Batwoman TV series to replace Kate Kane character
Variety has confirmed that The CW and Warner Bros. Television are looking to cast a completely new character to play Batwoman for the show’s second season. They state that leaked casting notes state the new lead character will be Ryan Wilder and could be played by a woman of color. She is described as:
“She’s 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 the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits. A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat 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.”
