Since the DC Universe was relaunched a little over a year ago following the events of Flashpoint, there have been groups of fans who have had largely the same complaints more or less nonstop.Batgirls Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain are gone–and not just absent, but apparently written completely and expressly out of the timeline in spite of the fact that Batman was never properly rebooted and so it doesn’t particularly make any sense for them to have done so.Wally West and Donna Troy, former sidekicks who stepped up to shape their own heroic legacies following Crisis on Infinite Earths, are similarly missing from the universe, and repeated inquiries at comic book conventions and online have yielded increasingly adamant claims by DC editors that those characters and others like them–not least of all former Blue Beetle Ted Kord–weren’t going to return anytime soon and that their supporters should just calm down and wait for them to appear in the course of the storytelling.
