Batwoman star Javicia Leslie has stated that, despite not having filmed any of the show’s second season, she already feels connected to her character.
Earlier this year, it was revealed the Ruby Rose would be leaving the role of Batwoman for the CW Arroverse show of the same name. The actress has since given a few reasons as to why she left the role and was replaced by actress Javicia Leslie. It’s currently unclear as to how Leslie’s new character will step into the role of Batwoman but the actress has made it clear that she already feels a connection to her character.
During a recent interview, Javicia Leslie talked about the importance of being the first black woman to portray Batwoman. She also revealed that she felt an immediate connection to the character due to a shared “quirky but ‘I’m a boss if I have to be’ type of mentality.'” How this will be implemented in the show, however, is currently unknown.

Here’s the official synopsis for Batwoman season two:
Season two kicks off with a major game-changer that will alter Gotham and The Bat Team forever. As the dust settles, Batwoman has everything working against her – including the recently escaped rogues’ gallery of villains – and everyone will come to see her in a whole new light. Alice meets her match when she becomes entangled with a dangerous foe from her past who knows exactly how to prey on her vulnerabilities. As Luke (Camrus Johnson) and Mary (Nicole Kang) find their footing as sidekicks, a romance will shake up their dynamic. Meanwhile, Sophie (Megan Tandy) and Julia’s (guest star Christina Wolfe) budding relationship will face its first real test and make Sophie question everything she thought she knew to be true.
Batwoman season two is currently set to air in 2021 on The CW. Stay tuned for all the latest news on Batwoman and be sure to subscribe to Heroic Hollywood’s YouTube channel for more original content!
