The big announcement from DC Comics at New York Comic Con?

Batman will be taking a backseat in 2009 and handing the Detective Comics series over to Batwoman, who will mark the publisher's "most high profile title starring a gay superhero." DC is planning for 12 issues featuring the openly gay superhero starting in June.

I had heard like last year that she was gonna be brought back in a single issue like thing as a gay superhero, but now she's gonna have the whole detective comic branch. wow this is big news.

thats not only awesome, but kinda hot actually.
