I want you guys to imagine: it’s the late 1960s, and beautiful former film actress Martha Wayne is widowed tragically when her husband is shot in a mugging outside a theater in front of her and her young son. At the behest of her young son, who has always been fascinated by the swashbuckling action movies of her youth, she takes a long sabbatical and decides to fight crime by becoming Batwoman. Dressed in a leotard and tights (and looking just as good in her 40s as she did onscreen, if you ask her) she patrols the streets of Gotham with Bruce as her faithful sidekick Robin, and her niece Kate Kane as Batgirl. 

Ras al Ghul is a re-occuring villain who wants to marry her, but her heart still belongs to her late husband, and anyway he’s not going to make a great impression when Bruce is determined to upend a bottle of champagne on him at every party he manages to work his way into. 

Also featuring: former stage actor turned family butler Alfred Pennyworth, who did some Top Secret Shit in the war, tiny black girl Selina Kyle who invents her own gadgets for roof hopping and bonds with Robin over their love of Star Trek, and Only Honest Cop in Gotham Jim Gordon, who is the only law enforcement officer that doesn’t patronize Batwoman OR Robin, and is therefore a Wayne household favorite.
