Lesbian Superhero comes out of the closet

GUARD YOUR daughters closely. On Wednesday, Batwoman will come out as a lesbian. No, it's not as big a deal as if, say, Strawberry Shortcake were appearing on the cover of Out. Most people ? myself included ? don't really know who Batwoman is. But the media have been all over this for months, and I'd be remiss if I didn't jump on the bandwagon (make that the Subaru station wagon; I used to own one, so I'm allowed to say this).

Batwoman is turning up in a DC Comics' series called "52," which launched in May. Among the characters is Kathy Kane, a buxom, red-haired socialite with romantic ties to a female ex-cop. On Wednesday, when the much-anticipated (or at least much-hyped by DC Comics) issue of "52" is released, we will learn that Kane is really Batwoman.

I don't know if the new Batwoman will be bulletproof, elastic or able to fly, but if Kane's manicured appearance is any indication, I don't think she'll be using power tools or even playing acoustic guitar. So unless there's an abrupt character change, it looks like DC will steer clear of the stereotypes I've invoked in the preceding paragraphs.

Which is the most popular superhero that has come out of the closet? I think they only do this with "B list" comic book heroes like Northstar (Marvel)

thats a good thing i guess :)

Awesome news :)!

that could be a good issue
