Under the cowl

She's vengeance. She's the night. She's Batwoman!Ā 

EW is debuting exclusive new photos fromĀ Batwoman's season 2 premiere (Jan. 17 at 8 p.m.), which will introduce Javicia Leslie as the new Batwoman.Ā 

When the CW superhero drama returns, Leslie's Ryan Wilder, a homeless martial arts expert, stumbles upon the Batsuit after original Batwoman Kate Kane's (Ruby Rose) mysterious disappearance. After years of feeling powerless within Gotham City's corrupt system, she views the cowl as a way to regain her power so sheĀ  takes it out for a spin — which eventually leads to the moment depicted in the adjacent image.Ā

A sinister homecoming

Credit: The CW

Amid all of the new Batwoman news, it's easy to forget that season 1 ended on a major cliffhanger: Alice (Rachel Skarsten) gave Tommy Elliot/Hush a new face so that he could infiltrate Wayne Tower as Bruce Wayne (Warren Christie) and steal the Kryptonite shard, which is the only thing that can penetrate the otherwise impenetrable Batsuit. Here, Hush-as-Bruce Wayne plays with a dangerous-looking Bat-gadget.Ā

Life inside a van

Ryan lives in a van, and her plant is her most prized possession. Coincidentally, Leslie is a huge plant person in real life (one of the many ways she relates to Ryan). During the show's DC FanDome panel, Leslie revealed that she actually names her plants.Ā

Based on Agent Sophie Moore's (Meagan Tandy) reaction, getting bad news in a letter doesn't make it hurt any less.Ā
