Do you think it was better to axe the red wig and used her natural black hair instead?



33 y/o Jacivia Leslie who plays Ryan Wilder as the new Batwoman for Season 2 has revealed that the RED WIG that Batwoman was known for will be GONE after a few episodes as her natural AFRO HAIRSTYLE will be the new look for the first Black Superhero!!

Ryan will suit up to replace Kate Kane wearing the red wig to hide her identity in protecting Gotham City as Kate Kane goes missing

But by episode 3,she will remove the wig that molded the character and instead use her natural black curly hair when it's all said and done as she becomes her own identity!!

Leslie said "I love the fact that Ryan is beocming her own Batwoman. It's her style, her swag and her moment!It was an honour to be able to collaborate with Caroline and Maya. It I feltit was important that viewers could tell by the silhouette that Batwoman was a black girl. With the form fitting suit and beautiful afro, we definitely nailed it"

Former and Current arrowverse actors also praised the new look including Katherine McNamara who played Mia Smoak and David Harewood from Supergirl

Season 2 is still filming in Vancouver as the new season won't air until January 2021

Do you think using her natural black hair was better than the red wig?.

Because changing the look of the character's hair is a way more progressive fight than wealth equality or locking up all the rapists.

Somehow it looks even stupider, which I didn't think was possible.

It's hard to know whether Ducky is just communicating something extremely poorly or if he's horrifically misinformed. Offhand, I can think of maybe a dozen live-action shows featuring black superheroes from Black Lightning (which had some cool moments) and Luke Cage within the past few years to MANTIS in the early 90s and... come to think of it, were there black superhero shows on tv before MANTIS? There must have been, but nothing is coming to mind.

This. Also, the point of the wig is to further hide their identity.

To be fair as a fan we will never get a satisfactory character because in the end none of the characters look or act like the comics they were taken from or if they do the comics are so dated that they just cannot translate to a modern story. Thats why the best cat woman in film looked like a 50 yo s&m club matron (batman returns), why harley had to be over hauled for tv as the suit would be laughable at best (closest to it would be stitches from sky high) or the fact that to get a character to be close to a teen titan starfire you would have to put fake boobs on a gymnast and paint her/him orange only to redubbed by a bubbly 30 yo voice actor that works on a kids show or higher the shebeast they went with in titans who probably could have rocked the role if given a better character redesign.

Unfortunately the comic puritans are what hold genres back as they are demanding fictional races be made white or characters be whitewashed to have certain attributes. Or SJW trying to co opt a character to preach an agenda or atleast the critics try to frame it that way.

Tl:dr comics are non real standards that when adapted to live cause someone to get pissed.

It was a kinda cool outfit. Plus keep in mind that Catwoman's costume has REPEATEDLY and substantially changed many times in the comics themselves. iirc, at the time her current comic outfit involved boob-socks so it wouldn't have worked in film and didn't even look good in the comics.

Not sure what's being referenced, but if this is about Harley Quinn she's only been around since the 90s and her cartoon costume would have worked fine.

Which aren't necessarily any of the problems with that god-awful take on Starfire, although there are certainly actresses who COULD have met all of the specs including the voice and costumes that would have come closer to what people actually wanted but they chose to go in a different direction.

@zeus I was refering to the people that are it has to be one hundred percent comic accurate or its a failure but they always want fictional races like tamaran to be white, mermaids white and others. A quick rundown of issues caused by this can be found here

@ScritchOwl I don't have mentions enabled. Second, if a race is depicted in comics (or cartoons) as one thing, why wouldn't you have it be that thing? There are no logistical issues there with something that basic.

And it's not like that's an issue most of the time, either. If you feel that the Justice League isn't diverse enough, rather giving us a black Hal Jordan you can just use John Stewart (like they did in the cartoon) or bring in another black superhero (like Cyborg in the DC films).
