I just want her to kill all the bad guys/girls with lots of blood and guts... ;D Wrong comic book publishing company. What you're looking for is Marvel's The Punisher.

What annoys me the most about this, is that the news has done like three news program they keep saying ‘Batgirl comes out of the closet’. Neither Babs nor Cas are gay. It’s freaking Batwoman not Batgirl.
Sure they killed Cassie’s character to bring Batwoman into the world but that doesn’t make it where they can call her Batgirl. And you think a reporter would research these things a tiny bit more.

LOL. That is funny!
I think it's unfortunate that Marvel and DC have to reinvent their established characters. So far, most reinventions I've read have failed because they try to use a gimmick, not a substantial change in personality or environment or reltionships, etc. One reinvention that is working for me is Exiles. I've heard most of the Ultimate titles are good as well. But then there are things like the Marvel Mangaverse that are just utter garbage. And now a lesbian Batwoman. They couldn't find anything else more important to change to make her character new and interesting?!
*sigh* I just hope it's over quickly and doesn't leave a lasting impression on anyone.

I personally have no issue with the who gay thing.. I like reena and i liked rainmaker and i like reading manga which has tons of gay girls in it. My issue is that playing her off being intrestiing cause she a gay and not seeing a story yet..
Then add the whole she the reason my favor lost her book and getting trash in robin.. well can care less about her..

To me, it's just a fashion to make such characters differently oriented.
I mean - there has been homosexuality throughout all history of humans, but in some cultures it was rather suppressed, whereas in others nnot.
To me, it's as if one would revveal that a character is in fact a Communist, whereas during the McCarthy era this had to be kept secret.

Lol! Thanks for the chuckle! I'm interested to see if Batwoman marches around with her sexuality on her sleeve or if it is non-issue for her as well. What bugs me mildly is how many people in the media are mixing her up with Batgirl. (As mentioned before.) One radio host I was listening to even refered to the "new lesbian Batgirl with her trademark red hair".

Spider-Man was created by Stan Lee and John Romita. John Byrne created Superman. The list goes on and on. As far as mainstream media coverage of comics go, mistaking Batwoman for Batgirl seems kinda quaint.

Yes, a lesbian Batwoman is making media headlines and I am very happy that 52 is already in my pull. But once the sensationalism is gone, I really hope that Batwoman is a decent character with potential.

Hard to tell so far, Rodney. I don't think we see enough of the new Batwoman to really get inside her head. She's more of a support to Renee Montoya than a character in her own right, yet.
I like the 'Bat-staff' she uses, but gadgets do not the character make. I'd say it was an OK debut, but she definitely needs more screen time. If they put the same amount of work into her as they have into Renee she'll be great, but that's conjecture right now.
