Given that it was telling us Kate Kane's origin story, it's no surprise that the pilot episode of Batwoman reached into the comics for inspiration. With that in mind, fans of the comic book character will probably recognise that the show owes a lot to Batwoman: Elegy.

Running from 2009 until 2010, Elegy allowed us to see behind the mask of Kate as it delved into her origins, revealing how her love for another woman resulted in her departure from The Academy while also focusing on her fight against the unhinged Alice.

Hey, if you're going to pay tribute to the Batwoman comics, you may as well start with the beginning (and the best), right?
