Batwoman
Batwoman was recently promoted to GA and I would like a peer review to prepare it for FA. Bookkeeperoftheoccult (talk) 10:21, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Introduction
 * Batwoman (originally referred to as The Bat-Woman) is a fictional superheroine and the female counterpart to the superhero Batman. This character appears in publications produced by DC Comics and related media, created by Bob Kane and Sheldon Moldoff.

Publication history
 * The contents of her utility purse were actually weapons disguised as stereotypical feminine products such as lipstick, cosmetic compacts, charm bracelets and hair nets.

Skills resources and abilities
 * While the Siver Age Batwoman used weaponry disguised as feminine products, the Modern Age Batwoman's arsenal includes a baton-like device which can extend from the center in length and has Bat-shaped attachments at each end Batarangs as well as a Batman-inspired grappling hook.[20]

 * 1) Consider revising the lead, as the first three sentences are awkward.  Perhaps something like:"Batwoman (originally referred to as the Bat-Woman) is a fictional character, a comic book superhero co-created by writer Bob Kane and artist Sheldon Moldoff, appearing in publications by DC Comics. The character is the female counterpart to the superhero Batman and she first appeared in Detective Comics #233 (1956), introduced as a love interest for Batman to disprove allegations of homosexuality in response to the backlash from the book Seduction of the Innocent (1954)."Then begin the next paragraph with her original secret identity.
 * 2) The lead paragraphs lack citation.  While the information is reiterated later in the article with citation, these first instances should be cited as well.
 * 3) The remainder of the article seems fairly good.  I would advise someone to go through it, though, and tighten some of the language as well as add wikilinks where appropriate (I see a few that should be there).
