Default Batwoman is now Lesbian

Batwoman hero returns as lesbian

Comic book heroine Batwoman is to make a comeback as a "lipstick lesbian" who moonlights as a crime fighter, a DC Comics spokesman has confirmed.
Batwoman - real name Kathy Kane - will appear in 52, a year-long DC Comics publication that began this month.

In her latest incarnation, she is a rich socialite who has a romantic history with another 52 character, ex-police detective Renee Montoya.

52 will be published in the UK as a graphic novel by Titan Books in 2007.

The series is set in a world in which established superheroes like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman no longer play a part.
-BBC
At least she won't be a dyke. But is this really necessary?

Is 'Kathy Kane" supposed to be a reference to Citizen Kane?

I dunno. Maybe ex-police detective Renee Montoya refers to Juan Pablo Montoya.

I mean, Bruce Wayne was a rich man who inherited millions from his father, like Charles Foster Kane, and Robin is a bit of a wild child, like Juan Pablo Montoya.

Now, get Batwoman and Renee Montoya into the picture, and it's really quite similar.

Seems about right. Batman and Robin were one of the first gay couples in TV.
