There's something fishy about this story.

<p>I Don't think Renee wouldn't date a cape</p>

Somehow, I think this story will wind up leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

<p>Everyone's making such a big deal, but most people don't even remember Batwoman.&nbsp; Everyone only remembers Batgirl because of the tv show.</p><p>Batwoman was Kathy Kane, and got killed by the League of Assassins in the first appearance of Ra's Al Ghul.</p><p>There have been 3 Batgirls.&nbsp; Betty Kane (Kathy's neice), Barbara Gordon (most famous and daughter of Commission Gordon, now Oracle), and Cassandra Cain (the current incarnation).&nbsp;</p>
