	NEWSARAMA.COM: KATHY KANE: THE FIRST BATWOMAN
		Batwoman, again in a minor role, attempts to capture the Cat-Man in Detective Comics #311, 1963, "The Challenge of The Cat-Man". She gets tied up by the Cat-Man who falls in love with her. Batman arrives and thanks Batwoman for delaying him but the feline crook becomes smitten with the girl gangbuster.
		Batwoman became a team player in this story using her fists to battle the aliens. A red bat-symbol was now a part of her uniform, appearing across her breasts.
		The Batwoman is still a well-remembered character to this day as reprints of her older stories continue to be published. Though lumped in with the goofy days of Batman's adventures, she proved she could hold her own and save the life of her male counterpart and his sidekick.

	Batwoman
		Batwoman, or (less commonly) Bat-Woman, is the name of a fictional character, the female counterpart to DC Comics' popular superhero Batman.
		In 1964, Batwoman, as well as Bat-Girl, Ace the Bat-Hound, and Bat-Mite were dropped from the Batman titles, which were undergoing a revamp by editor Julius Schwartz that eliminated elements that were considered too "silly".
		Batwoman was referenced in Planet Krypton, an issue within the Kingdom miniseries; this appears to be her only mention in any post-Crisis comic.

	Out In The Mountains : A+E - Batwoman is Back!
		The new Batwoman is part of a 52-week comic book series that DC Comics is using to introduce more multicultural characters including Asians and Latinos.
		This special issue of Batwoman appears to be a trial balloon to determine if there is enough reader interest to reintroduce her as a regular comic hero, a sort of female version of Batman, who never disappeared from the bookstore shelves.
		The depiction of Batwoman as a lesbian does speak to growing acceptance of gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people as heroes now appearing in films and television shows as well as in comic books.

		The character of Kate Kane, aka Batwoman, who hadn't been seen consistently in comic book pages since the mid-1960's, was returning in DC's latest, 52.
		Comic book fan opinions split down the middle, with some purists upset that the character seemed to be undergoing too drastic a re-write while other readers looked forward to the refreshing direction.
		The irony of all the talk about DC moving towards diversity with a lesbian Batwoman is that this character is one in a long line of lesbian characters in mainstream comics, and the fifth recent lesbian character in the Batman universe alone.

	Evil Avatar - Comic News: First Look at DC's New Batwoman (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In the X-Men thread I commented on stopping the madness regarding a lesbian Batwoman, but at that time I thought it was a re-inventing of Barbara Gordon, not a new character (which I also said a few time would be preferable WRT gay superheroes).
		Batwoman is awesome, but having a reference to her lifestyle (meaning beating it over our heads) in every panel (heck, every issue) will turn me away.
		The original Batwoman was created in response to Seduction of the Innocent, a book that theorized, among other things, that Batman and Robin were "The wishdreams of a homosexual".

		The newest incarnation of Batwoman - a rarely seen DC Comics character - will be a lesbian, and her new sexual orientation has provoked heated debate among faithful comic book readers.
		The decision to turn Kathy Kane, Batwoman's alter ego, into a buxom 5-foot-10 lesbian socialite was reached as part of DC Comics' push to diversify its characters and reinvigorate its decades-old comic book franchise.
		Batwoman was introduced in 1956 as a member of BatFamily - that, at times, has included Batgirl and a Bat hound - but she was unceremoniously killed off in 1979.

	FakeHandbags v3.0: 752: Batwoman comes out.
		Batwoman won't become the face of lesbianism because Batwoman isn't a living person, of course, but that doesn't mean she won't come to symbolize a male fantasy about women who love women -- particularly in an industry so heavily populated by straight men.
		I doubt she'll have any more cultural weight than Xena, even if she shapes popular perception of what it means to be bi- or homosexual in a similar way, but it will be interesting to see how she's received and how DC handles her over time.
		Introducing a lesbian Batwoman shouldn't be even remotely ground-breaking (as someone mentioned in the article suggests, it would be more groud-breaking to have an ugly character), when you think about it.
