I hear Batwoman is good.
They did some real damage, though, IMO.
Barbara Gordon going back to being Batgirl... blech... I loved her as Oracle. She was one of the only truely great disabled superheroes this side of Daredevil.

Thank you. Plus her not being disabled means "The Killing Joke" didn't happen. Yes, DC retconned it so one of their greatest Batman stories didn't exist. I friggin HATE DC sometimes.
They haven't brought back The Question yet, but I really fucking hope Renee Montoya is ether still The Question or at least a major character in it. She was one of the few gay/lesbian characters whose sexuality wasn't used for fucking titillation.
I know. Makes me think about that year when they tried to make us believe Catwoman was a lesbian. Yeah, with over 40 years of her flirting with Batman she is toooooooootally gay. Or was that a year, it might have been just a couple months do to A.) No-one bought it B.) This was clearly trying to get horny fan-boys to buy more comics.
As I understand it, yes, the Killing Joke is still in cannon, but rather than being crippled for life, Barbara was only crippled for a few years. I still don't like it. I thought she was actually a stronger character as Oracle then as Batgirl. She was THE source that almost every hero turned to for information. She was the-go to investigator for the JLA and ... grrr.... the more I think about it, the more it pisses me off. Also, she still kicked ten tons of ass, even in a wheelchair. I've got to go back and read the older Birds of Prey books.
Also, for the record, Batwoman is also a lesbian and is generally not written for titillation. I'm actually thinking about checking out her book when some trades come out.
Matter of fact, Isn't she Montoya's ex-girlfriend?

Yeah I think so. I thought they were still together though! Oh supers, why can't you get your love-lifes together. Speaking of love-interests, Lois Lane got screwed too right? I heard her break-up with Superman was similar to One More Day.
