At long last, the Arrowverse comes to Gotham City. This year’s big crossover between Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl will introduce Batwoman (Ruby Rose), a cape-and-cowled crimefighter who also happens to be a lesbian. Although characters have been calling themselves Batwoman since the ‘50s, the Kate Kane version of the character was more recently introduced in the pages of DC’s 2006 weekly comic 52, which told the story of a “lost year” in the DC universe. With Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman out of commission for 12 months, other heroes had to step up. Batwoman was one of them, but the sheer breadth of characters in 52 will probably entertain any fan of the Arrowverse’s jam-packed crossovers.
Years after 52, Batwoman finally got her own self-titled solo series in the wake of DC Rebirth, written by Marguerite Bennett and James Tynion IV with art by Steve Epting. Much like how 52 told the story of a “lost year” for DC’s Big Three, the first arc of this new Batwoman series found Kate returning to the pirate island of Coryana, where she once spent her own “lost year” with a mysterious woman named Safiyah… — Christian Holub
