While Javicia won't be reprising the Kate Kane character that Rose vacated, Leslie's new iteration of Batwoman will be the first Black woman to portray the heroine on film while remaining true to essence of what Ruby Rose started in her run as the caped crusader.
This is especially shocking given that the series not only holds a 79% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was CW's third most watched show, but that Rose had to endure all kinds of hate and homophobia when it was announced that the openly gay actress was cast to take on the role of Kate Kane a.k.a Batwoman.
