J.H. Williams Says DC Remains ‘Firmly Committed’ to Batwoman

Following our breaking news that Greg Rucka's will be departing from DC Comics and will not be writing the "Batwoman" comic, his "Detective Comics" collaborator J.H. Willliams III weighed in on the announcement on his blog today, echoing the sadness expressed many fans that Rucka will not be continuing to tell the story of Kate Kane:

"I was afraid something like this was going to occur but held out hope that it wouldn't happen. That DC and Greg could come to some sort of agreement, apparently not going to happen. So what does this mean for Batwoman and the project I've spent a decent amount of time and thought on? I don't know. I do know that DC is firmly committed to this character from what I here from them. So where does all of this leave us? I believe DC will want the character to continue somehow. In what form? I'm not sure, but she'll be back, I'm sure of it. This character has too much potential to just go by the wayside. So we should be hearing some sort of news at the appropriate time I assume."
