Sometimes a social progeny reverse despoiler warnings . newspaper headline across the web have announced the news : In Batwoman # 17 , which come out yesterday , the superhero purport to her girlfriend . It ’s a first for DC comic . But is this too little , too tardy for the company that has outraged fans by hiringanti - cheery activist Orson Scott Cardas a writer ?
Kate Kane , wear out her Batwoman costume , proposed to her prospicient - clock time girl Maggie Sawyer in the issue ’s final board . It was a fresh moment , and one that ultimately catch DC up to Marvel ( whosesuperhero Northstar married his beau in May of 2012 ) and Archie ( whose eccentric Kevin Keller marry his fellow even earlier , in March ) .

While some fans may be confused at the lack of press DC gave the marriage offer , I ’d like to say it ’s a positive step forrad from the company , whose last maraud into promoting sexual equivalence in their comics was to make a week - long issue of “ WHICH MAJOR DC CHARACTER IS NOW GAY ? ! ” withthe answer eventually break as original Green Lantern Alan Scott , who ’s not only the fifth most popular human Green Lantern , but also does n’t even last in the mainstream DC universe of discourse ( he ’s on Earth-2 ) . relatively , Batwoman ’s engagement is simple-minded , tasteful , and presents itself as an event that should n’t be considered news because it is plainly normal .

While I ’d like to say this , I ca n’t , unfortunately , because I ’m 99 % sure the only reason DC has n’t advert Batwoman ’s marriage to the printing press is because it would call care to the furore get by the caller ’s late decision to rent Orson Scott Card , scifi author and ardent detractor of mirthful rights , to write Adventures of Superman . raging fans and retail merchant likewise are planning to boycott the Superman comic in general , and some DC in finicky unless Card is removed .
It ’s too early to tell if Batwoman ’s proposal will at all mitigate DC ’s public relation problems with Card , or even if Card might have a problem collecting a check from a company whose work seemingly condone gay marraige . But at the moment , at least Kate Kane and Maggie Sawyer are glad , even if nobody else is .
