Batwoman season 2: Kate Kane will not be recast; meet ‘Ryan Wilder’
According to a report from Decider, the CW series is going to be looking for a new character to fill the role left by Kate on the show. This may alleviate some concerns that they have about just casting someone who looks similar to Rose; it gives casting a lot more creativity when it comes to who they want to bring on board. (News of the change first kicked off in a since-deleted threat on Reddit.)
So who is the character? For now, they go by the name of Ryan Wilder. This may just be a placeholder name, so don’t get too attached to it for now. Here is what the official character description has to say about her:
“She’s likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed. She’s also nothing like Kate Kane, the woman who wore the batsuit before her … With no one in her life to keep her on track, Ryan spent years as a drug-runner, dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits. A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat could also kill you with her bare hands, Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. An out lesbian. Athletic. Raw. Passionate. Fallible. And very much not your stereotypical All-American hero.”
The challenge with moving in this direction is that it almost reboots most of the first season — this character can’t just fit in to every aspect of Kate’s life, and the show’s going to have to figure out some ways to pivot. This is a risk — a huge one — but we’re eager to see what comes as a result of it.
