New 52

With the beginning of the New 52, the DC Universe’s continuity was reset. This effectively wiped Bumblebee’s history clean and removed her from the DC Universe.

Karen Beecher returned through the Titans Hunt series, which also brought back many other members of the original Titans (Reading Order).

Rebirth

The Rebirth era directly continues Karen Beecher's story from the Titans Hunt series and develops on the changes made within that comic.

Her appearances in this era are confined within the Titans series. In this series, she takes on a more direct role with the Titans (Reading Order). She also begins to reclaim some pieces of her previously-retconned Bumblebee identity.
