Skwirl posted:Also Northstar and what's his face. This one is the funniest in regards to DC loving up. There was media surrounding Northstar getting married and a lot of positive press. DC could have done the same thing. It was pretty much set up for them completely. Instead they suck so hard that they nixed the whole thing due to their stupid policy which ended up biting them in the arse as people thought they were against gay people getting married.

zoux posted:Who were they going to have get married? Batwoman and Sawyer (I think her name is Sawyer). edit: Beaten edit 2: Basically the writers had been working towards Kane and Sawyer getting married which would be a big deal because lesbian comic book character in a mainstream comic is getting married to her partner. DC remembers that they have an absolutely no-one is to get married ever rule and tells the writers no. Writers are displeased with this and publicly leave the book. Even though this idiotic editorial rule applies to all marriages across the board, the public at large hear about DC not wanting two gay characters to get married and there was a bit of blowback thrown at DC's way. I swear DC is so loving adamant against marriage at this point that for their next big event the big baddie should be a loving wedding.

Did they nix the marriage through killing one of the characters, or just editorially?

Batwoman was going to get gay married to a cop but DC nixed it and did it so abruptly the writer and artist quit, and it looked like DC was objecting to the gay thing at first. It turns out they just hate all marraiges, the King and Queen of Atlantis aren't even loving married.

Most annoyingly, they said they would finish the arc (2-3 more issues), but DC told them not to bother and put on a new team and started a new arc before it could be wrapped up.

There were other changes, too. The marriage thing was the last straw, and they were most annoyed by DC changing their minds last minute after approving the initial ideas.

It was in this comic that it came out that she was a lesbian (thanks to Harvey Dent of all people). Anyway, she had an amazing growth as a character in that series. Then she had even more of an amazing growth as a character when she became the Question in 52, when Vic Sage died. She had a few adventures of her own as the Question, and it also came out that she used to be lovers with current Batwoman. Then Nu52 happened and she was erased from existence.

She was also one of the few characters to originate in Batman: The Animated Series and then get migrated over to the comics.

Soonmot posted:Well, I think Reed and Sue are the only Marvel marriage now. Spidey sold his to the devil, Storm and Panther split during AvX, Mockingbird was a skrull when she marries/divorced Hawkeye. I can't think of any other Marvel marriages. Maybe Kazaar and Shana? Black Bolt and Medusa? Black Bolt and Medusa are married, yeah. They're probably gonna have some relationship issues once Medusa finds out that Black Bolt's been faking his own death and crashing with the Illuminati in Wakanda rather than spending time with her, but they're married for now. In fact, Black Bolt has 5 wives after Hickman's FF (although I don't think we've ever really seen much of the other 4)
