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.

True enough, although this was as a result of post-Crisis revisionism - if you wanted to be pedantic (pedantic? ME? Heavens, no!), you could argue that this didn't really count, as the characters had not been initially designed that way - originally, their father was a farmer. The whole 'military brat' thing really only applies to the most recent edition of the characters - which, I'll grant you, is a pretty substantial chunk of continuity at this point, but still.
I wonder if anyone's ever written a story where the Pre and Post-Crisis Loises meet? I imagine they'd get into quite an argument.

	well they acknowledge that E-2 Lois was a farm girl in Blackest Night: Superman. Black Lantern Lois calls the New Earth Lois a "city whore" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, interesting, so 'Blackest Night' is resurrecting Pre-Crisis characters as well as Post-Crisis? I thought it was only Post-Crisis - I haven't really been paying much attention to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well there are pre-Crisis characters who still exist. Power Girl is one of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, of course, but there aren't usually different versions of the same character in continuity. (Well, there's the Kingdom Come Superman in JSA, but otherwise...) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well these are Pre-Crisis characters who were in exile after the first Crisis and then came out in Infinite Crisis.

Superman of Earth-2, Lois Lane of Earth-2, Alexander Luthor Jr., Superboy-Prime, and Psycho Pirate.

They are only Black Lanterns because they survived the first Crisis and their bodies still exist. Other pre-Crisis characters no longer exist so they can't be revived.

Right, OK. So Earth-2 Superman and Lois were with Lexie Jr., Psycho Pirate was with the Anti-Monitor, and Superboy Prime was with... wait. Hang on - I thought Superboy-Prime was actually supposed to come from OUR world, or a version of it, and was a villain because he was convinced that he was the Silver-Age Superboy, and that all the Post-Crisis heroes were just big meanies who were mucking up his formerly-idyllic world. Orrrrr... something like that. At any rate, I'm fairly certain he's not the actual Silver-Age Superboy.
