The Question (M)

The Question also know as Renee Montoya. She is a lesbian female superhero. Montoya was outed as a lesbian by one of Gotham’s villains. Her life fell into chaos, especially her family life; while her younger brother knew about her sexuality, her very religious parents didn't. They decided to disown her upon discovering the truth. While dealing with these family difficulties, and her withdrawal from the force, up pops The Question. Otherwise known as Vic Sage. He wants to train her to fight crime and find her true self. In the end, Montoya becomes the Question.

Renee Montoya was originally created for Batman: The Animated Series but DC's writers preemptively introduced her in an issue of the Batman comic. On the animated series, Montoya was an honest, strong-willed cop frequently partnered with (or serving as foil to) Harvey Bullock. She was voiced by Ingrid Oliu and Liane Schirmer.

The character of Anna Ramirez in the Nolan film series is partially inspired by Renee Montoya. Ramirez is featured in Batman: Gotham Knight and The Dark Knight as a member of the GCPD and partner of Crispus Allen (Gotham Knights) and later Wuertz (The Dark Knight). She appears to be a loyal member of the GCPD and ally of Jim Gordon until Sal Maroni outs her as one of his moles in the GCPD to Harvey Dent. Dent forces Ramirez to send Gordon's family to the location of Rachel Dawes' death before flipping his coin for her fate. Though it lands on the unscarred side, Dent physically hits her in the head with his gun. Gordon later stated that Harvey killed five people, suggesting that Two-Face's attack on Ramirez may have killed her. Since she did not appear in The Dark Knight Rises it is likely that she was discharged from the GCPD.
