New incarnation of Batwoman
From the Associated Press
Years after she first emerged from the Batcave, Batwoman is coming out of the closet.
DC Comics is resurrecting the classic comic book character as a lesbian, unveiling the new Batwoman with flowing red hair and spiked heels in July as part of an ongoing weekly series that began this year.
“We decided to give her a different point of view,” explained Dan DiDio, vice president and executive editor at DC. The original Batwoman was started in 1956, and killed off in 1979.
