We’re officially less than a week away from the dawn of a new era for Batwoman, as the hit series will soon be making its return on The CW. The return of the series has already been met with quite a lot of fanfare, especially with Javicia Leslie stepping into the series’ lead role, following the departure of Ruby Rose’s Kate Kane. Leslie will be joining the series as an entirely new character, Ryan Wilder, a fact that has been met with quite a lot of discussion amongst the show’s fandom. According to a new report about the series in the Los Angeles Times, Leslie joining the series has already brought about some significant changes – particularly with regards to Ryan’s character. As showrunner Caroline Dries revealed, the notion of Ryan having a past as a drug runner - something that was in initial descriptions for the character - has been changed.
