Kate Kane is Batman’s cousin, but she forged her own path as a crime fighter. When she was twelve, Kate, her mother, and her twin sister, Beth, were kidnapped by a dangerous cult called the Religion of Crime – a group founded by followers of the villain Darkseid, intent on spreading evil. Kate escaped, but her mother died, and Beth was believed to be dead. However, Beth secretly survived and was raised by the Religion of Crime, eventually becoming their ruthless leader, Alice. Now, the new film Batwoman (2026) brings Kate, Alice, and the Religion of Crime back into the spotlight, with even higher stakes than before.
