Mystery of the Batwoman

[arbre_rieur]

Four more pages from BATMAN, INCORPORATED #4...

This issue fleshes out the backstory of Kathy Kane, the first Batwoman. At one point, she was invited to join an elite spy organization.



Interestingly, we find out later in the issue that Agent-33 is El Gaucho.

"It's true to her Silver Age origins."

Not really. The original version shows Kathy performing at the circus, thinking "I wish I could be like Batman, the greatest acrobat of all! He uses his skill, not for shows, but against crime!" Not that different from Kate, really -- wanting to do good, and using The Bat as a template.

Well to be honest I've never read her origins specifically but I do have a couple of old books where she resembles Lois at her Gold/Silver aged worst in terms of trying to get the hero to marry her.
