The second Batwoman, Kate Kane, was introduced in 2006, her backstory being that she was dismissed from the U.S. military because of its homophobic "don't ask, don't tell" policy. After a few years as a Gotham party girl, a chance encounter with Batman led her to realize she had been wasting her life. Using military connections, Kate created armour and weapons that let her replicate what Batman was doing, and headed on a two-year world journey of training.

After a few run-ins with the Family, Bruce, recognizing that Kate was already a well-trained, well-equipped warrior, asked her to join the team. She was made Batman's second-in-command and was given a team of younger Family members to train and command.

Kate is currently involved in a relationship with fan favourite character Detective Renee Montoya.
