Kate's sister. Detective Comics #858

The whole preview is over at the Source blog.

These are from Detective Comics #858 in which Kate's origin is revealed and it involves a twin sister.

Around the time of 52 when the new Batwoman appeared I couldn't care less about her. Now she is one of my favorite characters.

No worries, I got what you were saying. Merely idle persiflage.
That's changed, actually - back in the Golden Age, a number of characters were SPECIFICALLY attached to real government or military groups. You had G-men from the FBI; you had guys in the Navy, Army, Air Force and Marines - and they frequently bragged about their membership in these groups IN THE TITLE OF THEIR COMIC. My guess is that the government liked the free publicity it got from this, and encouraged that sort of thing - it pretty much changed when we got into Vietnam, though, and the sympathies of the general public turned away from the armed forces. (As an interesting example of this, in his original adventures against the Yellow Claw, Jimmy Woo was an agent of the FBI, not SHIELD - most subsequent reprints, however, re-letter the dialogue so that he's now a SHIELD agent, which fits better with Marvel's history, I suppose.)
