NYCC: Batman Panel - Stephanie Brown's Return Revealed
Andreyko said he just finished the "Zero Year" issue of "Batwoman," showing "the seeds of the woman who will eventually become Batwoman." In the arc starting with issue #26, Andreyko -- while praising the work of the book's previous creative team, J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman -- said he'll be "reintroducing a classic Bat-villain who hasn't been seen yet."

NYCC Talks LGBTQ In Comics With Parent, Liu, Bernatovech, Pak And Ketchum
We started off with a fun YouTube video arranged by Geeks OUT, where LGBTQ fans, including YouTube’s own Gay Comic Geek, discussed their favourite openly LGBTQ characters. Characters ranged from the expected, like Batwoman, Rictor, Northstar, Wiccan and Hulkling, to the somewhat more erotic Naked Justice from Class Comics, and the humorous addition of Jughead from Archie Comics.
The panel as a whole was then asked what they’re view was on the controversial DC decision to not allow Batwoman and her lover to marry, and that all marriages are nixed by editorial edict at DC. This led to a heated discussion, though it seemed that everyone, panel and fans alike, came down on one side of the argument: as Marjorie Liu stated, “It’s lazy storytelling.” which led to massive applause.
“It’s [marriage] not a happy ending, it’s just another step on the journey. Everything’s too simple then [with marriage not an option], the complexity is completely taken out”
Bernatovech felt that DC alienated a lot of readers with the New 52 as a whole, and that the marriage debate alienated more, and no one on the panel agreed that a superhero needs to be miserable, or DC’s decision as a whole, though Greg Pak (who of course also works at DC) did point out that if you did do it, and a character was ‘too happy’ it’d soon get turned over.
