DC Fandome Batwoman panel was a fun reunion of our favorite actors, but the most exciting part is meeting Javica Leslie who will play Ryan Wilder, the first black woman to take on the Batwoman mantle. Leslie herself states that representing the LGBTQ and the Black community isn’t intimidating as it is an honor.
Jumping into season two, there are two major themes. The first theme for the next season is watching Ryan Wilder grow into the role of Batwoman and defining what that means for her. Wilder is described as a “statistic of injustice,” a position shared by many in the City of Gotham. Season two explores the impoverished community, as Wilder takes a stand against social injustices.
The second theme is the disappearance of Kate Kane. Each character is affected by the absence in different ways and form their own theories. As Rachel Skarsten explains, “I think Alice is going to be peeved. She has this beautiful, intricate plan for the demise of her sister and that will have been foiled. She also has a lot to worry about because we are introducing a new character, Safiyah.” Safiya, played by Shivaani Ghai, is the new big bad for season two.
We are so excited for the growing character dynamics next season will bring! What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments below or in our forum.

Kate just takes a "break", she will be back in season 2, mark my words
The 40 minutes talk was interesting but offered not really something new on season 2.
No reveals, no promo pictures and no teaser at the end. That was rather disappointing.
