At a young age, Kate and her twin and her family is kidnapped and they are all killed except her. She grows up to be strong and goes to West Point only to get kicked out for being a lesbian. When she is twenty-three she discovers the island of Coryana off the coast of Malta and there she meets and falls in love with its manager Safiyah. But she doesn't stay long and at the age of twenty-four, she meets Batman and finds her calling and begins training to become Batwoman. Soon Batman tells her that Monster Venom has arrived on the black market and that whoever has it intends to spread it to as many nations as possible and what does she plan on doing about it?
Batwoman has searched for that last vial of monster venom and it has led her to Kapaucarsi, Istanbul, and a man who is just now taking the dose and turning into a monster. Batwoman takes a magic necklace and throws it over his head to counteract the drug and he turns back into a man. But then a strange woman dressed all in black with white face paint throws a fact dagger into his eye and flies off. Pennyworth, Batwoman's Alfred, runs the blood on the knife blade and it comes back to an island called Coryana where the monster venom comes from. Pennyworth does a search on her computer for the island and the words "Tax Shelter". "Black Market", and "Wretched hive of scum and villainy" show up.
Tatiana, the woman in black who prefers to go by the name Knife now is working with the Arms of Death in using the monster venom. The two get into a fight and Pennyworth lights the fire for the Dogs of War to come and they actually do come and help Batwoman fight off Knife. They provide Batwoman with much-needed information such as a year ago the island was under siege by an industry called Kau and was being bought up; This is when Safiyah disappeared; Could the CEOs of Kau be the ones behind the Arms of Deah? What is their agenda and can Batwoman take them down?
This Book review covers the two first Batwoman Rebirth Comics along with the second and third, Fourth, and fifth ones. I've never read a Batwoman comic before and I find that I really liked it. She was tough, yet able to show a softer side without being weak. Because she's a lesbian she finds that the wold works against her as it did when she got kicked out of West Point, But she doesn't let that stop her. I'm not much for DC comics but Batwoman has made her way into my heart along with her sidekick Pennyworth. I give this book five out of five stars.
