Batman’s Death Gives Batwoman Life!
February 28, 2009
Over at DC Comics, Batman’s much hyped, recent demise has left several of the Bat-titles with lead character vacancies. Lucky for us DC is taking the opportunity to let a certain seldom seen lesbian take the spotlight. Beginning in April, Kathy Kane AKA Batwoman, will take over as Detective Comics lead character with issue #854! Not only is DC finally giving us fans what we’ve been clamoring for since Batwoman’s reappearance in 2006, but DC has also brought on Greg Rucka to helm the series! Mr. Rucka is no stranger to Batwoman as he co-wrote her adventures back in ’06 during the 52 series! Rucka’s also no stranger to penning lesbian story-lines as he’s been showcasing Batwoman’s on-again off-again lady love, Renee Montoya (AKA The Question), most recently in Final Crisis: Revelations! J.H. Williams III is set to provide the fantabulous (as seen above) art!!! What else could a fanboy hope for? Maybe a pink bat-signal? I’ll keep my fingers crossed!
