There’s a new caped crusader in town! Javicia Leslie stars as Ryan Wilder in CW’s “Batwoman” after Ruby Rose left the show she stepped into the bat suit, literally. WISH-TV’s Entertainment Insider McKinzie Roth caught up with the star ahead of her big debut.
In Season 2 of “Batwoman,” when Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie) first discovers Kate Kane’s Batsuit, she has no idea how drastically her life is about to change. A sassy, smart lesbian with a difficult past, Ryan sees the suit as her chance to finally be powerful and no longer a victim as she survives in the tough streets of the city.

Leonard Roberts has revealed the struggles he endured in his first series-regular acting role on the hit TV show “Heroes,” which he considers race-related. And former costar Ali Larter has issued an apology, noting that his account “absolutely doesn’t match my memory nor experience on the show,” which ran on NBC for four seasons from 2006 to 2010.
“Drumline” star Roberts played D.L. Hawkins, husband to Larter’s Niki Sanders, in the first season of the series, which was a giant springboard to success for many in its cast, including Milo Ventimiglia, Zachary Quinto, Masi Oka and Hayden Panettiere. Roberts’ character was killed off, off-camera, after the first season.
