Line 28:
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: [[Batman]], obviously.
* [[Elseworld]] / [[What If]]: Several of the Batwoman stories of the 1960s were imaginary stories written by Alfred, in which Batman and Batwoman had gotten married and had a son, Bruce Jr. Dick Grayson and Junior took over after their elders retired, fighting under the supranyms "Batman II" and "Robin II". (They even had "II" symbols on their chests.) There was a "Son of the Joker", Batgirl became the new Batwoman, and almost inevitably Bruce would have to come out of retirement in each story...
* [[Gay Panic]]: Based predominantly on [[Ho Yay|subtext]], many rumors circulated in the 1950's that Batman's relationship with Robin was sexual instead of parental. One of the original reasons for Batwoman's creation ([[Urban Legend|According to some]]) was to provide a female love-interest for Bruce Wayne in order to appease the [[Moral Guardians]].
* [[Name of Cain]]: Probably named after Batman creator Bob Kane.
* [[Of Corsets Sexy]]: The original Batwoman's first costume was a black corset over a yellow silk shirt, with yellow tights and cape. Later artists have interpreted her costume differently.
