Batwoman Returns As a Lesbian!

From BBC News:
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.

What are all these new emotions? LOL
Anyway, I saw this on Yahoo and MSNBC. Pretty cool. Though, I'll have to admit at first I became confused and was thinking Catwoman instead of Batwoman. I "gots" to get my women straight. :) But anyway, I thought Catwoman, yeah! Michelle Pfeiffer! Sort of lost my mind there for a moment. But all systems are back now. It's Batwoman not Catwoman. You know, in my opinion, Catwoman could be a lesbian too.

RJ, I thought you wouldn't want your women straight! *giggle
Definitely! I've never been into comics, but I will be checking out the new ones for sure!
I love all these "new" characters coming up. Thanks for the update. :-)
LOLOL I think Batgirl grew up and decided to play for the right team! ;-)
Haaaa! Me too!
You know, Halle Berry played Catwoman on the big screen. I know several of us here would LOVE it if she came back as a lesbian!
Good to see ya here, BF!
