Batwoman returns as a Lesbian
Besides the obvious idiocy of PC pandering you have to wonder if this is a move to increase female readership or male voyeur readership.
A long-dead DC Comics heroine is coming back to life.Either way sexploitation finds it's way into yet another childhood venue.Batwoman, who was killed by the League of Assassins and the Bronze Tiger in 1979 after a 23-year run, is making a comeback with some startling changes to her persona.
Batwoman...real name Kathy Kane...is scheduled to appear in 52, a year-long DC Comics publication that made its debut this month.
In her new incarnation, Batwoman is a "lipstick lesbian," a rich socialite who has a romantic history with another 52 character, former police detective Renee Montoya.

It's "sexploitation" for her to be a lesbian, but wouldn't be if it was a straight couple, like Spider-man and Mary Jane, or Superman and Lois Lane?
