Outsiders?

[thorionthei]

Tony how many issues of the Outsiders are you doing?

Is the title going to restart as Batman & The Outsiders?

[Azrael52]

I'm glad to see someone other than Winnick writing Outsiders. Nothing against him, it's just that the man has pretty much written the entire series. I'd like to see someone like Tony's take on the Characters.

[Tony Bedard]

Stand by for major announcements from DC concerning this topic...

Hope you get the permenant Batman and the Outsiders gig, Tony.:D Being able to play with a diverse group of characters must be cool. Add Batman and your an order of magnitude beyond cool

Looks cool!

[Question_Authority]

Grats on getting the gig! Hmm they called you an aquisition, must make you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.:D ;)

[Superheroic]

Not thrilled with Koi Turnbull on the art though. We'll see...

[Rev. F. David Swallow II]

No love for Koi?

I enjoy his art, i wouldn't call it the best, but i think its good.

Congrats on the gig Tony, I'm not going to lie, i dont read DC, but i love the fact that you are getting much love from them!

[Azrael52]

Can't wait for this to come out. I like that Batman will be dual-membershiped (new word?) with Outsiders and JLA. Sounds great. I want to know if the Catwoman on the solicit image is Selina or Holly.

[Johnny_Luck]

Yeah its looking more and more like Tony's ideas were a one hit wonder with the Black canary mini. His ideas for supergirl sound and played out awful in 20

Then it looks like there will be no Boomer(which he has no control over(I can get that, but then he kicks an awesome character like Thunder off the team in order to put a Mediocre joke of MM on.)

Next we'll probably see Grace leave and then there won't be anyone left from the old team and no one worth picking up the book for.(well shift but he was only worth it when Indigo was around.)

I mean it was bad enough when Indigo was killed, then starfire and arsenal left, now grace, boomer and Thunder.

In there place we get Catwoman, aquaman and MM real outsiders because they have failed to be written well either since the beginning of time(AMan) or for a long while like(MM and Catwoman)

Now unless Grace, Thunder and such get their own books they'll get stranded and/or killed while I puke at the sight of the new team.

I mean if DC wanted to give Bedard the book they should have set some limits, one being don't get rid of all the cool people from the old team and and then just create a new team out of thin air with crap you want to try and make popular and then call it the same name as the team before. As its clearly not even close to anything of the goodness outsiders has been since Winick picked up the handle)

[Captain Jim]

Johnny, did it ever occur to you that your opinions are just that...your opinions. It's irritating the way you state them as gospel truth. It's cool that you loved Winick and his team, but you know what? There are a lot of other people who didn't like them. That doesn't make you wrong, but it doesn't make the others wrong either. Give us all a break, and chill out!

[Tony Bedard]

Ah, it's okay, folks. Johnny Luck is actually right. Black Canary was the only good work I'll ever do for DC...on purpose.

It all springs from the burning resentment I've carried in my heart since I worked on staff in DCU editorial. One day in the office, I found that my lunch had been stolen from the office fridge! And on that day, a master plan for revenge was born...

I left the company and spent a couple years writing for CrossGen to establish my writer cred. Then I went to Marvel, not because I enjoyed it, but with the sole purpose of making DC notice me. It was all so I could get an exclusive at DC, tease them with a decent story on Black Canary, and then destroy every other book I could get my hands on! :evilsmile

Just wait till my 4 issues of Birds of Prey! You'll be calling 'em "Turds of Prey" by the time I'm through with 'em...


PS: Johnny Luck, to be honest I enjoyed your post. You obviously feel strongly on the matter and you got it off your chest. No prob. I will point out that some of the assumptions you're making are premature, and I hope you'll be around to be pleasantly surprised by the way BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS unfolds. But even if you aren't, I don't mind a little heartfelt venting on the boards now and then.

Then it looks like there will be no Boomer(which he has no control over(I can get that, but then he kicks an awesome character like Thunder off the team in order to put a Mediocre joke of MM on.)

The Martian Manhunter is a joke now? or Mediocre?

This is new information for me:rolleyes:

Martian Manhunter is royalty amongst DC fans, actually, comic books love him:)

This is gospel.

But the post-IC version of MM is a shame.
