The CW released its new poster for Batwoman Season 2. The poster offers a new look at Ryan Wilder's new Batwoman costume. Javicia Leslie will be playing the new Batwoman as she takes over the mantle which was formerly held by Kate Kane (Ruby Rose). Her character is a former drug dealer who is trying to pay back the debt that she owes from the citizens of Gotham City.
In order for the character to accomplish her goals, Wilder creates her own Batwoman costume and works on protecting the city streets. Wilder debuted in the comics in Batgirl #50, which displays an entirely different personality from her predecessor.
Batwoman executive producer Caroline Dries stated that when The CW revealed Wilder's costume, Wilder's journey begins on what can the Batsuit do for her. She realizes the power of the symbol and what it can do to the citizens of Gotham City. Wilder embraces what makes her special and adjusts the suit to both fit her physically and figuratively. This would mean creating a new body design and new cowl, that shows undeniably that she is powerful.
Dries continued, "The wig was something we never perfected in season one, and Janice Workman crushed it with this new take. Javicia and I saw various prototypes of styles and red ombres, and at one point we were trading our own iPad-doodled versions. Janice translated that into what we are looking at now. When I see it, I smile. It makes me feel inspired."
The actress was also thrilled to be in the role. She said, "I love the fact that Ryan is becoming her own Batwoman—it's her style, her swag, and her moment! 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!
Batwoman Season 2 premieres on January 17, on The CW.
