Following last month's first official look at Javicia Leslie as Ryan Wilder in her redesigned Bat-suit, The CW has (finally) released a full teaser for the second season of Batwoman in the form of a 60-second promo.
The trailer is not exactly hype-inducing, but it does give us a look at Wilder suiting-up as Gotham's new Scarlet Knight and taking out some street thugs. The footage also confirms that at least part of the season will focus on the search for Kate Kane (Ruby Rose), while hinting that Ryan may find herself at odds with Luke Fox, who reminds the headstrong vigilante that "Batwoman does not kill."
Wilder's initial costume actually belongs to her predecessor, but Leslie's character is expected to don her own version in episode 3 of the upcoming season, and we get a brief glimpse of her updated duds right at the end of the clip.
Leslie's casting was initially met with somewhat of a mixed response, mainly because a lot of fans are still disappointed that Kate Kane hasn't been recast and she'll be playing a non-canon (well, as far as we know) character. We'll see if this new Batwoman can win fans over when the show returns on January 17.
Batwoman season 2 will also see the return of Rachel Skarsten (Elizabeth Kane/Alice), Camrus Johnson (Luke Fox), Nicole Kang (Mary Hamilton), Meagan Tandy (Sophie Moore), Christina Wolfe (Julia Pennyworth), and Dougray Scott (Jacob Kane). Shivaani Ghai was recently added to the cast as Safiyah Sohail.
