Batwoman Update

I just realized the irony of making Batwoman gay. To fully appreciate this tidbit we have to step into the Wayback Machine, to beautiful, scenic 1953. Dr. Fredric Wertham, a developmental psychologist, has recently written a book entitled Seudction of the Innocent which basically lays all of society's ills at the feet of comic books. The pertinent quote:

Dr Wertham does accuse...Batman and Robin of being a homosexual wishdream, of a man and a boy living together.

In response DC Comics soon introduced Batwoman and Batgirl to Gotham City. While the two never moved into Wayne Manor, they were included in enough of the Dynamic Duo's adventures to ward off any further accusations of perversion. Eventually the furor died down and the two Batchicks faded into oblivion. The irony is delicious.
