Leslie definitely brings a whole different energy than Rose, portraying a wise-cracking, confident exuberance. A bit more snarky Nightwing than brooding Batwoman.
All in all, Leslie proves to be a refreshing, exciting move for Batwoman and the Arrowverse as a whole. Never-before-adapted characters are cool, but original characters are way cooler and much more interesting for everything involved.
There won't be any concerns about Leslie's ability to lead the show after the first hour. She's got the physical prowess, the presence, and an emotional softness that are immediately engaging on screen.
Totally in line with the other Arrowverse shows, which have an audience, Javicia Leslie is a great find who makes Batwoman her own. A welcome new member to DC's Bat Family.
In Leslie's hands, Ryan Wilder is instantly and infinitely likable; she's a little emotionally raw and surprisingly snarky (her humor was easily my favorite thing about her!).
