Batwoman star Javicia Leslie has taken to social media to tease audiences with a first glimpse of her character Ryan Wilder donning the cowl as production commences on the second season of the series.

The first season focused on Kate Kane, who, armed with a passion for social justice and flair for speaking her mind, soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence. But don’t call her a hero yet…in a city desperate for a saviour, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.

With the departure of Ruby Rose, the second season will focus on Javicia Leslie as Ryan Wilder, who will succeed Kate Kane as Batwoman.

The look of Ryan Wilder donning the cowl is a behind-the-scenes shot, which Javicia Leslie posted on Instagram, who points out that even though Ryan will be donning Kate Kane’s batsuit initially, she can’t wait to be having her own spin on it.

The second season will also star Rachel Skarsten, Meagan Tandy, Nicole Kang, Camrus Johnson, Dougray Scott, Christina Wolfe, Warren Christie, Shivaani Ghai, Leah Gibson and Nathan Owens.
