani and created by Ocean Drive Leather. Her wig was created by Janice Workman and makeup styled by Cory Roberts.

“I was asked by [showrunner] Caroline Dries to design a Batsuit that was unique to the character of Ryan Wilder; as she is a highly skilled fighter, encapsulating her raw, athletic, and passionate nature was imperative” Maya Mani said in a statement.

“As Batwoman, Javicia Leslie not only brings a fresh perspective, but physical strength to the role,” she continued. “It was important for the new suit to define Javicia’s commanding presence while showcasing her athleticism and allowing her the freedom to express the physical nature of Batwoman, all while looking ultra-cool in the process!”

“I love the fact that Ryan is becoming her own Batwoman — it’s her style, her swag, and her moment!” Javicia said. “It was an honor to be able to collaborate with Caroline and Maya. I felt it was important that viewers could tell by the silhouette that Batwoman was a Black girl. With the form-fitting suit and beautiful Afro, we definitely nailed it!”

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.
