agree. it's like DC demoted her on purpose and I'm not sure why.
Also, regardless of how good the writing is, I don't think reviving the origin of her as a prostitute was good for the character. it opens the character to abuse from writers less sympathetic to the character (Morrison, reading his panel on Selina in the post RIP recap is like nails on chalkboard to me) and really limits her appeal to a smaller segment of readers. Book sales never really recovered to the nineties level in this third series, did it?
