Batwoman Stalks Gotham City

Monday Recs for December 26, 2016 - Batwoman

More Details:

You’re looking at almost everything here. Kate does not feature in all of 52. She plays a minor role among a cast of C and D-level heroes whose yarns twist and turn throughout the year long weekly. The entire thing is fabulous though, so you might as well do yourself a favor and read the whole thing. An exact listing of Kate’s appearances in it can be Googled if one wishes.

Greg Rucka then took Kate over to Detective Comics while he was also writing the continuing adventures of Renee Montoya as the new Question. A Batwoman solo series was teased over and over until a first issue finally came out. But then the New 52 happened and shot everything to shit.

Did Batwoman get a spot in the New 52 because her series was already planned? Because she’s a lesbian hero that DC can market well (especially with the Batfamily connection)? Who knows. Regardless, fans were happy. 

With Rucka gone, JH Williams was joined by co-writer Haden Blackman for a celebrated 24 issue run. It was supposed to stretch much longer. However, a hiccup arose when Blackman and Williams wanted Kate to get married to girlfriend Maggie Sawyer. DC said no. It was never entirely clear to what extent DC was just taking a “no marriages, period” stance with their heroes or how much of it was possibly related to the same-sex nature of the hypothetical marriage. So the creative team walked.

Marc Andreyko was brought in to attempt to put things back together. He isn’t a terrible writer, with an earlier acclaimed female hero run under his belt with Manhunter. He even brought in some supernatural elements and fun guest stars to try and establish a unique direction and bring people back on board. However, people stayed annoyed from the controversy and Andreyko’s writing wasn’t fully clicking. He wrote the book until its cancellation with issue 40, but no one cared.

Kate has since seen an increased profile in Rebirth. She is pretty much the lead in Detective Comics, and that book spun off her own solo which is early on but has a great team on it. Hopefully she has many more adventures to show fans.
