Batwoman hero returns as lesbian

Batwoman's new look has been
designed by artist Alex Ross

Comic book heroine Batwoman is to make a comeback as a "lipstick lesbian" who moonlights as a crime fighter, a DC Comics spokesman has confirmed.

Batwoman - real name Kathy Kane - will appear in 52, a year-long DC Comics publication that began this month.

In her latest incarnation, she is a rich socialite who has a romantic history with another 52 character, ex-police detective Renee Montoya.

52 will be published in the UK as a graphic novel by Titan Books in 2007.

The series is set in a world in which established superheroes like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman no longer play a part.

Reinvention
The new-look Batwoman is just one of a wave of ethnically and sexually diverse characters entering the DC Comics universe.

Others include Mexican teenager Blue Beetle - who replaces the character's previous white incarnation - and the Great Ten, a government-sponsored team of Chinese superheroes.

Regular characters Firestorm and The Atom, meanwhile, have been reinvented as black and Asian heroes respectively.

The characters are part of a wider effort to broaden the make-up of comic-book creations in line with society as a whole.

Batwoman, who first appeared in July 1956, has not been seen since September 1979 when she was killed by the League of Assassins and the Bronze Tiger.

Probably doing anything to try and generate buzz about a boring product that was never a great selling product.

I always liked marvel better but there were a few DC comics I liked.

However I just never saw batwoman as a major comic or character that could live on it's own and that is probably why they are trying to generate some buzz or possibly hit another market with this idea.

Oh well, my comic book days are way behind me now anyways.

So I will leave you with an exclamation.

Holy BatMuffin.

We need to discuss the sexual tendancies of a make believe comic strip character?

Do they have sex ?

DC has just gone through a major revamp of their universe with the "INFINITE CRISIS" mini-series. Continuity, etc. tied up and made more streamline.

Never really liked any comic heros except for Batman...but a lipstick lesbian, Batwoman, might peak some interest.

You have to excuse his question, there aren't any "lipstick" straight women in West Virginia either.
