TV is getting its first lead lesbian superhero - If you don't like the show, it is because you're a homophobic anti-semite.

(CNN)"Batwoman" is coming to TV.

The CW is working on a series based on the popular DC Comics character, a source told CNN.
"Batwoman" is a superhero first created in 1956 by writer Edmond Hamilton. The fictional character was named Katherine Kane, a wealthy heiress who decides to fight crime in Gotham. She was also Batman's love interest.
The character disappeared from the comics in 1964 but was brought back more than 40 years later as Kate Kane, a Jewish lesbian. The character was the first lesbian superhero.
A source with knowledge of the series told CNN that the character will be fighting crime while also overcoming "her own demons." Caroline Dries is the executive producer and writer, alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Geoff Johns, who will also be executive producers.
Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television is set to produce. (CNN and Warner Bros. share parent company Warner Media.)
The show is expected to premiere sometime in 2019.

How much are we betting jewish lesbian is basically going to be her entire character.

What's with the amount of jewish lesbians crammed into media. Is this a new LGB stereotype?

Jews finally getting their foot in the door of the American media. And about time too.

Batwoman! A counterpart to Batman in no manner whatsoever!! Just as it was intended!!!

Okay, watching Batman get cucked by lesbians could be funny though.

 

[JuanLee]

Disappointed xe's not trans. Smack of the patriarchy's residual transphobia.

Silhouette from Watchmen was a lesbian before Batwoman was. They need to quit this first lesbian superhero bullshit.

Didn't you know anything that isn't a cishet white male is always a first and always will be.

 

[CatParty]

you mooks do know she's canon lesbian right? or do you just like being outraged?

 

[vhstape]

Fuck this shit, when's Detective Chimp getting his own show

 

[Wärring Ornac]

I didn't remember much from her comic, but I do remember one of the then-popular and well-received writer of her New-52 run got fuck over by DC and had the ongoing run cancelled mid-arc

Its leftover salt from Black Panther being declared the first black superhero movie.

Its not even the first Marvel movie with a black superhero, which would be Blade. Ironically, the only reason that got made was because Wesley Snipes couldn't get a Black Panther movie done in the 90s. Which I'd love to see, a 90's era Black Panther would be the kind of awful that draws you in like a train wreck.

Anyway, I'm sure that this isn't the first lesbian superhero or lesbian superhero movie but I don't give a fuck about lesbians so hell if I know. I'm sure some comic autist will be in shortly with a full listing.

This is fine. Who cares if some superhero (which are mostly for children) wants to rub vages with another woman? It's a show aimed at adults.

Batwoman! A counterpart to Batman in no manner whatsoever!! Just as it was intended!!!

She's a counterpart alright, just for the fairer sex.

Frankly, I hope they bring in the satanic (not really, but that's just splitting hairs) cult that wanted to sacrifice Kate because of her last name. Mostly because I enjoy lurid trash, but also because the words "Crime Bible" need to be said on national TV.

Comics are for nerds tho

 

[NumberingYourState]

That's the thing: No one should care. Did anyone care Jimmy Hopkins was bi?

Not even the media pundits who are paid under the table to claim they have any interest in the series.

It's not a real talking point in promoting the IP.

 

[MemeGray]

I hope the first villain is a Mike pence esque character that turns her straight.

This but unironically

 

[Positron]

I don't mind at all if it is something like The Ambiguously Gay Duo.

 

[DietCherry]

To be honest I don’t care if the superhero is trans or gay or black or white or whatever, I’m just tired of superhero movies and tv shows. They’re all the same.
