I'd really like to see this one come back. Reposition "The Newsboys" as the "News Kids", and turn them from paper vendors into orphans using streaming media to expose crime and corruption in Suicide Slum.
But if you make them orphans, where do they live? Do they have foster/adoptive families, or do they live in a home/orphanage?
How do they get all the equipment they would need to start their own streaming media site?
Would "orphans" have the right equipment? Who would pay for their monthly equipment/service fees?
I was actually focusing more on the equipment-side of things, since all those devices and the online access to have a streaming media site would start to add up for the four (or more) kids, especially depending on who is sponsoring all of them.
It's not the old days, like when a buddy of mine got additional premium cable services for his parents for free by climbing up a telephone pole, opening the outside cable box and removing the filters that blocked access to things like HBO and stuff that his parents hadn't signed up for.
Hence, the initial thieving, then maybe crowdsourced funding? Yeah, I know, that's harder than I make it sound, but comics let Batman build an entire next-gen technology cave fortress - capable of launching and recovering jets, no less - under his house without anybody noticing. Pretty sure we could get a readership to sit still for the Legion figuring out a way to get resourced.
