Batwoman Takes Over Detective Comics

Batwoman finally comes out...of the shadows and into the spotlight.

Batwoman is finally coming out...of obscurity and taking over Detective Comics with April's issue #854.  This is great.  There really hasn't been much action with Batwoman since her debut.  The fact that she'll be taking over Detective Comics (even if it's just temporary) makes me even happier.  She deserves a high profile comic like that. 

It's funny, last week, I saw a video from ABC News (I believe) and it sounded like they had no idea that Batwoman was a lesbian character.  I thought this was all over the news when she first came on the scene in "52."

Batwoman's story arc will be written by her 'creator' Greg Rucka and illustrated by J.H. Williams III.  According to Atomic Comics, DC has been hesitant to giving Batwoman her own series since she's controversial "solely because of her sexual orientation."  Give me a break.  What Century are we in?

I know this has already been announced.  I try to avoid the advanced solicits because I like to be surprised when possible.  For those, like me that hadn't heard, here ya go.  Plus, Kate deserves to be in the news.
