Oh, comics. Sometimes, I just--
I don't know how I feel.
On one hand, I'm glad Renee Montoya is going to be in the DCnU, but I don't know what to do if she's not The Question.
“Renee will be seen as a member of the Gotham City Police Force.”
That's what Didio's said about Renee's role in the DCnU. On one hand, I love Renee, and if I can get any of her, then I count it a win. On the other--if she's not The Question, what does that mean?
Is there going to be a Question at all? Is Vic Sage coming back? Those are two very big questions for me. How much of her struggle are they keeping? The murder of her partner? Her outing by Two-Face? What about that two year long struggle in 52 and then Countdown when she went from a bitter, lost woman drowning in her pain to finally coming to terms with herself? What about the friendship she had with Vic that was so deep she took care of him as he was dying in the last stages of cancer, when she dragged him over snow and mountains just to try and help him, and having to come to terms with herself when he died in sight of the city and she was just simply too late?
What about the Crime Bible? What about the Mark of Cain? Why is it that Kate is having the softest of reboots when Renee's history is in limbo and Barbara is having an entire section of her life as Oracle pretty much shunted aside? I can't figure out what the hell DC is trying to do, and I can't trust them to take care of my girls like they should be.
Out of all of the things that I've heard, this one hurts me the most, and it all comes down to trust. I haven't been with Renee very long as a fan. I didn't read Gotham Central when it was out, didn't even know she had jumped from television to the comics until 52, but she's a character I relate to, that I love, and I feel like in those thirteen words, I'm having to say goodbye to her, and now I have to wonder if I'm even going to recognize her the next time I see her.
Stupid DCnU. I'll be holding my breath.
In the meantime, at least I have Kate.
I don't know how I feel.
