Originally introduced in the 1950s, Batwoman has gone from a forgotten character to one who is a queer icon and headlined her own TV series. Kate and Kathy Kane are very distinct characters, and this week, we’ll be reading stories featuring them both, thanks to a request from Sam Hopper. We see Kathy meet Bat-Mite, Kate’s first solo outing and James Tynion IV’s run on Detective Comics begin in a story that not just features Kate but Tim Drake, so we all know Matt has feelings about that one.
- Batwoman’s Publicity Agent (Batman V.1 #133)
- Elegy (Detective Comics V.1 #854-857)
- Rise of the Batmen (Detective Comics V.3 #934-940)

Matt Lazorwitz read his first comic at the age of five. It was Who's Who in the DC Universe #2, featuring characters whose names begin with B, which explains so much about his Batman obsession. He writes about comics he loves, and co-hosts the creator interview podcast WMQ&A with Dan Grote.
