Batwoman had been in a very weird place lately with the show getting renewed but at the same time losing it main star Ruby Rose. What's great is, they've found someone to replace Rose in the form of Javicia Leslie (God Friended Me), and it looks like Rose is all onboard for the casting.

Here's what Rose posted on her IG:

OMG!! This is amazing!! I am so glad Batwoman will be played by an amazing Black woman.❤️ I want to congratulate Javicia Leslie on taking over the bat cape. You are walking into an amazing cast and crew. I can't wait to watch season 2 you are going to be amazing !!❤️

While some thought that The CW would cast someone else to play the part of Kate Kane, the show is going another direction and will have Leslie play an entirely new character named Ryan Wilder. We don't exactly know how Wilder becomes the next Batwoman, but the character has been described to be living out of a van but is also ‘the most dangerous type of fighter.'

As for Kane's canon story, it's said that the second season will largely deal with her disappearance. If anything, it kind of sounds like there are plans to bring Rose back in the form of a guest appearance, since it would be weird for the character to just die offscreen. With Rose said to have hated working on the show, hopefully, she's onboard to shoot a proper sendoff for her character.

Batwoman is set to come back in January 2021.
