Revealed via a leaked casting call and confirmed by THR, The CW has decided no to recast the character of Kate Kane following Ruby Rose's exit and has decided to introduce and cast a new character that will takeover the Batwoman mantle. The character details are below.
Ryan Wilder is about to become Batwoman. She's likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed. She's also nothing like Kate Kane, the woman who wore the batsuit before her. With no one in her life to keep her on track, Ryan spent years as a drug-runner, dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits. Today, reformed and sober, Ryan lives in her van with her plant. A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat and could also kill you with her bare hands, Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. An out lesbian. Athletic, Raw. Passionate. Fallible. And very much not your stereotypical All-American hero.
