Allegedly someone asked Dan Didio as to whether Renee is in the new DCU, and apparently she's in the GCPD, but no word as to whether she's the Question or not.

Hm, seeing the "logic" behind some of the changes, I guess that they're going to say that Renee being a lesbian recovering alcholic makes her seem too old or something'. I'd be nice to see her around though, whatever form it may be in.

For legality, a funny/sad moment from Gotham Central.

A teenage boy dressed as Robin has been found dead in an alley, and the GCPD have to check in case it's the real one. Maggie Sawyer manages to pull some strings, ie she rings Lois Lane and asks her to ask Superman, and manages to get the Teen Titans in to confirm whether the dead Robin was their friend or not.

This leads to two pages that are both bizarre (the Titans costumes don't exactly merge well with the Gotham Central setting), sad (they make a reference to how Tim had been having a horrible time at the time of the comic, ie the deaths of his father and Steph) and a funny moment, which is at the end.

I'm okay with her not being The Question I wasn't too happy with her being forced into a legacy character roll when I thought she had more potential as a cop used to dealing with the weirdness of Gotham.

If they retcon her into being straight though I will Rage hard.

Oh no way, not with Batwoman being around and likely one of the most untouched characters due to having such a new origin.

I am so DDD: about Renée not being the Question (probably!) *sighs*

Loved that passage in Gotham Central ♥

Dunno how I feel about that. I really liked Renee as the Question. At the same time, I wouldn't mind seeing Vic running around again. As long as there is a Question, I think I'd be happy.

If Renee isn't the Question and Vic is alive, though, I really hope some writer has them buddy up at some point. Their relationship in 52 was awesome and I'd hate to see that ignored.

i LOVE her as the Question. Though at this point i would be happy if she was still around at all... with her being essentially part of the batbooks, and the batbooks going through minimal change, i HOPE she is still the Question, or at least WAS the question...

yeah that is one of my favorite moments in Gotham Central, you can pracitally hear both of them going "Preeeetty...."

Well, I guess things makes me wonder this--does this mean Vic Sage is alive in the DCnU? If that's the case, I think I'm kinda fine with that. I loved Renee as The Question, and I thought Vic's death in 52 was solid, but I also thought he had more story potential than that, so hopefully they use him.

Renee as a PI would definitely be cool! :D

"If they retcon her into being straight though I will Rage hard."

I'm sure I'm probably one of the few that believes this, but...they're not that stupid to do that.

I wouldn't want to invalidate the Charlie & Renee Show, i.e., the only really great thing about "52".

To be entirely honest outside of 52 what I saw with Renee as the Question didn't set my world on fire that much, so I can't claim to be too upset with this news. Just happy she's still around, really.

It occurs to me that this would be the perfect way to introduce the JLU-style Question into the DCnU. No offense to Messrs O'Neill & Cowan, but we can certainly thank that show (and the esteemed Mr. Combs) for reviving the character.

Well, she was retconned into being a lesbian in the first place.

All I want is an ongoing starring Renee Montoya where the GCPD transfers her to the Hub City police department and she becomes the Gordon to Vic's Question.

Was she confirmed straight before she was ever confirmed as a lesbian?

Cos if not, that ain't no retcon.

That's still not THIS IS NOT A LESBIAN, though. Plenty of ladies who dig ladies date men before/during/after coming out, you know?

Less a retcon, more a reveal.

She dated a guy from the Coast Guard during the 'Contagion' cross bat-series in 96. As far as I know (icon_uk please correct me on this) this was the first time Renee ever was shown having a personal/love life.

Except that later works showed her always being a lesbian and seemed to just ignore this happening. Thus, full retcon for me.

(I deleted the previous comment because I mis-named the story in question)

It's a Suddenly Sexuality trope I really dislike and it often ignores bisexuality.

Agreed. If she is however retconned into being straight again it won't be without merit.

She was always a more interesting character as a Detective, to me. And I felt that Vic Sage had a more unique personality as the Question. So as long as Renee's around in a significant capacity out of costume, I'm fine with this.
