Great minds think alike.
An Outsiders team lead by Tim Drake? that could be interesting.
You could make Halo take on a new body. She is basically a being of light residing inside a human body.Throw in an Artemis Crock perhaps, and then some of the classic Outsiders that are a little more youthful - Halo would be the obvious choice, but Geo-Force is a pretty young man as well. Boom, there's a solid line-up of seven with interesting backgrounds. I mean it's not the most ethnically diverse line-up of characters. Like, when Bart Allen is your most diverse cast-member because he's from the Future, that's not maybe a good cross-section. But I mean, if they Young Justice TV Artemis to be half-Vietnamese like Cheshire, they'd cover a little ground.
Miss Martian for the final/secret/ace-in-the-hole member, for sure.
Let's see how it developts in Young Justice.
There is already a way. there are so many characters than deserve to return...then I'd want to have Looker, Katana (who I actually feel is a bit wasted in SUICIDE SQUAD), Cass Cain and Conner Hawke (I just want him back!). I'd also like to find a way to bring back Grace and Thunder.
Cheers.
James.

She's been leading a Batfamily team in Detective Comics, the starting roster having Cass, Steph, Tim and Clayface, with JPV and Luke having since taken Tim and Steph's spots, the roster remaining stable since January.
Of course, with Tim returning and Steph likely not too far behind, I'm really hoping that she'll just go away. She has a solo; her fans wouldn't exactly be getting screwed over.
Honestly, The Outsiders should have been the team Batman put together instead of the PC squad of Justice League of America (seriously, I like many of the team members, such as Vixen and Atom - both of them -, for exemple, but see no other reason for that team to exist other than PC propaganda, and there is even a story to be told with a PC propaganda team, however, I don't see Batman as being the guy behind such team). Batman and the Outsiders – Post Rebirth: Not quite Justice League level of power, yet, far more than simple vigilantes, the Outsiders are the ones Batman calls upon when dealing with meta-human threats and when he does not wish to involve the League. No rigid team structure, no headquarters, no training together. The Outsiders are mostly unknown meta-humans that come together when Batman requires them.
Batman – Whenever he needs more muscle, but doesn’t want to involve the League, Batman resorts to his handpicked Outsiders team.
Black Lightning – Field team leader in Batman’s absence. Decathlon Olympic medalist Jefferson Pierce wields the power of the lightning when combating crime and is a high-school teacher by day.
Halo – Teenager Gabriele Doe has no memory of who she is nor of where the incredible powers that her multicolored auras give her came from. With nothing else to do, and nowhere else to go, Gaby sticks with the Outsiders and studies in the same school where Jefferson Pierce teaches.
Looker – When she was attacked by a vampire, Lia Briggs’s incredible psionic powers were awakened preventing her from being transformed into a full-fledged undead vampire. She is still super-strong and hard to damage, especially at night, and her mental powers allow her to survive under the sun. The club she owns, “The Looker’s Point”, becomes the unofficial meeting place for the team and Lia is made the official guardian of Halo by the Batman.
Faust – The son of criminal sorcerer Felix Faust, and no slouch on the sorcery department himself, Sebastian Faust becomes the team’s expert in the occult. He works as a bartender at The Looker’s Point.
Rac Shade, the Changing Man – The cop from Meta, stuck on Earth hunting criminals from his home-dimension. Coming from a highly developed technological society, Shade is the tech expert of the team, and the force-field generation and gravity manipulating abilities his advanced vest gives him make him one of the team’s heaviest-hitters.

I thought that's what the Justice League of America was.
First, I never said she couldnt, just that you were mistaken on her not currently being on any teams.
And personally, I really wouldn't want that. As fans, we all have our biases (Except for maybe Frontier) and I do not care for Kate at all. I don't wish limbo or death on her, because that has happened / is still a thing for most of my favorites, but I also don't want much of her. She is a character who currently has a leading role in a team book, a solo book, and a role in Bombshells, while also receiving a strong general push throughout Rebirth. With all the characters, both within the Batverse and DCU at large, who only have a fraction or NONE of what she has, she's definitely not a character that needs ANOTHER book

the original line ups were mostly a mix of mature (Bats, Katana, Metamorpho, and BL) and younger heroes (Halo, Geo-Force). Later addtions also were mixed (Windfall and Faust as young, Eradicator as a old guy); The post Graduation Day Ousiders were mostly youngs (adult) heroes, until the old outsiders started to join back.
And that is the idea of a new line up of "New" Outsiders, bring a new different membership andmission is always fun.
You are welcome.Thank you for this, haven't read this interview.

My Line up
Grace Choi - Same deal as last time minus the Amazon nonsense.
Koryak - The son of Aquaman and Kako. Prefers to keep it under wraps due to the reprecusions of said knowledge becoming public.
Thunder And Lightning - Jefferson Pierce's daughters.
Gavin King - Revived early on in the series.
Jean-Paul Valley - Atoner
Connor Hawke
Onyx Addams
Nyssa Ratko
Ryuku Orsono
Pantha - Rosabelle Mendez (Pantha) finds herself sharing a soul with a Jaguar Olmec god. Together the two become a were jaguar, a powerful creature in the battle against evil.
Or maybe the writers genuinely thought they'd make a good team? I don't see why you can't make a diverse team without making a big deal of it in the story.

I wouldn't mind seeing some fresh faces in the mix, but I hope if a new Outsiders team does form, Katana is a part of it. I enjoy her in Suicide Squad well enough, but her presence there nevertheless feels forced to me. Which makes sense, since her presence in the film also felt forced, and I'm sure that's the only reason they migrated her to the team in the comics as well.
I don't want to sound ungrateful, though; I'm glad she has a place to appear every month. I'd just prefer that place be a book titled The Outsiders.
