    ‘Batwoman’ Season 2 Officially Started Production

    Looks like CW is slowly starting its show’s productions. In an official tweet by Batwoman‘s account, Camrus Johnson and Nicole Kang shared a video from the set confirming that production has started for the upcoming second season. This will see a massive change with Javicia Leslie taking over the lead from Ruby Rose. It is good to see that Luke Fox and Mary Hamilton will remain as part of the main cast. They will help Javicia‘s character ease into her new role as Batwoman, while they uncover what happened to Kate Kane.

    The last season ended earlier due to the pandemic. Alice poisoned her closest ally, as Mouse was just about to leave her. Hush finally made his dream come true, as Alice gave him the face he always desired. Now, he looks like Bruce Wayne. Somehow he looks nothing like Kevin Conroy, who Kate seemed to recognize during the Crisis on Infinite Earth’s crossover. We get a tie-in to Supergirl, as Kate reveals she is still in possession of kryptonite that Cara entrusted to her.

    The ending kept a lot of storylines open. It is uncertain if Alice will return, as her relationship with Kate was the main focus throughout the season. We still don’t know why exactly Bruce Wayne left Gotham behind. There is the plot thread with the death of Lucius Fox potentially leading to a bigger mystery. It will be interesting to see how they tie everything together while making way for Javicia‘s to take over as the new Batwoman.

    Batwoman has found a new its new caped heroine in Javicia Leslie, the actress is set to make her debut in its upcoming sophomore season on the CW network. Leslie will replace previous lead Ruby Rose, who departed the show after its first season due to being unhappy with the long hours spent on set.

    Leslie will be portraying Ryan Wilder, a new and original character that is described as “likable, messy, a little goofy, and untamed” and apparently the complete opposite of Kane. This leaves the door open for Rose to at any point reprise the role for a guest appearance or two.

    It’ll be interesting to see how the show introduces Wilder; it has yet to be disclosed whether we’ll see this show move to another earth or if she will simply take up the mantle of Batwoman on earth-prime. Batwoman ended it first season earlier than planned due to the pandemic not allowing it to finish filming its last few episodes.

    According to a trade report, Leslie had this to say about the news “I am extremely proud to be the first Black actress to play the iconic role of Bawoman on television, and as a bisexual woman, I am honored to join this groundbreaking show which has been such a trailblazer for the LGBTQ+ community.”
