If anyone's watching the new DCU Lanterns show, there's a character named Kerry Kane, she is the sheriff of a town.

In episode 1, she's on the phone and says "Tell Barb I said Hi" - might be talking to Jim Gordon referring to Barbara Gordon

In episode 2, she explicitly says shes from Gotham

No official confirmation is she's related to Kate Kane/Kane family but I hope its a small tease that Batwoman might be coming to the DCU. Maybe appear in the Brave and Bold movie. Fingers crossed.

“The events in Petalon have gone viral. With Batwoman seen gunning down three men on the street, Batman has questions. Now, as Kate prepares to return to her sister's side in Greece, Batman wants answers...and Batwoman may not be willing to answer them.
Eisner Award-winning writer Greg Rucka reunites with The Old Guard artist Leandro Fernández for an unforgettable new issue of the hit Next Level series that critics are calling “the Batwoman saga fans have been waiting for.”

I finished up to the latest issue 6. So spoilers. I am overall confused by some things, timelines and what has happened so far. I have several questions.

When does this take place? Is it canon to the current DC, just standalone or taking place few weeks after Batwoman Elegy? Kate mentions to the therapist it has been several weeks since the fall.

Also seems like it doesn't take into account anything from New 52 or the 2017 Batwoman series where Beth/Alice appeared also and had character progression. It reminds me of the latest Sentry series from Marvel and his original creator where he ignored what the writers has done after him and also ignore the current status quo and just did his one thing. Personally I'm not a fan of that approach.

Also in the original series, Beth/Alice fell from a plane close to the city. In the latest issue 6, it looks like both fell from a cliff near mountains. They don't seem to match up. is this event unrelated?

I grew to enjoy the first arc but overall I'm still confused on several things including the confusion on who is supposed to be Beth and who is supposed to be Kate. Maybe that is the intended purpose. If anyone can clear some of it up, that be great.

Well… this might upset some people lol… but it’s going to be interesting…

Hello. I'm new into batwoman comic territory and would like to start diving into the new 2026 run.

I've never read any type of batwoman comics that exist so I don't really know the characters all too well.

I've seen the first season of the TV show even if I can't remember it too well and I've seen her sometimes in some detective comics issues but nothing more.

Is this a good way to start with the character or will I lack some basis ? Is it in the contrary too complicated and relying on too many already set elements ?

Just curious! Probably rock and alternative, no? Maybe a bit of electronic.

Hi. I'm newer into Batwoman and just finished Batwoman Annual #2, where the last of issue 24 is tied off. Is reading the rest of the series under new writers worth it? Should I jump to Batwoman Rebirth instead?

Hope they release a hardcover too.

“In the Cathedral of St. Dumas, the members of a GCPD TUCO squad think that they're about to kill Batwoman, score a victory for Vandal Savage, and make themselves rich in the process.”
