So as I mentioned before my project is gonna revolve around the idea of "What if one parent lived?" I already have a prologue story written which involved Thomas Wayne fighting crime as The Gray Ghost and hunting down the killer of Martha and Ellen's parents and taking them in as his god-daughters. (Inspiration for that story came from Night of The Stalker and The Dark Knight Returns).

Without getting into too much detail, I'm having trouble with what to put in for Martha's first case as the Batwoman. I've read movie novels, read some well-known Batman comics (Year One, Earth One, The Long Halloween, etc.) and even watched some episodes of Batman: The Animated Series. I may have some ideas on what story to go with, but maybe you guys might have some recommendations on what you would see in a story of Martha Wayne as Batwoman.

So to let spoil what I'm writing, I've been working an idea for Batwoman that asks the question of "What if one parent lived?" and became a widowed single mom Batwoman. From the very beginning, I was going to ship Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle together, but I was also gonna have Martha adopt Selina as a baby, because her birth mother died in child-birth.

As time goes on, Selina finds out about her adoption and is starting to have feelings about the boy who should be her brother, and Martha would be supportive of an eventual romantic relationship between the two.

But whenever I bring this idea up to my Batman peers, they sort of tense up and become uncomfortable with it. Technically it's not illegal, because they are not related by blood, and they are having a consensual relationship.

Have any of you been having similar issues?
