The list of biggest name superheroes begins with Superman and has Batman as a close second. Over the years however with the lack of a successful Superman film or successful animated franchise post Superman: The Animated Series, and the success of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, Batman holds the title for best DC character, amongst the general public at least. Now with the financial success of Man of Steel a Justice League film seems inevitable, and along with that a new Batman.
Now, Batman should be more experienced in the new films and although the first film of the reboot shouldn't explore the origins of the Caped Crusader it should explore the first year of Batman in Gotham City, similar to the premise of the Arkham Origins video game being released. Over the course of the franchise the Bat-Family should expand, and with that comes my main topic: Introduce Batwoman. Not the one created for the sole purpose of showing that Batman and Robin were not gay, but Kate Kane.
Kate Kane, is one character from DC Comics Lore that should be represented on a larger format than comics due to her sexual orientation. In today's society homosexuality is commonly discussed topic, in California gay marriage is legal. The ramifications of such a character appearing on film would be incredible it wouldn't only show how we have gone past the narrow mind that has plagued society, but it would also bring a female superhero onto screen. Batwoman's character would be a representation of the main idea in Nolan's Trilogy, Batman is a symbol anyone can be batman. That is what Kate represents, because not only does she wear the Bat Symbol because it allows her to be recognized as a good guy, but it also is the symbol of the man who inspired her to fight crime.
Batwoman is not directly involved with the major Bat-Family which allows her to have a storyline not bogged down by crossovers. It also lets us see a corner of gotham city where the supernatural is more predominant and the stories border on horror. I for one believe that Kate Kane can be the next big thing, what do you fellow comic book movie users think?
