American Childhood Lost
I can not believe what I just read. A piece of Americana is lost do to political correctness and progressive thinking. How can D.C. comics actually do this to my childhood and opthers who grew up with their hero's one way then change them a 180 degree turn for some nonexisitant main stream that does not exisit except in radical circles.
Batwoman hero returns as lesbian

Batwoman's new look has been designed by artist Alex Ross
Comic book heroine Batwoman is to make a comeback as a "lipstick lesbian" who moonlights as a crime fighter, a DC Comics spokesman has confirmed.
Batwoman - real name Kathy Kane - will appear in 52, a year-long DC Comics publication that began this month.
In her latest incarnation, she is a rich socialite who has a romantic history with another 52 character, ex-police detective Renee Montoya.
52 will be published in the UK as a graphic novel by Titan Books in 2007.
The series is set in a world in which established superheroes like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman no longer play a part.
Reinvention
The new-look Batwoman is just one of a wave of ethnically and sexually diverse characters entering the DC Comics universe.
Others include Mexican teenager Blue Beetle - who replaces the character's previous white incarnation - and the Great Ten, a government-sponsored team of Chinese superheroes.
Regular characters Firestorm and The Atom, meanwhile, have been reinvented as black and Asian heroes respectively.
The characters are part of a wider effort to broaden the make-up of comic-book creations in line with society as a whole.
Batwoman, who first appeared in July 1956, has not been seen since September 1979 when she was killed by the League of Assassins and the Bronze Tiger.
I thought it was bad enough when the guardians banished Hal Jordan to the far end of the known universe and brought in this usurper ( I dont care if he is black or not, he just isn't the caretaker of garden city you know).
Why the big push to change all the hero's to minorities. What happened to the Black Panther ... harlem's answer to Batman and daredevil. Iron Fist .... karate expert and bad guy butt kicker.
Whats next Superman becomes Arab.

I am for gay rights, or at least would be if it really existed. This proves that they really do not want to be equal but are trying to promote their perverson.
