Batman's fictional character Catwoman aka Selina Kyle has finally come out of the closet about her sexuality in the latest issue revealing that she is a bisexual.
In Catwoman #39, Kyle is the head of Gotham's Calabrese crime family, and, on the brink of a mob war, shares a kiss with the woman currently in the Catwoman costume, Eiko Hasigaway, in a moment that promises that have major ramifications for both characters as the storyline progresses, Deadline.com reported.
Catwoman writer Genevieve Valentine said in her blog that this wasn't a revelation so much as a confirmation and the moment between Kyle and Hasigaway isn't meant to titillate, though, but lends the characters depth, especially with war right on the horizon in issue #40.
While there are plenty of LGBT characters like Batwoman, Midnighter, Apollo, and Green Lantern Alan Scott in DC, few enjoy the same prominence as the core Justice Leaguers.
