While Bat-fans debated who should take over Detective Comics, writer Greg Rucka and artist J.H. Williams III announced that this summer, DC’s flagship title will feature its first lesbian superhero: Batwoman.
Rucka said that he and Williams have been working on the title for almost two years.
Batwoman returned to the stable of superheroes - after 30 years - in 2006 DC’s 52. We learned that her identity is Kate Kane, a lesbian socialite, and that she has a past with Renee Montoya, a lesbian former police detective also featured in 52.
Damn. of course her name is KATE. anyway, i'm ver excited.
