<\/a><\/p>\nAnd now…another issue of nonsene…courtesy of: J.H. Williams III!\u00a0 Sigh…let’s just go to her backstory and go from there. Take it away, Wikipedia!<\/p>\n
\u00a0In their early childhood, Katherine “Kate” Rebecca Kane and her sister Elizabeth “Beth” Kane were identical twins and were very close to each other. On their twelfth birthday, Kate and Beth were taken by their mother, Gabrielle “Gabi” Kane, to an expensive restaurant for chocolate and waffles, their favorite dish. On the way to the restaurant, a group of armed gunmen attacked the family and took them hostage, killing their bodyguard in the process. After learning of her family’s kidnapping, Kate’s father Colonel Jacob “Jake” Kane led a rescue mission to save his captured family, which ended with Kate’s mother executed and Beth apparently killed after being caught in the crossfire between the kidnappers and soldiers.<\/em><\/p>\n Years later, Jake marries Catherine Hamilton Kane. Kate is attending the United States Military Academy, where she receives excellent grades and ranks at the top of her class. However, when it is alleged that she is in a lesbian relationship with another student, Kate’s commanding officer asks her to disavow the allegation. Telling the officer that she refuses to lie and violate the code of the Academy, Kate admits to being gay and is forced to leave the school. When she confronts her father with the news, he supports her and affirms that she upheld her honour and integrity. She then moves back to Gotham City where she attends college and pursues a wild social lifestyle. Kate is eventually pulled over for speeding by a young Renee Montoya, who was just a traffic cop at this point. The two date for several months and break up following a fight where Kate berates Renee for keeping her sexuality hidden from her colleages and family; after Renee expresses concern about Kate’s lack of direction, when it’s revealed she’s not been attending college.<\/em><\/p>\n While attempting to call Renee and apologize for her behavior, Kate is attacked by a mugger who wants her wallet and cell phone. Using her military training, Kate easily defeats the criminal just as Batman arrives and helps her off the ground. She is then shown fixated by the Bat Signal as Batman flees the scene.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n Wow…that certainly was something, now wasn’t it?!<\/p>\n Williams\u00a0co-wrote the book, alongside W. Haden Blackman, and I\u2019m still uncertain what\u00a0to say about it. The story is\u00a0very confusing and doesn\u2019t make a whole lot of sense for any kind of book trying to be a \u2018Bat\u2018-title. The artwork is amazing..in fact it’s the best of the NEW 52, but that’s where the praise stops. \u00a0I like Batwoman as a character but\u00a0as of now, she\u00a0just doesn’t fit into the Batman Book Canon. It\u2019s\u00a0cool to see the former Teen Titan, Flamebird as her new sidekick(I think), but I just don’t know where this book is headed. Is it about her life, the mystery of her sister, who apparently died after already kinda being dead, or something else entirely\u00a0(oh, just read the damn book, maybe you can tell me what is going on!)?<\/p>\n Seriously though, just save yourself a headache and pass on this convoluted turd.<\/p>\n An official member of the Bruce Wayne Appreciation Society,<\/p>\n Donnie Drama<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" And now…another issue of nonsene…courtesy of: J.H.
