 * HistoryText            = The name Kane is a common name in the Batman legacy, especially tied to Batwoman. It is unclear how they all connect, if at all.

Batwoman I
Age 25, Katherine "Kathy" Webb, met Nathan Kane, aged 40. After three years of courtship, they married. Retired industrialist, Roderick Kane, died shortly after, as did his wife, Elizabeth "Betsy". Nathan Wayne inherited the family fortune, but he died after four years of marriage, leaving Kathy everything. As a widow, she retained the Kane surname. She is, by marriage, an aunt of fellow socialite Bruce Wayne, whose mother was a sister of Nathan Kane.

Batwoman II
Katherine "Kate" Kane became the second Batwoman during a year long absence of Batman. Her family reportedly own half of Gotham, though most money comes from her stepmother, Catherine Hamilton.

 * The predominance of the surname Kane is in honor of Batman creator Bob Kane.
 * The names Katherine and Elizabeth are common in this family.
 * Pre-Crisis, Betty Kane was a niece of Kathy Kane. Post-Crisis, some references to "Aunt Kathy" remained, though in Batwoman: Cutter, she used "Aunt Cathy" instead, referring to Catherine Hamilton, her step-aunt. Her relationship to Katherine Webb-Kane, if any, is unrevealed, though the first Batwoman did use a sidekick Bat-Girl resembling pre-Crisis Betty.
