Batman: The Animated Series Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles
The Batwoman
When a syndicate of mobsters composed of The Penguin, Rupert Thorne and Carlton Duquesne began a smuggling ring sending illegal weapons to the war-torn nation of Kasnia, they found their venture stymied by a new costumed vigilante who called herself ‘The Batwoman.’ This Batwoman was equipped with a jet-powered glider and took on the syndicate’s operations with violent, reckless abandon.
Although The Batman was certainly in favor of taking down the smuggling operation, he did not approve of this Batwoman’s tactics, the destruction she caused and her disregard for the safety of others. He was quick to disavow this mysterious new Batwoman and set upon taking down both the smuggling ring as well as the violent vigilante.
Determining The Batwoman’s true identity proved a difficult mystery for Batman to solve. This was primarily because The Batwoman was not one person but actually three different women who worked together; with each donning the guise of The Batwoman for different parts of the overarching mission.
These women were Dr. Roxanne Ballantine, Kathy Duquesne and Detective Sonia Alcaña. Each had a vendetta against the members of the syndicate. The Penguin had used Dr. Ballantine’s fiancé as a patsy resulting in his incarceration; Thorne’s racketeering operation had caused Alcaña’s parents to lose their family business; and Kathy Duquesne blamed her father’s criminal career for the murder of her mother. Alcaña brought the three together and they created the identity of the Batwoman to garner their revenge.
Batman suspected each of these individuals as potentially being The Batwoman yet the fact that they switched turns acting as the vigilante gave all three plausible alibis. During the course of his investigation, Bruce Wayne began a romantic relationship with Kathy Duquesne.
Desparate to salvage their smuggling ring, The Penguin brought in the mercenary, Bane, to take out The Batwoman. He succeeded in capturing her and when she was unmasked as Kathy, her father Carlton Duquesne was shocked. He could not kill his own daughter so his partners turned on him and planned on eliminating him as well. Fortunately, Batman had finally deduced the mystery and he joined forces with Alcaña and Ballantine to save Kathy and defeat Bane.
Carlton Duquesne agreed to testify against Thorne and The Penguin and all three were sentenced to long prison terms. With the villains behind bars, the three women cast aside their role as Batwoman and returned to their civilian lives.
Dr. Ballantine was reunited with her now-freed fiancé whereas Detective Alcaña left the police force in pursuit of a fresh start. And Kathy Duquesne continued her relationship with Bruce Wayne.
Actress Kyra Sedgwick provided he voice for The Batwoman, with Kimberly Brooks voicing for Kathy Duquesne, Elisa Gabrielli voicing Sonia Alcaña and Kelly Ripa voicing Roxanne Ballantine. The three heroines appeared in the animated feature, Batman: Mystery of The Batwoman.
