Javicia Leslie is a plant person. “Ryan got her plant when she was technically an older teenager, young adult,” Leslie says during a late December video call. (The CW)Leslie was announced as the new “Batwoman” in July after the show’s original star, Ruby Rose, exited the series after one season. Leslie’s casting makes her the first Black actress to portray Batwoman in any live-action production. “Now that Ryan is becoming Batwoman, I feel like it opens up the possibility of what it really means to be Batwoman and that it doesn’t really matter who’s under the suit,” says Leslie.
