	Hmmm...now that you brought it up, I just now noticed Batwoman's book isn't even participating in the Night of the Owls event. I guess it sort of makes sense considering what her story arc is at the moment. Same with Huntress. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Yup, she did. More specifically she turned down his offer to join Batman, Inc. I don't know if this affects her status as a batfamily member, but either way she has her hands full at the moment. :/ (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	why still beyond me government basically said they would ruin her family, Bette, and her dad, and if there is anything Kate honors more than honor itself it's her family. While working with them, they make sure Bette Lives and her father stays out of trouble for helping a vigilante... (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	The writers turned down the tie in, so I don't think it's on purpose by Snyder. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Actually, I assumed it meant good things for her book, in that it didn't need the sales boost of the tie-in. Plus, Batwoman was announced prior to the reboot, and probably had a set storyline, which of course would be interrupted if lagging sales required such. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	DC gave the all the Batman writers the option of whether to participate in the event or not to. Because Batwoman was in the middle of a story arc the writers decided against a crossover. She was not openly ignored, her writers were given the option. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

Which I think is fantastic. This really is a crossover done right. You've got one writer writing a big story, and setting up possibilities for others to participate, but not necessarily for the big picture, so the other writers are given their own choice whether or not they want to join in. If they have their own thing building, they're not obligated to. Honestly, that's the best way to handle these things.
