Batwoman Season 2: Release Date, Cast, Trailer, Synopsis, Villains, and News

New DVD release, , , , ,
Batwoman is finally back! After cutting season 1 short by a few episodes due to the pandemic and a brief covid-related hiatus, season 2 is ready with a new hero, some new villains, and Gotham in mourning for a missing Kate Kane. Whatever the reason for Ruby Rose’s departure, new star Javicia Leslie is an exciting addition to the show who, as a bisexual Black actress playing a Black lesbian brings with her the possibility to broaden the definition of hero even further than Kate Kane already did. Here’s what to expect for season 2. Batwoman Season 2 Release Date…

There’s always a build-up before a new season, but with the longer time gap and Javicia Leslie coming in to play a new Batwoman, this feels like an extra juicy hiatus.

New DVD release, , , ,
The new Batwoman is coming to The CW in 2021. We got our first early look at Ryan Wilder the character last week when DC Comics dropped a preview of the upcoming Batgirl #50 special issue, in which Ryan will make her first appearance, but, today, we got our first proper look at Ryan as our live-action, on-screen Batwoman, set to appear in Batwoman Season 2. Check it out… “Ryan’s journey starts from a place of ‘What can this Batsuit do for me?’” said showrunner Caroline Dries of the new look. “But it’s not long before she realizes the power…

New Batwoman Ryan Wilder Gets Surprise DC Introduction

New DVD release, , ,
In the contrived battle between comics and TV, television (aka America’s favorite pastime) usually has the edge. But, sometimes, sometimes, comics get the drop on the old idiot box, and that seems to be the case with the introduction of new superhero character Ryan Wilder. Ryan, who will take over the mantle of Batwoman from Kate Kane in the second season of Batwoman, is a character created for television and set to be portrayed by Javicia Leslie, but, first, she will be seen in comic book form. Per DC Comics, Ryan will appear in Batgirl #50, an extra-sized issue by…

Batwoman Season 2 Casts Victor Zsasz

New DVD release, , , ,
Batwoman Season 2 is already in for some pretty big changes, with Javicia Leslie taking up the mantle of the Bat. Now, she’s got a villain to face, as well.

Batwoman Season 2: What to Expect

New DVD release, ,
Batwoman ended season 1 with so many cliffhangers it’s almost hard to keep track – Jake Kane was hot on the trail of his daughter, things between Sophie’s ex Julia Pennyworth were heating up, Alice killed Mouse and face-swapped Hush to look like Bruce Wayne. And then the real world gave the fictional one a run for its money, with lead actor Ruby Rose leaving the show and showrunner Caroline Dries and the producers choosing to recast the role. With Batwoman season 2 on the way in 2021 and Javicia Leslie has been cast as Ryan Wilder, the next hero…

Batwoman Season 2 Casts Shivani Ghai as Safiyah

New DVD release, , , ,
The news of Ruby Rose’s departure from Batwoman Season 2 not only left the future of the Kate Kane character up in the air, but also the entire world of the show, which is built around the relationships Kate has with her friends, family, and colleagues. Now that we know Javicia Leslie will be stepping up to take the Batwoman mantle in Season 2, and that she will be playing Ryan Wilder, we’re desperate to know if she’ll be bringing any other new characters with her. Well, we just got another major casting announcement: The CW has hired Dominion actress…

Batwoman: Javicia Leslie Reveals Her Superhero Inspiration

New DVD release, , , , ,
Fans got to meet Javicia Leslie at DC Fandome’s BAWSE: Females of Color Within the DC Universe panel, where she and other Actresses of Color in the DC universe talk about their roles. Leslie will star as Ryan Wilder, an original character who takes on the titular role of Batwoman in the show’s upcoming second season. Ryan Wilder is described as: Likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed. She’s also nothing like Kate Kane, the woman who wore the Batsuit before her. With no one in her life to keep her on track, Ryan spent years as a drug-runner, dodging…

Will Luke Fox Become Batwing in Batwoman Season 2?

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains Batwoman spoilers. While we eagerly await Javicia Leslie’s exciting debut as Ryan Wilder, the new titular hero of Batwoman, another major development for Batwoman season 2 has flown under the radar.  Will Luke Fox be stepping up as Batwing? Fans have been eager to see Batwing since the name Luke Fox was first associated with the project. The appearance of #SwoleLuke on Earth-99 during the Crisis on Infinite Earths who had a distinctly different (yet all-too-familiar) personality and hinted at his own history of heroism and/or romance with that Earth’s Bruce Wayne only served to stoke the…

Ruby Rose Comments on Reasons For Batwoman Exit

New DVD release, ,
It’s highly unusual for a series lead to depart a series, especially after only one season, but it’s not unheard of. Understandably, fans and even casual bystanders are often curious about an actor’s decision to leave what is often depicted as a highly glamorous job, but in actuality is a (well-compensated) very difficult one. The latest example of this comes in the form of Ruby Rose’s departure from Batwoman ahead of its second season. While the news was announced back in May, Rose is commenting for the first time (past her initial statement, which didn’t go into details) about her…

The new Batwoman has been revealed! Javica Leslie (God Friended Me) will step into the cape and cowl when Batwoman Season 2 arrives on the CW in January 2021.

Rose left the show in May, shortly after the season one finale aired.

Which brings us to Javica Leslie as Ryan…

How Batwoman Takes on Policing and Social Issues

New DVD release, , , ,
Police brutality has gone from a niche concern – one most white people considered impolite to bring up at dinner parties – to a compulsory national conversation. It’s long overdue, which has left many playing catch-up, especially white folks and popular media. As David Dennis Jr. pointed out in his excellent Twitter thread (seriously, go read it!) superhero shows have an especially tall order, given that they rely on portraying lawlessness and a fictionalized criminality that the hero can then clamp down on. But that image is out of touch with reality and can send damaging messages. We’ve long discussed…
