Yeah, the new Batwoman who made her debut waaay back in 2006 is gay. And it got attention from mainstream media as well. Like others have said, this isnt the original Batwoman that first appeared in the late 1950s/early 1960s. Totally different character. Which is just as well, since DC really havent done much with her.
Batwoman is gay.
- Thread starter hiropro
- Start date
Wasn't she announced as being gay back in 2006? Why is this just now coming out all of sudden.

Sensationalism and political correctness.
What has Northstar done since he was outed as a homosexual?
Nothing, that's what.
translation = man-hating bull-dyke.
You have just given me an idea for something to do on Friday! Thanks BB! :hatsoff:
:rofl2:
Yup. Debut was in 2006. Was revealed as Gay in 2006. And Post-2006 ... hasnt done much since. Other than everytime she appears in a comic book, "Lesbian" is either thought of, or (perhaps in some occurances) said out loud by fanboys.
I just think it's ridiculous that her being gay is all of sudden news. It's not like there haven't been gay comic book characters before. Northstar is one and Colossus in Ultimate X-Men is another. As long as the story is good I don't care if she's in love with a turtle.
Is Batwoman being gay really news though? Sure, it was in 2006.
But now? Not really.
I think she's getting press now because she's taking over as lead character for the next year in "Detective Comics" while Batman "gets better" from being dead.
I think DC is actually going to do something along those lines fairly soon.

You know you make a great point.
That last sentence of his alone would make him better than half the professional comic writers out there. It's kind of sad really.

Thanks :hatsoff:
I have thought about writing comics. I do have many of my own characters.
Also, a few possible storylines to go with them.
I already mentioned Northstar. He's done much of nothing sense he "came out." It was all for shock value and to boost sales.

Sorry missed that post...:o
I just don't see any big deal about Batwoman/Kathy Kane being a lesbian....:dunno:

It's just shock value and to boost sales. Seems the sales part didn't work.
It also adds nothing to the story.
You don't want to see her in some hot lesbian action with Cat Woman?
:1orglaughWhat would be more interesting is if they made Batman gay (have they done that already? I have no idea...) he and Robin could have hot anal sex for 7 to 10 pages, and the publishers could freak out a whole bunch of teenagers.
Yes, they would probably get sued by the "Christians against homosexuality in art", but think of the children, wont somebody please think of the children!!!

They would be sued for corruption of minors.
Unless this was a story in a Vertigo comic with a warning on the cover.
Would DC taint Batman for a cheap joke? They make too much money from Batman.
