Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles
Elseworlds Edition
Batwoman / Kate Kane
Katherine ‘Kate’ Kane is Bruce Wayne’s cousin on his mother’s side.  She had been a highly-decorated soldier in the United States Army yet was drummed out of service due to her being a lesbian and refusing to comply with the armed force’s insulting ‘don’t ask don’t tell’ policy.  
Kane felt directionless once discharged from the army.  One evening she was attacked by a would-be mugger.  Kate fought off the mugger with little difficulty and Batman arrived not realizing that she did not require his assistance.  Kate was taken by the strength and intimidation Batman was able to wield with his costume and legacy.  
She decided to emulate Batman and made a costume for herself, equipped with high-tech gadgets and weapons similar to those used by The Dark Knight.  She became The Batwoman.  
A fierce combatant and skilled tactician, The Batwoman proved a highly effective crimefighter.  Batman did not even attempt to dissuade her from her vigilantism.  It was entirely clear that she could more than take care of herself and would prove a invaluable alley in the battle against crime and injustice in Gotham City.  
Although an entirely new character, Kate was inspired by the Kathy Kane Batwoman from the Silver Age of Batman comics.  This newer Batwoman did not appear in the original DCAU, although the character of Katherine Duquesne from the animated feature, Batman: Mystery of The Batwoman, was something of a homage to both the Silver and Modern Age versions of Katherine Kane.   
The Kate Kane version of Batwoman first appeared in the pages of 52 #7 (2006).

Ok, out there concept, but….what if the characters from the DCAU mystery of the Batwoman (Sonia Alcana, Rocky Ballantine and Kathleen “Kathy” Duquesne) were aged down in the comics and became Kate Kane’s kid Sidekicks. (Similar to what happened in DC Bombshells universe, which was one of Kathleen first comic appearance since her debut in the dcau)
They could be like the PPG equivalent of the bat family! (just with no powers) Honestly, I just like the idea of a badass female crime fighter having her trio of kids tag along as she fight crime. We need more hero moms DC! Anyways, thank you reading and thoughts?

Velma Dinkley, Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Norville “Shaggy” Rogers, and a pup named Scooby-Doo are the core members of Mystery Incorporated, a mobile crime-solving organization, more commonly referred to as “The Scooby Gang” or “Those Meddling Kids (and their DOG).” While generally involved in what essentially amount to real estate disputes and low level corporate theft revolving around individuals dressed in elaborate monster costumes (inspired by the color vestments of actual metahuman and alien criminals), the group is fairly well regarded by the wider superhero community for staving off alien invasions, eldritch incursions, zombie cat-people, demon summonings, and what have you. In fact, Mystery Inc famously rubs elbows with all manner of celebrities, being one of the few groups that can say they’ve worked directly with both Bruce Wayne and Batman (truly opposite ends of the spectrum, as far as guest stars go, I’m sure you’d agree.) There’s some speculation that they were the inspiration behind Batman Incorporated.
Of the individual members, each is fairly accomplished in their own regard. Doctor Velma Dinkley has a variety of degrees and patents to her name, including a close call with some nanotech. Fred Jones is the adopted son of Don Jones aka Professor Huh?, the Freak of Crystal Cove, and a beneficiary of Velma’s nanotech research. His childhood altercations with the Herring siblings--Red and Rose--were actually some of the group’s earliest cases when they were still children. Daphne Blake--of the Gotham Blakes--is the fashion conscious bank roller of the team and their other best fighter (being more technically proficient than Shaggy, but lacking his raw power) having trained with her good friends Barbara Gordon and Kathy Duquesne. Shaggy, while always a core member, became their powerhouse after happening on a crystal and uh...well, eating it. He seems to black out and act on pure instinct when accessing even half a percent of his raw power. The League has made a note to keep an eye on him, either as a threat or a potential recruit, as well as the relationship between Norville and the so-called “Shaggy Man.”
Scoobert Doo--Scooby--is of course the group’s unofficial namesake. A great dane who can speak and has roughly human intelligence, Scooby’s origins were initially a mystery, until multiple other dogs matching his description and intelligence were discovered. As they all recognized each other and seem to be related, Velma and Batman surmise that Scooby and his siblings and cousins are all related to a single, meta-canine with an unknown number of uplifted descendants. Among these, Scooby’s child Scrappy--though raised as his nephew by Scooby’s sister--is perhaps the clearest vision of this sub-species’ possible future. Kamandi--a human survivor of a future Great Disaster--even confused Scrappy for his friend, Doctor Canus, believing he had accidentally traveled back to a time too close to his own.

