I don't trust the return of Batwoman by DC Comics. I suspect that her character will be written as lesbian in order to titillate male audience members, rather than to introduce a woman who is not heterosexual. Additionally, this doesn't fit with Batwoman's historical story line at all - she is Batman's love interest. So did she ditch him and become a lesbian after things didn't work out in the happy Batfamily? Or is DC Comics retconning her past such that she meets Batman later and he wins her over?Oh, I've heard she's Jewish too (per unconfirmed sources). What that has to do with anything in DC comic's mind I don't know, but aren't there enough comic book heroes around to be diverse with that they don't have to cram all the diversity into one resurrected character? Next we know, Batwoman will probably end up being the descendant of Chinese railway workers from San Francisco and escaped African-American slaves from Ontario too. On her father's side.
It would have made far more sense, from a literature perspective, for Batman to come out of the closet. And then we could make more sense out of this Robin sidekick thing too.
And if they want diversity, why not do more with Green Lantern? Heck, he could run for president. Unless that's been done before.
That said, I like the boots. Are those acrylic heels?
