As noted in the post’s caption, Wilder is currently suited up in Kate Kane’s<\/strong> iconic Batsuit, presumably as she will appear in the beginning of the show’s second season. Over the course of the season, the Batsuit will evolve to fit Wilder’s character, described by DC Comics’ website<\/a> as “likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed.” Also noted on the website is how the costume will evolve to reflect Wilder’s identity as a Black woman, as discussed by Leslie and showrunner Caroline Dries<\/strong> during the DC FanDome: Explore the Multiverse event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Wilder, an original character wholly unique to the CW series, was created in response to the news of Ruby Rose’s<\/strong> departure from the show following the conclusion of its first season. As previously reported by TCN<\/a>, Rose departed the show as the workload was taking a toll on her mental health, which the actor has been very open about in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
