    A Boner for Barbara: The Truth About What Happened at SDCC 2012

    After last year’s excitement, it was a sure bet I’d be taking another four-day tour of San Diego Comic-Con 2012. There is a great deal to write about, but first and foremost, I want to clear up several pieces of misinformation and misreporting floating around.Stephanie Brown as Nightwing, one possible future from issue 24 of Bryan Q. Miller's run on "Batgirl".

    Earlier this year, it was announced that a favorite character of mine, Stephanie Brown, would be appearing in Bryan Q. Miller’s Smallville season 11 comic series as Nightwing. (For those of you who are confused, at the end of Miller’s run on Batgirl, she appeared as Nightwing in a ‘possible future’ style panel.) Now, I’ll be honest: I think Bryan Q. Miller is a fabulous writer, but I’d stopped watching the television show Smallville after the second season and never had much interest in going back.  I didn’t plan on following the comic series.

    All that changed when I read that Stephanie Brown would be appearing in it, especially as Nightwing. Then and there, I went to Comixology and purchased every back issue in digital format, an easy decision at the low price point of 99 cents (see my musings on the silly price structure of digital comics here). My plan was to let the issues collect in my queue until the issue introducing Stephanie was released, and then start reading the comic from the beginning.

    On Thursday, the first full day of San Diego Comic-Con, a friend passed on the rumor that Stephanie was being pulled out of the Smallville comic in a last-minute change. I looked it up on my smartphone: sure enough, Bleeding Cool had published said rumor; moreover, the art was being re-colored and the dialogue changed to turn Stephanie Brown into Barbara Gordon.

    I desperately wanted to know if the rumor was true. Of all places, I imagined Comic-Con would be the place to find someone at DC to confirm or deny it.  [Read More]
