Unlike The doubt who has only appeared in a mates of comics post - fresh 52 , in stories that may no longer be canyon , Renee has bulge out up beforeBatwoman # 17 . Renee made her first abbreviated appearance in Batwoman # 1 , back in 2011 . Outside of a few appearance inDetective Comicsthough , Renee has been mostly on the outskirts of DC persistence . This is untilBatwoman # 17which put Renee ( and her relationship with Kate Kane ) very much front - and - center .
When GCPD home office is round , Batwoman launches into action to help save Renee . Renee does n’t demand much rescuing , she ’s still as capable as ever . However Batwoman ’s treatment does start the two former / potential succeeding girlfriend work a case together . The case , which involves a mysterious new drug and a scoundrel will a preoccupation with time , has Renee and Kate get as near as they ’ve been physically and emotionally in years .
There ’s all the heavy flirting and banter that ’s typical between Renee and Kate , or at least used to be distinctive . Renee and Kate ’s former romance , which ended because Renee was n’t out of the closet , is still a part of DC canyon . Yet the fundamental interaction between the two characters have been very minimum post - Flashpoint . This is why there ’s a lot of reason to get excited about their squad - up in the pages ofBatwoman # 17 , especially asBatwoman is getting a scrap of popularity rush with her coming to the Arrowverse next season .
InBatwoman # 17 , Renee is very much the grapheme that fans should remember in the pre - Flashpoint era of DC Comics . She ’s chic , tearing and the perfect counterweight to Batwoman . If Renee and her family relationship with Batwoman is scram such a spotlight inBatwoman # 17 , it ’s reasonable to assume that The Question ca n’t be that far behind .
Batwoman # 17isn’t the only evidence that DC could prepare to douse their toe back into the waters of Renee Montoya as The Question . CurrentSupermanwriter , Brian Michael Bendiswas asked on Twitter if he ’d ever consider publish The enquiry . Bendis reply by revealing that plans are already in motion for The Question to appear inactiveness Comics # 1005 .
It ’s very possible that The Question that evince up in Superman ’s adventures will be the original faceless private eye , Vic Sage . Renee Montoya took over the place of The Question AFTER Vic died of Crab . However , Bendis create Marvel’sJessica Jonesand he has a foresighted chronicle of write acerbic , witty and grizzled female detectives . Renee Montoya as The Question would make far more sense and be more " on stain " for Bendis than Vic Sage .
Even if Renee does n’t become The Question again , Batwoman # 17suggests that the futurity is very burnished for Batwoman and Renee reuniting as a crime - fighting couple in some capacity . Renee Montoya does n’t need to be The Question to work alongside superheroes .
Batwoman # 17is available now fromDC Comics .
