I seen this and I wanna believe, I really do, but DC has demonstrated over and over that creators can promise the world and still not deliver; sometimes even if they want to deliver, you never know when DC's gonna pull the leash. i actually do like Bryan Hill, I think he is a solid writer, but his Outsiders run hasn't been without it's issues - the main thing being it's pacing. he has had some legitimately promising issues but sometimes it's like he's kinda spinning his wheels and having these characters talk about a lot of the same stuff over and over with superficial-feeling payoff, or in service of a pay off down the road. It's an issue that highlights his television background, he's playing to the next episode, which is fine in television because it's a weekly basis usually but comic issues are too spread out to be so overtly decompressed to the point of thinning out the momentum. if he does get a season 2 (which I hope for, if for no other reason than to see more from one of DC's most diverse titles and creative teams)
he needs to find a better build-up/pay-off balance, and for the love of god drop or pull back on Batman and let Black Lightning play that dominant role. Batman should be M, not Bond.
I have no real issue with them needing to link up with the old Outsiders (it's a different incarnation of the team that's like 50% old members anyway) so much as I would like to see them dealing with characters from the wider DC universe in general. even still, they've had some pretty interesting appearances: we've had Lady Shiva, Ras al Ghul, Superman, Martian Manhunter - which is pretty good considering how large the cast is.
