Perez Hilton reported on this a few days back. How her sexuality makes her a controversial character is beyond me, i just hope that's not all that's focused on with her. Make it more, "btw, i'm a lesbian" instead of "I Like girls!"

I think it was first announced at NYCC.  Babs must have forgotten to tell us.

Perez Hilton's opinion doesn't count

It's just ridiculous that it's even remotely an issue.  I mean wasn't it in 1992 when Marvel announced Northstar's preference?  That was freakin' 17 years ago!  Of course Marvel had to make him look all angry about it.  Maybe the intention was that he was yelling out to the world?

IT WAS THE ARTICLE!
Free from his opinion!

I think it may be "controversial" because they may be accused of trying to line their pockets by giving a lesbian character her own series, which obviously get horny, lonely comic fans picking up the comic every month hoping to see some lesbian action, or anything that could be considered as such.

Fan 1: Did you see the way they looked at each other?!
Fan 2: Yeah, totally hot!

lol. Anyway, is DC having it's own "Secret Invasion"? But instead of the heroes getting replaced by Skrulls, they're getting replaced by lesbians. First Question, and now Batman.

The sad thing is, there are still people that would get 'offended' for some strange reason.

To be fair with DC about being hesistant they intended to make her big ever since Rucka was on the works of her on 52, that the media made a big deal out of it kinda ruined that, which is stupid.

The sexual orientation of a character is as important as her race..so nothing

let's hope Greg and Williams III Make something good outta this, i'd like to see Batwoman in action (vigilante-related, no girl on girl you pervs! LMAO) In the gutters of Gotham City.

I personally think giving her this series is a mistake. But what do I know. DC seems to think that Detective will continue to be one of the highest selling books in the DCU even with Batwoman as the headliner; but I think there are better ways of introducing Batwoman into the mainstream without giving her her own book.

However, Im interested in seeing her backstory..

"let's hope Greg and Williams III Make something good outta this, i'd like to see Batwoman in action (vigilante-related, no girl on girl you pervs! LMAO) In the gutters of Gotham City."

I don't know enough about her to make a sound judgment call..

I personally can't wait.

There are clues to this, and many other elements in the 'Battle for the Cowl' 2-page ad that has been running for the last 2 months or so.  Batwoman was in the background, but holding a magnifying glass.  This indicates she will be playing the detective role for the duration of the 'Battle' storyline.