Once again, more DC redesigns, NOT FIXS. Not a DC expert, sorry if I got stuff wrong. That and I really only know Sonia, Kathleen, and Roxanne from Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, so if their ate different, more accepted version of their characters and got stuff about them wrong in these designs, again sorry.
(Sorry for any spelling, grammar, or drawing mistakes)

Retrospective Review - Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman
I believe Mystery of the Batwoman was the last DCAU movie for a long time. I remember as a young teenager, renting this movie from Blockbuster, excited because it was another DCAU movie. DCAU had a pretty good track record with the animated movies with MOTP, Subzero, and ROTJ. MOTB has a bit of a mixed reception, but while I definitely don't think its on the same level as MOTP or ROTJ, its a pretty entertaining movie.
This film is a bit of a mystery thriller, which is always something I enjoy. The central mystery around this movie is the identity of the Batwoman, who is destroying the arms supplying operations of the Penguin and Rupert Thorne. The film gives us a few different suspects and gives each one of them a possible motivation to go after the operation. For a direct to video animated film, I felt the mystery was fairly clever. I always enjoy seeing Batman the investigator, one thing which the Batman from the DCAU was really good at. So its fun to follow Batman as he investigates the various suspects. One of the suspects turns out to be a new love interest so there is also a slight romance in the movie.
Compared to some of the other animated films, this film is relatively slight. As in there is no personal stakes for Batman in this story. In a way its refreshing to have a straightforward story. Its just him to trying to investigate and figure out who is donning the Bat logo to cause unwanted destruction. Batwoman in this film is nothing like the comics so she feels like a fresh character, and there are some parallels to the Phantasm, but she's less a villainous figure compared to the Phantasm. The film is briskly paced with quality animation. There are a lot of fun animated action sequences. The film also brings in Bane, along with characters like Penguin and Thorne, to have a trio of comic book villains.
The issues with the movie are what comes with brisk pacing. The film establishes three main suspects in Kathy Duquesne, Dr. Rocky Ballantine, and Detective Sonya Alcana. All three are given motivations against one of the antagonists, which includes Carlton Duquesne. While I think the twist, that all three of them are Batwoman, works quite well, the movie doesn't give the three all that much characterization apart from the superficial. I would say Kathy probably gets the most since she gets a bit more screen time as a love interest for Bruce. But apart from a few lines of dialogue here and there, there is not much to the characters. The down side of it being a straightforward story with not personal investment for Batman is that its also less emotionally investing for us. While MOTP hits you in the heart with Bruce's heartbreak, ROTJ is enthralling with the darkness of the backstory with Joker's death, and Subzero continues to make you feel sympathy for Mr. Freeze, here you don't feel anything. This is one film that could have maybe used 10-15 mins extra to beef up the characterization of the three ladies and the villains.
The voice acting for the DCAU is top class as always. Kevin Conroy is strong as always. Kimberly Brooks, Kelly Ripa, Elisa Gabrielli, and Kyra Sedgewick all are strong as the Kathy, Rocky, Sonia, and Batwoman respectively. David Ogden Stiers, Hector Elizondo, Kevin Michael Richerdson, and John Vernon deliver the goods as the villains. Also, this was the last film roles for Bob Hastings, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., and John Vernon in the roles of Gordon, Alfred, and Thorne respectively.
Overall, despite having less of an emotional pull, this was still a pretty fun movie. Good job by Alan Burnett, who had the story, and Michael Reaves and Curt Geda, who wrote and directed the film. A 7/10 for me.
