Oh oh oh THE ZSASZ ISSUE. 'tec 796. Here is a ridiculously complete list of major arcs, and all appearances are listed in a different section of the wiki.
Renee... um. Her stuff in NML with Two-Face is kind of epic, but also pretty skeevy, especially with the retcon of her sexuality taken into account, especially especially since it led into the Half a Life arc in Gotham Central where she was outed. Officer Down is kind of big for her? Her willingness to kill a suspect they couldn't prove did it led into her actions in the whole thing with Corrigan in that War Games and so forth ack-nasty that had her quitting the force because she was walking too many dirty-cop lines.
None of which are celebratory per se BUT it is important to understand who she was before The Question to really be able to go SEE SHE IS SO AWESOME for having pulled herself back out of the spiral she was in. I would have to at least skim those in a talk. 52 is... well, it's 52, so.
I really kind of have no idea what all was going on with the Crime Bible Blood... stuff. *hands* And then there was the Spectre thing with her dead partner coming to kill her for being the leader of the evil cult Order of the Stone and purifying the Spear of Destiny and then the Black Lantern mess with yet another dead friend, and... yeah. Do not even know, man.
She's apparently in the Birds now, though? Which is nice. The Huntress runs the Birds now and got her to join after they worked together a few times.
For me, the big thing about Renee is just how broken-down Gotham's corruption made her, how much it wore at the good, if reckless and angry, cop she'd been until the only thing she thought she had was a bottle. And then she pulled herself back out of that into a detective that Batman calls in for assistance with creepy evil cults.
If I started talking about Steph, I would never shut up ever, so I'm going to hush at this point.
