"I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"
"*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."
Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!
My interest is picked because I’ve been wanting good Outsiders and Batwoman books for ages.
I’m not so sure what to think about the Planetary similarities. The concept itself if okay, but I don’t know if Outsiders is the best book for it (Challengers of the Unknown had similar themes for example) and if it makes sense to have two Bat-characters in this role. If they’re investigating hidden histories of the DCU and dealing with crisis aftermaths, wouldn’t it make more sense to have some characters with some actual experience with archeology/exploration or who have been more involved in the events they’re investigating? Metamorpho, Hawkgirl, Donna Troy come to mind as more logical fits.
I’m also tired of every recent Outsiders run being so focused on Bat-characters. Say what you will about Winnick’s run, but at least The Outsiders felt like an important and independent team then.
Since we know we’re not getting something closer to the typical Outsiders cast (Katana, Black Lightning, Metamorpho), I hope the series is at least good and different enough from Planetary to justify appropriating an unrelated name.
Always happy to have more Luke.
(Ignoring that appearance as "The Fox"(?) or whatever that was).
I can't be the only person to wonder why in the world this book wouldn't also be a good place
to have Flamebird or current ID join.

The write up on DC's site confirms that this will feature a new version of The Dummer. So definitely a Planetary successor.
Doesn't really sounds like Outsiders at al, since that is usually supposed more of black ops team (even if the book has imo often not really delivered on that).
Seems a bit like they just slapped a name of somewhat know Batman related team on the book, since it is a team up of mostly batman characters.

The homages are pretty overt but I’m down to see how they handle it. Stuff like Planetary did a great job playing like long standing tropes aim curious to how an in universe version would play out. Really glad to see Luke here. He’s a super genius and she’s well connected military brat. Not to mention their wealth they can cover a lot of ground between them. I was kinda hoping Jace and Katanna would do something with a new Outsiders team but I’ll give this a shot.
