The 31-year-old actress made an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about her CW series.
Javicia dished on doing her own stunts and even revealed they have to film the stunt scenes a couple of times because she gets too giddy and laughs.
“Now, we go into these stunts an they have to do two takes. They have to do one take where they know I’m going to break and laugh, and smile, and then they’ll do another take where I’ll actually try to take it serious and be in character,” she told Ellen.
“This Sunday’s episodes, I get to pretty much skydive. So I really want you guys to see it, it’s going to be really dope,” she teased up about the upcoming episode.

Though there’s no new episode of Batwoman tonight (March 7), we still got to see star Javicia Leslie!
The actress made an appearance as a presenter at the 2021 Critics’ Choice Awards, which took place of the regular Sunday night programming on The CW.
Also appearing during the telecast were Superman & Lois stars Tyler Hoechlin and Bitsie Tulloch.
“#Batwoman fans… we’re off tonight! Make sure you tune in to the Critics’ Choice Awards, you might see a familiar Bat,” Javicia shared on Twitter ahead of the ceremony.
If you missed the great news, Javicia isn’t going anywhere as Batwoman/Ryan Wilder as the show received an early season three renewal!
“Season 3 babyyyyy 🦇🦇🦇 I love y’all! #BatTeam #Batwoman,” she wrote on Instagram after the news was announced last month.
Speaking of renewals, Superman & Lois was just picked up for a second season, hours before the second episode aired!
It was also announced that Superman & Lois will be taking a small hiatus later this month…
Batwoman season two premieres TONIGHT (January 17) and there’s an all new person under the mask!
In case you forgot, Ruby Rose shockingly announced that she was stepping away from the series in May 2020, then, two months later, Javicia Leslie landed the role in July.
Javicia‘s role is a whole new character named Ryan Wilder, instead of just taking over as Kate Kane. Her casting makes history as she is the FIRST Black woman to play Batwoman!
Ryan Wilder is likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed. She’s also nothing like Kate Kane, the woman who wore the Batsuit before her. With no one in her life to keep her on track, Ryan spent years as a drug-runner, dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits. Today Ryan lives in her van with her plant.
A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat and could also kill you with her bare hands, Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. An out lesbian. Athletic. Raw. Passionate. Fallible. And very much not your stereotypical all-American hero.
Javicia recently opened up about her role in the show being much more than just her being cast.
You may most likely recognize Javicia from her role as Ali Finer in CBS’ God Friended Me. She’s also been in the BET series The Family Business, and the movie Always a Bridesmaid. Learn more about Javicia here!

Batwoman will air weekly at 8pm ET/PT on The CW!

Javicia Leslie is opening up about the impact of her being cast as the new Batwoman.
The 33-year-old actress is taking over the title role in the upcoming second season as the new character Ryan Wilder.
Javicia recently opened up about her being cast in the superhero role is an inspiration for others.
“Definitely, it went through my mind, a few times — a feeling like, ‘Did they make the right decision?’” she told TooFab. “I feel like everything happens for a reason and being Batwoman was bigger than me. Being Batwoman and me being in that role in general is such an inspiration for so many people and that makes it worth it. That makes every fear go away, because I know it inspires other people to make her purpose.”
She also dished on the responsibility attached to such a character as Batwoman.
“The responsibility I feel is to make sure I give everything and give my all and walk away everyday like I left everything on the table, not having any regrets at the end of the night about anything. Just knowing that I did everything. Me walking in that truth is enough,” Javicia said.
“I don’t think I have to prove anything, I think it’s just about making sure I give all of it and that way, there’s something to be proud of at the end of the day for myself,” she continued. “And if I’m proud of myself, then I think people that I represent will be proud of the work.”
Batwoman season two will premiere THIS Sunday (January 17) on The CW. Check out the episode synopsis here!
