DC recently redesigned Batman's former love interest as gay -- a move that sparked outrage among the comic book community when it was first announced in 2006.

Todd Klein, who is inking the script for the miniseries, posted the panels (right) on his blog along with a short note:

"Written by Greg Rucka with stunning art by J.H. Williams III, this miniseries is moving slowly, but I’ve lettered the first issue, and it looks and reads very well indeed."

This marks Batwoman's first major comic book return since 1979, after a brief stint last year in DC's weekly series 52.
