Okay, this is not going to be fun to hear, but the answer is no, from everything I have seen. This sucks, but Stephanie's book was not at the sales level they were hoping for with a Batgirl logo on it. This gets lost over and over in the timeline, but her book was already going to…

Sorry, have to respond here to angrysunbird's question here, because of FORMAT. Here's the thing…both things are happening because they didn't happen concurrently, or in equal amounts with both characters. An a-list writer had a plan for Cass, as has been talked about previously, while Steph was more of a "cool-down" issue, originally. I can't really talk about what is coming for either, but both things were a factor. The good news is, I know that your voices are being heard. The relaunch of 52 books and Before Watchmen sucked up a lot of editorial oxygen. But they ARE starting to fill in some gaps.

That does sound like bollocks.

Sorry, Gail. :/

Unfortunately, people believe what they want to believe. But everything I said here is absolutely true, barring those things I labeled as speculation. If there is more to this delay in seeing Stephanie and Cass coming back than what I have said and experienced, I am not aware of it. But I am aware that the odd mythology that is so pervasive on social networks is hard to counter, no matter how completely fictional it is.

If people choose not to believe, there's not much I can say. I would like those characters unbenched. I, and others, have tried to make it happen and in some cases are still trying. It can be frustrating, but it's not a shadowy conspiracy, either, and I never see the benefit in that stuff.
