About 
James Tynion IV was asked if he would write the X-Men as a horror comic, and he was measured in his response, at least, initially.

Alysia Yeoh Returns To Batgirls With Her Own Bar/Cafe
Alysia Yeoh was a DC Comics character meant to have appeared in the now-shelved Batgirl movie, portrayed by Ivory Aquino. She would have been the first trans character in a DC live-action projects and played by a trans actress as well. The character was created by Gail Simone and Ardian Syaf for the Batgirl comic book series in 2011, as Barbara Gordon's best friend in Batgirl #1, revealed to be trans in #19. At the time that made her the first major transgender character written in a contemporary context in a mainstream superhero comic book. The first ever transgender wedding in a superhero comic followed a few years later, in Batgirl #45, from Brenden Fletcher, Cameron Stewart and Becky Cloonan when Alysia married her then-girlfriend Jo Muñoz.
So, as well as disappointment in the all-but-completed Batgirl movie being sent to the cornfield, there was also disappointment in Alysia Yeoh not making it to the screen either.
However, she is is returning more prominently in the new Batgirls comic book series, with Batgirls #9 out on Tuesday, by Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad and Neil Googe. Previously an activist by day, bartender by night, with an ambition to be a professional chef. Now it seems she has achieved that ambition and more, with Truffles…
Could Truffles become a regular hangout spot for the Gotham-niverse? Joining Bat Burger, Bamonte's Restaurant or Pauli's Diner?
