Some hot news that may be of interest to ECW fans as well as Sci-Fi buffs is D.C. Comics‘ plan to resurrect Batwoman (not to be confused with Batgirl) as a lesbian.

With an eye on “diversity”, and the wallets of male readers 15-35, the writers at DC have re-imagined the classic character as a beautiful, buxom, costumed crime fighter who will be seen fondling hot girls as well as beating up her many foes, two things the writers at DC believe the average reader likely hasn’t done. And there in lies the charm, which is an apparent euphemism for girl-on-girl action at DC headquarters.

Nothing this earth shattering could be without controversy, and the DC comics message board has erupted in a frenzy of hate filled diatribes.

Of course, some of us knew Batwoman (and her many rip-offs) were given to sapphism long ago:

Having walked in on Batwoman unexpectedly (above) the author received a phone call telling him in no uncertain terms to keep his mouth shut about what he witnessed (below).

While DC certainly has its defenders, who justify outing this courageous costumed adventurer as a blow for diversity, let it be known that here at ECW on Sci-Fi we disapprove of such shameless ploys whose sole purpose is to increase readership.

Of course, if images of tight bodied women kissing are considered promoting diversity, then the boys over at G.G.W. are running some sort of civil rights organization.

Something tells me the DC writers envision a strong, feminine lesbian comfortable with her self and her sexuality something like this:

Like many, we at ECW on Sci-Fi wait with baited breath to find out who her romantic interest will be.

In related news, several hundred comic fans including Kevin Smith and Rob Van Dam were found unconscious in a bizarre outbreak of “over stimulation” after hearing the Batwoman story. Doctors say they were all suffering severe dehydration and the most serious cases of tennis elbow seen in years.
