Williams III, this is Kate Kane’s big break. Written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by J.H. None of this is essential reading as the highlights are recapped in Elegy, but if you’re a completionist or particularly interested in the prophecy that sets the Religion of Crime after Batwoman, Kate’s relationship with Renee, or just seeing the character’s origin, this is the place to find all of those things.
If this seems like a ton of reading, just know that Kate is only in issues 9, 11, 28, 30, 33, and 34, so you could just focus on those if you’d like. Renee who seems to be contributing a bit to the TV show’s Sophie Moore character, an ex of Kate’s and a high-ranking member of Kate’s father’s private security contractor The Crows. We get to learn a bit about her background like her Jewish faith, her fantastic tattoos, and her relationship with Renee Montoya of the Gotham City Police. The book, much like the show, asks the question: who will step up? These books introduce Bruce Wayne’s cousin who pulls on the cowl out of a mix of necessity, never wanting to be a victim again, and having a ton of great skills but nowhere to use them.
If you’re interested in books that likely inspired the CW’s Batwoman TV show, this is a great pick because (at least for now), the CW’s Gotham City has been operating without Batman for a long time. Kate Kane first becomes Batwoman in this series focused on a year without DC’s big three of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Take a closer look at Batwoman’s story and learn more about Kate’s past – and where she might be headed in the future. Comic book numbering can be confusing and character often make one-off appearances, so we’ve gathered the best of Kate Kane’s books, under her own title or otherwise, and put them in proper order. With the CW show, many of these books are getting re-releases, like the new version of “Elegy” with a Ruby Rose cover, an upcoming harcover omnibus, and Batwoman: Haunted Tides, which combines “Hydrology” and “To Drown the World” so readers can get the entire arc in one book.
