"Wouldn't ugly people as heroes be more groundbreaking?" asked one poster.
Didn't they try it with the Watchmen? ![]() |

yeah i agree, too |
Yes I heard about this. They are trying to get minority groups into comics. So they reincarnated (spelling) Batwoman and made her a lesbian. They're also bringing back several black superheroes from the dead. And a Mexican one or something. It really doesn't bother me. It's good I guess. Interesting.
I have no idea if what I just said was already in the link cuz I can't be bothered to read it. |
"Years after she first emerged from the Batcave, Batwoman is coming out of the closet." Hahaha, so stupid.
|
Shaka Moloch, isn't that a phot of Batgirl, not Batwoman?
|
Aren't they the same?
DC Comics suck! |
No, they are different people...And yeah, superhero comics are usually not that great. I LOVE Adrian Tomine's comics, though.

The Maxx has always been my favorite.

Lesbian Batwoman is DC Comics' first gay superhero
DC Comics have unveiled their first openly gay superhero - a sapphic socialite called Batwoman. By Caroline Hedley in Los Angeles ![]() The flame-haired lesbian crime-fighter is taking over from Bruce Wayne, who suffered an untimely demise in a recent issue of Detective Comics' longest-running series. For over 60 years, Wayne has fronted the iconic Batman publication. His apparent passing has paved the way for Batwoman - who is described as a "lesbian socialite by night and a crime-fighter by later in the night" - to take over the reigns for at least 12 issues in a run that begins this June. Writer Greg Rucka told the Comic Book Resources website that the introduction of a lesbian character into the DC roster was "long overdue". "We have been waiting to unlock her," he said. "Yes, she's a lesbian. She's also a redhead. It is an element of her character. It is not her character". He went on to dismiss fears of a possible backlash from fans. "If people are going to have problems with it, that's their issue", Rucka said. "That's certainly not mine." Batwoman - whose alter-ego is Katherine "Kate" Kane - was introduced into the DC character stable in 1956 as a love interest for the Dark Knight. Her appearance helped stifle persisting rumours about Batman's own sexuality. She was first 'outed' by her creators in 2006 as a former lover of Gotham City police detective Renee Montoya. She has made cameo appearances in the comic series, but her elevation to alpha superhero has been celebrated by gay rights groups. The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation praised DC for their efforts to diversify their characters. Writers have refused to confirm whether Batman may be reincarnated in a future issue, saying simply that he is "elsewhere". http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...superhero.html |
awesome.
|
wait... batmans dead? you figure that would've been more publicized. like when doomsday offed superman.
|
It's pretty sexist I think. It seems as if a women can't be a prominent superheroin without being "manly".
|
And relegating women to feminine roles isn't sexist?
Lesbianism itself isn't entirely feminine. |
psh, women superheroes? yeah right. unless her superpowers are having the ability to not give any lip and giving up that vag whenever i feel like hitting it
