Yes this is great and all, and yes I think it’s a good idea increasing diversity in all media, but is this really big news? I read about this in the Independant this morning and was slightly surprised. Perhaps it was a slow news day or maybe other people find this more shocking or surprising than I find it.
Lesbian? Big deal.
Fifty years after she first graced the pages of a comic book, Batwoman is to return to the world of superheroes - as a lesbian socialite.
After an absence of almost 30 years and following months of feverish speculation among fans of the genre, Batwoman will make an appearance in the July issue of a comic called 52, produced by the legendary publishers DC Comics.
Her real identity is Kathy Kane, described as a “lesbian socialite by night and a crime fighter by later in the night.” Kathy Kane was also the name of the original Batwoman’s alter ego, created in 1956.
