History ComicBook / BatwomanRebirth

* HypotheticalCasting: Tynion has mentioned in an interview that he'd like to see Creator/JessicaChastain play Kate.

** Kate's face is unmarked after bare-knuckle boxing with Sophie.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The Rebirth one-shot contains a pair of slightly-veiled references to cunnilingus and fingerbanging.

* CanonWelding: Played with. This series began after the halfway point of ''[[ComicBook/DCComicsBombshells DC Bombshells]]'', also written by Bennett, and Bennett's depiction of Kate in this series greatly resembles how Kate appears in ''Bombshells'', down to her more folksy way of speaking and the more negative portrayal of Kate herself. Prior to this, Kate in ''Bombshells'' had been distinct from her main universe counterpart in terms of characterization.

* BadassGay: Kate and Knife. They're both tough and almost equal in terms of physical and fighting abilities.

* CanonWelding: Played with.

Prior to this, Kate in ''Bombshells'' had been distinct from her main universe counterpart in terms of characterization.

* NoodleIncident: Downplayed. While sparring, Sophie says to Kate that "[Her] daddy can't help [her] now" as she scores a knockdown. In context, this would seem to refer to a previous boxing match of Kate's (possibly even against Sophie) in which Jacob provided some coaching to her, but the specifics are never revealed.

** In the Rebirth one-shot, the boxing uniforms worn by Kate and Sophie are not those used by West Point either at the time the scene is set nor in the present-day. However, this is fitting for two reasons. First, the sparring match is against Academy rules, so Kate and Sophie would not have been able to check out official equipment. Second, the time period of the scene is around a year after the real-life formation of West Point's women's boxing club; many of those members had to purchase their own gear due to budgetary limitations.

* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: In the BadFuture, Kate is repeatedly shown holding a rifle unsafely, with her finger constantly on the trigger and with it pointed up instead of at the floor, a much safer direction. A trained soldier like Kate should know much better than that. What makes this even more interesting is that each instance is drawn by an artist who has considerable experience drawing people holding guns, so this likely isn't a mere mistake.

* BadassInANiceSuit: Julia is a former SRS operative and no slouch in the commando department, but wears a feminine suit to reflect her behind-the-scenes role on her mission with Kate.

* CrypticBackgroundReference: While sparring, Sophie says to Kate that "[Her] daddy can't help [her] now" as she scores a knockdown. In context, this would seem to refer to a previous boxing match of Kate's (possibly even against Sophie) in which Jacob provided some coaching to her, but the specifics are never revealed.

* SequalHook: The final issue contains a two-page spread featuring no less than ten, in the form of potential scenes.

* SnapBack: Downplayed Issue #16 ends with Kate at one of her lowest points in the whole series, with most of the progress she made from issue #9 on seemingly undone. Issue #17 begins three months later with Kate in some of the best spirits she's ''ever'' been in and her life basically back to normal, with no explanation other than she's "sharpened up" and "set [her] soul to rights".

* SouthernBelle: Under Bennett's pen here, Kate certainly ''sounds'' like one, at least, with numerous folksy idioms in her dialogue.

The series began on March 15, 2017, after the "Batwoman Begins" storyline in January and the Rebirth one-shot in February.

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: In issue #2, a man's hand gets cut off from a single swipe of a knife no larger than a switchblade.

** Alice will also return in this series.

* VillainExitStageLeft: Knife does this after the arrival of the Coryanan warlords, knowing she's outnumbered. However, she cuts off the hand of one of their lackeys and steals his motorcycle, with no attempt made to stop her.
