Batwoman’s new caped crusader, Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie), “represents a community that’s been overlooked for so long,” Leslie says of the smart, funny and fierce ex-con turned crime fighter, who is Black and gay. “There are people whose voices aren’t heard because they aren’t the ‘majority’…now there’s a superhero that not only identifies with them but will also fight for them.”
