Veteran Bat-book writer Chuck Dixon may have come late to the game but he told CBR News, fear not, he is making "Batman and the Outsiders" his very own.

I'd rather have J'onn stay and have Grace leave.

I wish that he was keeping Catwoman and J'onn on the team, but I guess if other fav characters like Geo-Force and Green Arrow are joining the team (by the way, thanks for spoiling those additions Dixon) then I'll still give it a try.

Damn, that sucks :( J'onn was my biggest deciding factor on picking this up. He better be joining the JLA then...
Having Martian Manhunter just sit in limbo is extremely stupid, imho.Oh my god, Canon! *masturbates furiously*

I dropped the Winick version of the Outsiders shortly after sampling and had no intention of picking up this new version... until Dixon was announced on the book. Having a professional who tells great, original stories like Mr. Dixon adds a certain stamp of authenticity to the book. His ideas sound very compelling and exciting so I'm on board.
Gee, how quickly things can change. From not buying to must buy.

I rather have Thunder Leave and Jonn stay because Bruce and Ollie may get on each others nerves without some outsider who can seperate them. :(
Besides I hate to admit it but Thunder's powers are just stupid to be used in battle. :(

No idea Chuck was on this book. Too bad Catwoman is leaving. It would be a blast seeing him write her again. By the way with what issue does he start?

I've never ever read any Outsiders stuff. Do you think that this might be at all confusing based on that? Or is it going to be mostly new stuff?

Batgirl? Man I had finally given up on DC doing anything with Cassandra. Now they wave this in front of me. *sigh* Fine, I'll bite just one more time. Let's see what becomes of it.

I am very much looking forward to this series and having Dixon back on a Batbook. While I was really looking forward to seeing Catwoman on a super-hero team for the first time, I feel that Batgirl is a better choice because Catwoman already has her own series. I can't wait to see Batgirl back in a regular book again and hope Dixon is able to redeem her character.
