NEW YORK — The homosexual agenda has reached even to mainstream comic books as the widely popular DC Comics announced it will introduce this summer a modern-day Batwoman who is a lesbian.
“We decided to give her a different point of view,” said Dan DiDio, vice president and executive editor at DC. “We wanted to make her a more unique personality than others in the Bat-family. That’s one of the reasons we went in this direction.”
Batwoman was a figure in the Gotham City storyline from 1956 to 1979, and now her 21st-century successor will have a love affair with a female former Gotham police detective, DC Comics said.
“This is not just about having a gay character,” DiDio said. “We’re trying for overall diversity in the DC universe. We have strong African-American, Hispanic and Asian characters. We’re trying to get a better cross-section of our readership and the world.” (TAB)
