As cancellation fears loom large over Batwoman season four, fans have started a campaign to save the show, getting the attention of its star Javicia Leslie. Leslie took up the role of Ryan Wilder/Batwoman after Ruby Rose, who played Kate Kane’s Batwoman, exited the show in May 2020. At the beginning of season two, Ryan became the new Batwoman upon finding Kate’s suit in the wreck of an airplane crash after the original Batwoman went missing.
