  • Batwoman (originally referred to as the Bat-Woman) is a fictional character and female counterpart to the superhero Batman, created by Bob Kane and Sheldon Moldoff. This character appears in publications produced by DC Comics and related media. Batwoman made her first comic book appearance in Detective Comics #233 (1956). Originally named Kathy Kane, the character was introduced as a love interest for Batman to disprove allegations of homosexuality in response to the backlash from the book Seduction of the Innocent (1954). Although Batwoman made a number of appearances during the late 1950s and early 1960s, declining sales of both Batman and Detective Comics led to the editorial retirement of the character. When Julius Schwartz became editor of the Batman related comic books in 1964, he removed non-essential characters including Batwoman, Bat-Girl, Bat-Mite and Bat-Hound. In 1979, Kathy Kane is killed. Later, the 1985 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths retroactively establishes that Batwoman has never existed, though a few subsequent stories would imply that Kathy still existed as simply a deceased friend of Bruce Wayne's. The modern incarnation of Batwoman, Kate Kane, first appears in week 7 of the maxi-series 52 (2006), operating in Gotham City during Batman's absence following the events of the seven issue miniseries Infinite Crisis (2005). The modern Batwoman is written as being of Jewish descent and as a lesbian in an effort by DC editorial staff to diversify its publications and better connect to modern day readership. Batwoman's sexual orientation has been both criticized and praised by the general public and the character has been described as the highest profile gay character to appear in stories produced by DC Comics.

  • Batwoman é uma super-heroína que apareceu no longa-metragem animado '. BATWOMAN NOME: KATHY KANE Também conhecida no Brasil como Batmulher e Mulher-Morcego Em 1956 aparecia, em uma história do Homem-Morcego, Kathy Kane (batizada em homenagem ao criador do Batman, Bob Kane), uma ex-acrobata de circo que, ao ficar rica, decidiu combater o crime adotando o nome de Batwoman. Embora supostamente tenha se aposentado ao final de sua primeira história, ela deve ter conquistado alguma popularidade, pois voltou a aparecer nas histórias do Batman até 1964. Sua sobrinha e parceira adolescente, Betty Kane, uma versão feminina do Robin, apareceu pela primeira vez como Batmoça em abril de 1961. As duas heroínas desapareceram quando Julius Schwartz assumiu as rédeas editoriais das duas revistas do morcego nos EUA, Batman e Detective Comics, em 1964. No filme Artistas e Modelos de 1955 surge pela primeira vez uma Mulher-Morcego (Batwoman), e foi essa personagem que serviu de inspiração para a personagem que viria ser Kathy Kane. Em 2006 a DC Comics está trazendo novamente a Batwoman na forma de Kathy “Kate” Kane. O nome é uma clara homenagem à Batwoman da Era de Prata.
