News of Batwoman's lesbian marriage proposal was first announced Wednesday on Bleeding Cool. Rich Johnston reported that "Batwoman" #17 concludes with the heorine proposing to her girlfriend, Maggie Sawyer.
Because in Batwoman #17, published today, Kathy Kane, the Batwoman, DC’s leading lesbian lady asks Maggie Sawyer, Captain Sawyer, her secret girlfriend to ... be her wife. No idea how well that’s going to go down. And you have to read the build up to this – and the rather dangerous epilogue. There’s no guarantee we’re going to hear wedding bells. But I think that’s a story. I’ve been talking about how much I love this comic for some time, I think it’s DC’s best. Now I’ve just been given another reason.
After emerging victorious from a recent crusade, Kane reveals her identity to Sawyer. "Marry me, Mags," she says, planting a kiss on Sawyer before the police captain can react.
Batwoman artist J. H. Williams hinted that big things were in store for Wednesday's release.
"Batwoman is an important character, and a socially important one that has meaning that extends well beyond the printed pages of the world she lives in, reaching out into ours possibly affecting those who encounter her story," he wrote on his official website Tuesday.

...you mean Renee Montoya, HBIC of the GCPD and one of the best Batman characters ever.
Well, Gotham is basically Bizarro NYC and same sex marriage just got ratified in NY state, right? Sounds good then.
I thought Bludhaven was Jersey.
I usually don't mind them but would've been nice if the pic was under a cut or something.
and by baddies I mean shitty writers who suck
And ICU DC trying to distract people from the Orson Scott Card dramaBut WHY IS SHE SO DAMNED PALE? Is that ever explained, because I find myself wondering that all the time.
They might have been joined by more unexisted people, idk, I stopped reading anything DC.
