Greg Rucka gets nothing from the Batwoman TV Show

Talk about writing Gotham Central starts 39:00
I know he pretty much created Kate Kane (though entirely by himself), but I'm not at all surprised he doesn't get anything from the TV show. Opening credits list Bob Kane as her creator (but that's more accurate for Kathy Kane, the old Batwoman).
Guess now it'll say Dries and Berlanti or something for the OC.
Another way would be for her to have her own mantle but be Kate’s either sidekick or partner (either robin/batgirl or catwoman) just it’s hard enough at the minute for me because I like Steph as batgirl but that for me means babs is flanebird and Bette is hawkfire and that wasn’t well liked
Truth is the best policy
Let her be Hawkfire. Seriously we need to not have this at all. Batwoman should be recast.
Batwoman is dead. Long live Batwoman.
The credit will still be Bob Kane's. He didn't create the silver age Batwoman, Edmond Hamilton did. They must be simply crediting the creator of Batman.

I've checked, the show credits Kane and Finger, so it's definitely crediting the creators of Batman instead of Batwoman. And I agree, they should've been crediting Kate Kane's creators, if not instead, then at least in addition.

They're not, else Nightwing would also be credited to Kane and Finger, rather than Wolfman and Perez (who gave Dick that mantle in New Teen Titans).

"The Whisper" is clearly Tahani/Knife, no idea about Ocean.
