DC Did Something Right Today: Stephanie Brown to Return

And Scott Snyder is the one to bring her back.

Source: CBR

Every convention DC seems to get asked when Stephanie Brown is coming back and today they actually had an answer.

"We know that they're characters that you guys have been really vocal about, Your guys' love of Stephanie Brown has been so inspiring to us. We're really proud to announce that she'll be coming back in [new weekly series 'Batman: Eternal'], in a big way. Dan DiDio is in the audience to yell at us for telling you that.

Snyder went on to say that no one wanted to permanently shelf the character; they were simply waiting for the right time to reintroduce her. Snyder protegee James Tynion IV, one of the co-writers for Eternal, was the one who came up with the idea of how to bring her back.

Hospitals nationwide should prepare for an influx of victims of Toxic Character Poisoning Syndrome.

Beat me to it :lol:

Newsarama's article further states:

Snyder said with a smile: "Tynion found a way to bring Spoiler into the story and into the New 52, and it's really perfect." She'll be appearing in Batman: Eternal #3 and will be a central character to the series.

DC is run by bitches if they truly bowed down to the internet like this.

I'd rather have had a version of Cassandra Cain though, until she started to talk that book was brilliant. Stephanie Brown is and always was utter shit.

Pretty sure she is the daughter of "tough as nails" FYI journalist, Murphy Brown.

Batman: Eternal will obviously be about Stephanie's attempt at following in her mother's footsteps as a hard hitting internet blogger covering the truths of the mystery surrounding Batman.

Stephanie had her moments (though her best were with Damian, Kara, Cassandra, and Tim), now bring back Cassandra and restore Hank Henshaw as the one true Cyborg Superman.

Was really hoping they wouldn't. I like the character too much, and in New52 she's open to mischaracterization, abuse and of course a death or two

On the plus the only way she can be is if she appears as a straight up villain and DC pulls a Robin OYL with her ala Cassandra Cain. I doubt that's gonna happen. Though I have a feeling what you will get is the Stephanie from the early era of her aka very accident prone and the rookie. That might stir the hornets' nest. The later, you got a good point.

Part of me hopes and I pray to the comic gods that we just get a book with Tim, Cass, and Stephanie. Two of the three sold in the mid to high 30,000 the later late 20,000. The three mix well together and really it's a win win for DC if they are did it. plus it A.) Tim back in the Bat Books. B,) Have a student of Snyder's write him. C.) Said student twists a better origin then what we got in TT #0.

*SMACK*

No. NO!

I am cautiously optimistic. Nice to have word Steph is coming back, but DC's track record for "revisions" has been lousy at best. It's possible they've learned from their mistakes, but I've little reason to believe that.
