DC is no stranger to controversy lately, with a number of creators leaving books due to editorial conflicts or similar problems. One of the more high profile departures of late involved J.H. Williams III and Haden Blackman walking off of Batwoman because of frustration over last-minute changes and reversal of a storyline that would have seen Kate Kane wed her fiance, Maggie Sawyer. That incident certainly sent the Internet abuzz, and unfortunately led to a number of misguided, factually incorrect "DC is against gay marriage" headlines among mainstream news outlets.
The flip side to this story is that the series will be gaining a new creative team starting with December's Batwoman #25. Marc Andreyko, perhaps best known at DC for his long run on Manhunter and contributions to various other Batman projects, is the new regular writer on the series. It's an assignment that offers plenty of potential to reinvent Kate Kane and pursue new storytelling avenues, but also one that carries a lot of baggage and a lot of expectations from fans of Williams, Blackman, and Greg Rucka's previous work.
