BATWOMAN: The Caped Crusader Underwent A Shocking Status Quo Change During Last Night's Episode

No, we're not talking about what happened with Alice! Last night's Batwoman was the first post-Crisis episode and it led to Kate Kane making a major decision which will have a huge impact moving forward...

"Earth-Prime" is a very different place following the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths, and we started feeling that in a big way during last night's episodes of Batwoman and Supergirl

In the case of the former, Kate Kane made the shocking decision to reveal the truth about Batwoman's sexual orientation to Gotham City. The midseason premiere (written by showrunner Caroline Dries and titled "How Queer Everything Is Today!") saw the Dark Knight reveal that she's a lesbian after hearing about a teenager whose parents refused to accept her sexual identity. 

She decided to come out in the pages of CatCo and now that they live on the same world, it was Kara Danvers who penned the article revealing this key detail about Gotham City's Caped Crusader. 

This was only glimpsed in the episode, but here's the magazine cover revealing Batwoman's sexuality:

Hasn't Batwoman been gay for years in the comics anyway? What's the big deal?

@Feralwookiee - In the show's context more of a deal. I don't if you've seen the new episode, but there a subplot about Batwoman being shipped with male GCPD officer by the media. Kate arranges this magazine thing in the end to encourage a gay teen.

That's a actual plotline in the show.

@KyloBen - given that every second line in the script is either..

"Did we tell you she's a woman?"

Or..

"She likes women, not men."

Is it really surprising?

Yes that's exactly what a dark vigilantee in the Bat-family should do. Appear brightly lit on a women's fashion magazine cover talking about your sexuality. I'm sure Bruce would approve.

I used to enjoy Arrow and Flash but these shows really seem like a joke to me now. People liken it to the Silver Age but really it's much sillier.

THIS is the kind of writing you expect from shows that get renewed. Stunning and Brave......

Her being a lesbian wasn't apparent from the pilot? Heck, anyone with half a brain could figure it out from the trailer. HECK, SHE'S GAY IN THE COMICS. CW, you a different breed.

Nice blue steel look batwoman. Anyway her show is the weakest of the cw shows and unless someone is guest staring damn near unwatchable.

Supergirl has had its ups and downs but lex has made the show very interesting and the post crisis ep was good with a more comic acurate braniac 5 even.

Hmmm, very interesting about Lena Luthor being spotted in Gotham (haven't watched the latest Supergirl yet tho, so perhaps that's something that is taken care of there).

For someone who is desperately trying to convince not only her ex-lover, but all her closest friends, that she is not Batwoman, she is doing a shitty job of hiding it. They already suspect Kate Kane is hiding something, but now for Batwoman to oust herself as a lesbian, of whom Kate is openly one? Why doesn't she just go all Iron Man and make a press conference declaring who she is? Also, this was terribly forced. This show has been shoving SJW-LGBT at us more forcefully than even the comic book has done in the past, and the comic book is NOT subtle.
