DC Comics writer Greg Rucka told Comic Book Resources she was "a lesbian socialite by night and a crime-fighter by later in the night".
Her appearance coincides with a battle in Gotham City to take over Batman's cowl after he was seemingly killed off in November.
Batwoman and her alter ego, Kath Kane, will appear in at least 12 issues of Detective Comics from June.
"We've been waiting to unlock her - it's long overdue," Rucka said.
"Yes, she's a lesbian. She's also a redhead. It is an element of her character. It is not her character. If people are going to have problems with it, that's their issue. That's certainly not mine," he added.
