Lesbian Batwoman in comic book comeback
Holy Cow! Batwoman is set to make a comic book comeback as a red-headed lesbian crime fighter.
DC Comics are to reintroduce the sexy superhero in at least 12 issues after apparently killing off Bruce Wayne and Batman last year.
Bosses say Batwoman - alter ego Kathy Kane - is "a lesbian socialite by night and a crime-fighter by later in the night."
While they outed her in a story in 2006 as a former lover of Gotham City police detective Renee Montoya this is the first time she will have featured heavily in the comics.
Wearing a skintight suit with red boots she will be the DC's first openly gay superhero ... baring in mind the average superhero outfit I think the word 'openly' is key here.
Batwoman was first introduced in 1956 as a love interest for Batman and has made several appearances in the DC comics.
Gay and Lesbian groups have praised DC for diversifying their characters.
