Batwoman is a lesbian
Batwoman Is Back as a Lesbian
By LARRY McSHANE

AP/DC Comics
"We wanted to make her a more unique personality than others in the Bat-family," explained a VP at DC Comics on Batwoman's new direction.

Batwoman a Lipstick Lesbian?

Talk: Post Thoughts

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW YORK (May 31) - Years after she first emerged from the Batcave, Batwoman is coming out of the closet. DC Comics is resurrecting the classic comic book character as a lesbian, unveiling the new Batwoman in July as part of an ongoing weekly series that began this year.


The 5-foot-10 superhero comes with flowing red hair, knee-high red boots with spiked heels, and a form-fitting black outfit.


"We decided to give her a different point of view," explained Dan DiDio, vice president and executive editor at DC. "We wanted to make her a more unique personality than others in the Bat-family. That's one of the reasons we went in this direction."


The original Batwoman was started in 1956, and killed off in 1979. The new character will share the same name as her original alter ego, Kathy Kane. And the new Batwoman arrives with ties to others in the Gotham City world.


"She's a socialite from Gotham high society," DiDio said. "She has some past connection with Bruce Wayne. And she's also had a past love affair with one of our lead characters, Renee Montoya."


Montoya, in the "52" comic book series, is a former police detective. Wayne, of course, is Batman's true identity - but he has disappeared, along with Superman and Wonder Woman, leaving Gotham a more dangerous place.


The "52" series is a collaboration of four acclaimed writers, with one episode per week for one year. The comics will introduce other diverse characters as the story plays out.


"This is not just about having a gay character," DiDio said. "We're trying for overall diversity in the DC universe. We have strong African-American, Hispanic and Asian characters. We're trying to get a better cross-section of our readership and the world."


The outing of Batwoman created a furor of opinions on Web sites devoted to DC Comics. Opinions ranged from outrage to approval. Others took a more tongue-in-cheek approach to the announcement.


"Wouldn't ugly people as heroes be more groundbreaking?" asked one poster. "You know, 200-pound woman, man with horseshoe hair loss pattern, people with cold sores, etc.?"


DiDio asked that people wait until the new Batwoman's appearance in the series before they pass judgment.


"You know what? Judge us by the story and character we create," he said. "We are confident that we are telling a great story with a strong, complex character."


DiDio spent most of the morning fielding phone calls from media intrigued by the Batwoman reinvention.


"It's kind of weird," he said. "We had a feeling it would attract some attention, but we're a little surprised it did this much."

I don't like them altering our superheroes as we've come to know and love them for a social/political agenda. Come up with a new LGBTQ superhero and let's see how that goes.

When she was told that they were also taking the show to Batwoman being a Lipstick Lesbian, she said, "No way! My lips don't touch lipstick!"

Nobody knew and loved Batwoman before this*. The original Batwoman was trivia answer of a character that appeared in a handful of comics in the 50s and 60s. You might be thinking of Batgirl who is a completely different character.

*By "this" I mean the reimagining of her character in the comics. The Rucka/Williams run was awesome, with some of the best comic book art, and I don't say this lightly, of all time. I have no idea if the show is any good.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall in some of the pitch meetings for this, with the studio heads/writers etc.

Just so I can hear people in the room say things like, "I think we have a winner, here" or "Wow I like that idea, people are going to love that".

What kind of imbecile signs off on something like this, or an all female ghostbusters cast, or thinks Spiderman with a gay bf is a good idea?

It's pretty obvious that something like this is nothing more than deranged liberal agenda driven BS, rather than actually trying to be a successful show. Nobody wants to watch this crap.

Injury and a lot of fans hated her. But I quit watching dc shows a couple of years ago, so I am just going off of hearsay.

I wouldn't say her specifically, but everything about the program and how it was supported by the CW despite the ratings.

You mean critical ratings? In terms of viewership it's doing relatively well. It was CW's third highest rated show this year, after Flash and Supernatural.
