A TV adaptation of Batwoman is to become the first live-action superhero series with an openly gay lead character.
The show is being developed for the US channel, the CW, adding to the network's collection of shows based on DC comics characters.
Batwoman was introduced in the 1950s as a love interest for Batman to dispel rumours of his own homosexuality.
The character was reintroduced in 2006 as a gay woman called Kate Kane.
She has since become the highest-profile openly gay character of any DC comic.
The show's synopsis describes Kate Kane as an "out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city's criminal resurgence".
It says she is "armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind".
However, she must "overcome her own demons" before emerging as a hero in Gotham City.

Sounds reasoned to me.
And there’s always the fall-back, “Because I said so, that’s why!”
Hey, it worked when I was growing up. Why not?
Ronald Reagan actually defended the first Bonzo film based on a scientist raising a monkey in a home environment. He stepped away from the hack job corny sequel
A story of the Marines on Tarawa:
"Two Japanese tanks were approaching the beach - head. The Marine guns were too low to fire over the wall . "Lift them over;' came the cry from a hundred throats, "LIFT THEM OVER!" Willing hands hoisted the 900-pound guns atop thewall . The gunners coolly loaded, aimed, and fired, knocking out one tank at close range, chasing off the other. There were hoarse cheers."
Yeah, women can do that. /s/
I confused Bonzo with the Reagan movie. The super monkey comic character was Beppo.
Everything they can possibly do to destroy America’s strength. Cant have their New World Order dictatorship over a Moral and Just people.
So they burn down the house.
And any agent or manager even thinking of submitting their heterosexual clients better think twice. After the Scarlett Johansson debacle, no straights allowed for this role.
Batwoman was not a love interest of Batman in the original series. Robin did have a crush on her, though.
Everything is so gay.

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t they make Supergirl’s character gay in the Supergirl tv show or am I thinking of another character?
Lesbians, really? So 1990s. Wanna be trendy? Lesbian and trans woman having heterosexual sex. That will send lesbians up the wall.
Gotta set up my gofundme page. Who’s in?
The kids are their target audience. This called recruiting.
Whoa.
He proposed to Catwoman just last year.
Superman has Lois Lane, but they don’t go beyond looking into each other’s eyes
Superman married Lois in 1996, and they have a son who is 10 years old.
Peter Parker and Spiderman like Mary Jane, but they are usually too shy/awkward to do much about that attraction.
They were married in 1987.
Supergirl's adopted sister is gay, not Supergirl herself.
What do you call a lesbian dinosaur?
A Lickalotopus.
Shows are horrific. The women dress like homeless men and beat up twelve guys at a time. Another thing they do is have the male heroes getting their faces pummeled. Not only do the female heroines not lose, they rarely get hit. And Barry Allen sits and cries on the Flash.
“A woman incapable of not making love to a man isn’t normal.”
Read that sentence again, I don’t think it means what you seem to think it means.
