New lead star of “Batwoman” Javicia Leslie unveiled her first look as the Gotham’s new hero, Ryan Wilder.

The American actress has shared a photo on Instagram suited up in her cape and cowl.

Leslie, who previously starred in “God Friended Me,” replaced Ruby Rose who left the show last May after one season.

“I am extremely proud to be the first Black actress to play the iconic role of Batwoman on television, and as a bisexual woman, I am honored to join this groundbreaking show which has been such a trailblazer for the LGBTQ+ community,” Leslie said in a statement.

According to entertainment news Variety, Leslie will play a new character on the show named Ryan Wilder. She is described as “likable, messy, a little goofy, and untamed.”

“Batwoman” is scheduled to air its second series in January.
