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.

Time is not wasted in finding something you like to do. It's even better when you get someone to pay you for it! *L* Think of it this way, you're just trying to keep the moral up in the workplace. ;-) You and everybody else that's surfing the net right now! *L*

Thanks for giving me some justification for all the time I waste! Actually, being in the publications/graphics field, this little project gave me some good experience working in a graphics program I don't normally use. So, yeah, it's related, and I am getting paid for it! However, I won't be sharing this one with my boss! ;-)

As long as Catwoman is feminine - I'm buying a ticket. :)

OK, I guess I jumped the gun a little, there aren't going to be "volumes" of comics featuring her - she is only appearing in one book that came out this month.


I still want it. lol
