NOTES:
Writer/artist John Byrne reportedly stated that he intended Bruce's wife to be Kathy Kane, the one-time
superhero Batwoman, but did not identify her because her presence in 1949 violated his self-imposed rule
of not introducing characters before the date of their original debut. The Same Goes for Batgirl who
debuted the same time Betty Kane, The Original Batgirl debuted.
