Reality TV World wrote:DC Comics to debut new lesbian Batwoman comic book character
UPI News Service, 05/31/2006
New York's DC Comics is reintroducing Batwoman -- as a lesbian.
DC is putting a twist on the super heroine to further diversify its comic line and put a new spark to its franchise, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday.
"We deal with stories about identities and secret identities," DC Comics Vice President/Executive Editor Dan DiDio told the Daily News. "And we think that a character who is openly gay, yet keeps it a secret from certain members of her own family, has a lot of strong emotional layers."
Some debate has already started on the Internet about whether the character change will be good or bad for Batwoman.
"Unless she has lesbian superpowers ... it really doesn't change her character except the soap opera value," former DC Comics illustrator Jimmy Palmiotti said.

I think it is a good thing, the more diversity thats out there the more it is accepted as an usual thing.

Can throw a baseball harder than Roger Clemens.
Can change flannel shirts in under 1 second.
Can pee her name in the snow.
ANd what a completely and utterly contrived concept. How artificial.

I wonder if she'll have an anti-gay nemesis?
They should also admit Robin, the boy wonder, is gay. I mean its so obvious! He really needs to be outed.

You mean like an Anita Bryant super-hero? Jerry Falwell in a cape and tights? (ewg) Pat RObertson in a head mask?
