Batwoman: Lesbian comic hero to get TV series
BBC News ^ | June 17th 2018 | BBC News

Posted on 07/17/2018 6:30:05 PM PDT by Ennis85

A TV adaptation of Batwoman is to become the first live-action superhero series with an openly gay lead character.

The show is being developed for the US channel, the CW, adding to the network's collection of shows based on DC comics characters.

Batwoman was introduced in the 1950s as a love interest for Batman to dispel rumours of his own homosexuality.

The character was reintroduced in 2006 as a gay woman called Kate Kane.

She has since become the highest-profile openly gay character of any DC comic.

The show's synopsis describes Kate Kane as an "out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city's criminal resurgence".

It says she is "armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind".

However, she must "overcome her own demons" before emerging as a hero in Gotham City.

Actual data reveals that about 75-80% of lesbians are significantly obese. There are exceptions, usually among college students, but the big picture is not pretty. Damn few cat women among them.

I think you have one too many negatives in that sentence.

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t they make Supergirl’s character gay in the Supergirl tv show or am I thinking of another character?

I may be wrong, but I do recall abruptly dropping Supergirl from my viewing list.

The only certain thing that will cause me to do that, is the introduction of overt or covert perversion on TV as entertainment.

Like the fat chick on Madame Secretary with half a haircut...

Agreed, the comic book Batman was never suspected of being gay. Were we niave?

Only with Adam West’s TV portrayal did we begin to raise eyebrows.

I am glad my comic book or super heroes in my era were busy fighting crime that being involved with Gender issues...

Actually, Frederick Wertham's bestselling book of 1950's "Seduction of the Innocent", which attacked comic books of the time, argued exactly that.

Gag me with a maggot. I was going to burn my old DC comics but I think I’ll save them for my grandchildren so that they can see what a real comic book looked like, not the fake comics of today.

Gee, a gay BAT. That would go over great in baseball!

Enough already with parading the homo — please take a break and STFU.

No wonder God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

To put it mildly, I may not have kept up with comics since the 1960s.
