    Batwoman was originally created so that people would stop thinking Batman was gay, and now she's a lesbian. Does anyone else see the Irony in this or is it just me?

    I don't really find it ironic. Is that actually the same Batwoman?

    Cool irony...
    There is nothing bad about being gay or lesbian, but you are a monster if you are pedophile...

    I know, I was trying to say a joke, I mean,  there is nothing wrong with Batman about being gay, but is a bad thing being a pedophile (relationship with Robin, he is the "wonder boy")... got it?
