“Look out, Gotham, I’m suited up and ready to go,” captioned Javicia Leslie on social media, wearing Batwoman’s cape and cowl. Leslie admitted it was “weird” slipping into the suit for the very first time. “I looked in the mirror and said, ‘Wow, like this is real. I’m a superhero!’” she says. “But I also know what this moment represents.” The 33-year-old actress, who identifies as bisexual, is taking the reins of the lesbian crimefighter from Season 1 star Ruby Rose. But Leslie is making history as the first African-American woman to portray Batwoman in a live-action production. Watch caught up with the Arrowverse newcomer.
BATWOMAN airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW and streams on cwtv.com.
