Well, that didn t take long. Just two days after it was revealed that Warner Bros. and DC were testing actresses for the title role in
Batgirl comes the news that the studio have chosen Leslie Grace to star in the film. According to Deadline, Warner Bros. were already super high with the rising star following her breakout role in

The CW series continues to explore the Multiverse of DC by casting ex-

That s the case with this version of Renee Montoya, who has already left active duty in the Gotham PD when she turns up in

According to Deadline, Victoria Cartagena (
Manifest) is returning to the DC Universe as she officially joins Javicia Leslie in the upcoming third season of The CW’s
Batwoman. Cartagena has been tapped to portray the series regular role of DC hero Renee Montoya, a character which she previously played in Fox’s
Gotham.
