Batwoman Resignations: The Age Pattern

As suspected, part of a larger pattern:

Since there's this ongoing "concern" about characters looking too old, a lot of longstanding marriages of other characters got retconned away by the Flashpoint mini-series back in 2011.

This looks to be just part of a continuing pattern. If it's not ageism on their part in itself, it's fear of the ageism lurking in the hearts of their readership (and in the case of TV and cinema spinoff projects, viewership as well).

There's a lot of reasons why I picked up Astro City...and I'm thinking this is one of them.
