DC Comics Resurrects Batwoman As Lesbian

[NVMojo]

W YORK (AP) -

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 in July as part of an ongoing weekly series that began this year.

The 5-foot-10 superhero comes with flowing red hair, knee-high red boots with spiked heels, and a form-fitting black outfit.

"We decided to give her a different point of view," explained Dan DiDio, vice president and executive editor at DC. "We wanted to make her a more unique personality than others in the Bat-family. That's one of the reasons we went in this direction."

2. Cool. It's a deft turn of plot for Batwoman and is reinforced by

the aura of allure-and-mysteriousness already there.

Plus, it'll piss off Jim Dobson.

A win-win proposition all the way.

4. Too COOL! Love it when someone fucks with the right-wings stupid prejudice

and...I would ask, would you mind your own fucking business, bigots...As they always forget there other opinions and lifestyles in this world besides their own narrow conservative views...Then they are always the ones casting the first stones...and then exposed for their lying, greedy, perverted lives...

Now I'm not making judgements you understand.

7. If this makes just one wingnut angry, I support it 100 percent!!

8. it's great - heroes are heroic not because of who they boink

The plot's the thing and how the day was saved. Is the first thing people think about Superman when they see him is 1. He's straight 2. He's got superpowers and saves the world a lot. ???

So hopefully this character won't be too different. Batwoman: Super Lesbian. She saved the world. A lot.

That would be unfortunate.
