Williams and Blackman leave "Batwoman"

After some serious editorial changes, "Batwoman" writers J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman have announced they are leaving the series after issue 26. Apparently, they were prohibited from writing about Batwoman getting married with her girlfriend, Maggie.

"Unfortunately, in recent months, DC has asked s to alter or completely discard many long-standing storylines in ways that we feel compromise the character and the series. we were told to ditch plans for Killer Croc's origins; forced to drastically alter the original ending of the current arc, which would have defined Batwoman's  heroic future in bold new ways; and, most crushingly, prohibited from ever showing Kate and Maggie actually getting married. All of these editorial decisions came at the last minute, and as always after a year or more of planning and plotting on our end" stated the creative team.

It isn't the first time DC has lost writers because of editorial changes. DC should change editors or give writers more freedom with their series.
