"Her casting makes her the first Black actress to portray Batwoman in a live-action production. Similarly, Ryan will be the first Black character to become the caped vigilante in any medium.

"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."

That afro isn’t very aerodynamic. Physics and aerodynamics are racist

Doesn't really make sense, but it's a made up character so I guess I don't really care.

Why not? No one can go to the movies.

Save the 20 million per film for the big names when you can expect a return on your investments.

Here's the part where the OT gets mad about a Black woman being cast on a show they never watch.

Will the villain of the movie be a black? I don't think there ever is a "bad guy" of a superhero movie be black.
Or I could be mistaken, for I never watch any of them

I don't know, but I've never heard of this person. The only movies I see are the ones my kids drag me to.

I didn't realize this was a series.

It makes sense to cast her, I guess. Bats are black.
