April 29, 2022 was a difficult day for the Arrowverse, as for legends of tomorrow canceled after seven seasons, The CW also decided to bring bat comes to an end after just three seasons. But just because Javicia Leslie’s adventures with Ryan Wilder are over doesn’t mean we saw the latest Leslie in this corner of DC media. On the contrary, like the flash Season 9, also known as her final season, brought Leslie back to the Arrowverse in intriguing ways.
It has been confirmed that Javicia Leslie will appear the flash Season 9, although it has not been revealed in how many of the 13 episodes of the season we will see it. This will be the second appearance of Leslie a the flash, as he previously appeared in parts three and four of the “Armageddon” arc at the height of season 8 as a future version of Ryan. While the natural inclination would be to think that Leslie would simply show up the flash as Earth-Prime’s Batwoman, the official details of her role have been kept under wraps for uh. Unofficially, however, there is another story, although now I will post a ATTENTION SPOILERS in case you’d rather learn this information when season 9 arrives.
Leaked Canadian graphics set photos (opens in a new tab) showed Javicia Leslie in downtown Vancouver filming a scene with Grant Gustin, aka the flashThere’s Barry Allen and someone who appeared to be Paul Anthony, who played Rainbow Raider in the first season. But here’s the twist: Instead of dressing up as Batwoman, Leslie played the Red Death. I won’t share what happened in the scene, or a later scene that only involved Leslie, but it was very clear that this alternate version of Ryan was Barry’s enemy rather than an ally.
If you’re not familiar with Red Death, the original DC Comics version was among Bruce Wayne’s antagonistic versions of the Dark Multiverse that appeared in the Dark Knights: Metal an event. Coming from Earth -52, this version of Bruce, who was tired of losing so many allies in his war on crime, decided that he could make better use of The Flash’s super-speed to protect people. After taking the weapons belonging to the Flash’s Rogues, Bruce fought Barry Allen of Earth -52 and managed not only to defeat his former ally, but also to get them both into the Speed Force by merging the Batmobile with the treadmill. cosmic. . From there, Bruce absorbed both Barry’s powers and conscience, and now calling himself the Red Death, he began killing his own range of enemies and later teamed up with The Batman Who Laughs to save his world.
A long time the flash Fans will remember that the Red Death was mentioned in the Season 5 episode “Memorabilia” as an opponent that Barry Allen faced at some point in the future that left a high number of casualties in Central City. . Although Warren Christie appeared in bat twice as Tommy Elliot aka Hush impersonating Bruce Wayne and a subconscious manifestation of Bruce that Luke Fox saw when he was obviously unconscious the flash he decided to go a different path with his red death, which makes sense. Although Barry hasn’t been seen interacting with the current version of Ryan Wilder, he at least knows who he is, and perhaps they crossed paths after the events of “Armageddon”. Add to that the way Batwoman is Gotham City’s protector these days, and it makes sense that the Arrowverse has an alternate version of Ryan as Red Death instead.
Javicia Leslie’s return is one of the few things to expect the flash Season 9, with others including Bloodwork causing more trouble and a new Captain Boomerang on the scene. This final batch of episodes will begin airing on The CW in early 2023, but for now, check out our 2022 TV show to see what programming stays on air this year.
