Superheroes Do Hanukkah

Over at the Brooklyn Comic Shop site, owner Joshua H. Stulman shares a few candle-kindling moments from Hanukkah in comics:

In truth it is still rare to find Jewish comic characters in comics and even harder to find mainstream comic stories about Chanukah. Although I must say that both Marvel and D.C. have been pretty good about including a one page Chanukah pin up in their holiday annuals since the 1990’s.

This does, tangentially, raise the question whether Batwoman, as portrayed by Ruby Rose on CW crossover shows FlashGreen Arrow, and Supergirl, will be overtly depicted as Jewish on television, too.
