The Outlaws!

[georgethecat]

Soooo Jason has an ONGOING! WOOOO~

Writer Scott Lobdell said the newest Outlaw is going to be a young black male character. Who do you think it is? Do you think it's someone new? (CONNOR HAWKE??!?! ahhhhhh that would be awesome) So exciting!

I was surprised about Kory/Starfire being on the team since she seems like a little bit of an odd fit, but from the interviews it sounds like it's going to be good.
I'm also hoping they'll add another lady to the team! OK, so hear me out, here's a few ladies who I think would make excellent additions to the team. Tell me what you think!

Talia al Ghul and/or Amanda Waller: as behind the scenes, pulling strings or benefactors. Amanda has already run the Suicide Squad and she has no regular spot in comics. Roy's already dealt with Amanda, IIRC. Talia already has a complicated relationship with Jason.

Grace Choi and/or Scandal Savage: for general ass-kickery. Both are serious badasses. Grace has already been on a team with Roy and she'd bring her girlfriend, Anissa, to hang out. And Scandal, well, she doesn't have a book now that Secret Six is done

Onyx Adams and/or Cass Cain: Both have martial arts skills. Onyx has already interacted with Jason in Under the Hood and Cass is Jason's adopted sister.

Rose Wilson and/or Mia Dearden: For their general awesomeness! Rose used to babysit Lian and has tried to be supportive/understanding to Roy; and she's flirted with Jason briefly; Mia is Roy's little sister and Jason believes she and he have a lot in common.

What do you guys think? Any others you'd add?

I hadn't heard that Lobdell was going to add another character, and I'd LOVE for it to be Connor to be honest. I can't see them putting two archers on the team for some reason, but if it is Connor I would love it. And I really like the idea of Talia or Waller being included, plus it would work for a group of outlaws since Batman or no one else can really associate with them in the public eye.

I'd love for Grace to join the team, and Cass would also be an awesome fit but I think my favorite nominee would be Ravager. I think she'd fit perfectly, she has history with Roy, brief history with Jason plus she was a Teen Titan. And she's another character that has a strong tie to Nightwing, which of course is going to come into play considering everyone else on the team is either a like a brother to Dick or dated him.

I'd really love for Wally to join the team, since he needs a spot and this apparently is Team Red Head, unless they retcon Jason again to have his Black Hair with the white streak, which I would approve of.

[georgethecat]

ahahahhaha if Grace & Wally join it really WILL be Team RedHead. I'd LOVE to see more Grace, I think she's awesome and I would be really happy if they continue her relationship with Anissa, and have her make appearances, even if Anissa isn't fighting or anything.

I know there may not be room for another archer, but Connor would be so awesome. Plus, he just has such a different personality from the rest, so it would make for such an interesting dynamic.

Rose on the team would be hot xD She would flirt with everyone! But I guess she will be in Deathstroke's book??? HRM.

I really just want Connor and Mia to show up at some point. They are both awesome and also I'm a big fan of Jason & Mia hanging out. They're homies!

Agreed! That Jason series is the DC reboot comic I am MOST looking forward to! It's actually the series that turned my whole attitude about the reboot around!

A young black male character, hmm? I just hope they don't de-age Black Lightning or something... I'd LOVE it if it was Connor, me and JT were JUST talking about him the other day! Ollie seems to be about the same age, so if Bruce has a bunch of Robins and a son, why can't Ollie have a kid too? As for the two archers on one team deal, maybe they could keep Connor's strength slightly enhanced and have him serve as the powerhouse/kick ass fighter.

Let's see, I'd go Connor, Ravager(because she's awesome!), Huntress... Huntress hasn't been mentioned elsewhere, has she? Plus I'd love to see her strike up a romance with Jason!

[JT]

I've been lobbying for a Huntress/Jason hook up for a while now, she'd be an awesome fit for the team too. Hell, she even has a past with Roy, unless they retconned that. Rumor is, most of the Earth-2 people haven't been used because their phasing them out, hence the lack of Power Girl, the JSA and Huntress, but I hope that's not true.

[X]

Um, no Huntress means I riot!

[DemonHunterCole]

I'm glad for this series; however, I will be pissed off if they remove all Earth-2 people. That just doesn't make sense. If DC is going to include a young black guy, then my first guess is the new Aquaboy who never made it into the Teen Titans before the reboot. The only other two I can think of are Cyborg (de-aged?) or Static, but the later has his only series so it doesn't make sense.

[JT]

That's a good point Cole, I'd actually forgotten about Jackson that fast...

[X]

So did DC apparently!

In RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS, Kenneth Rocafort and I will be introducing a young African-American who takes the name Crux — he’s made a lot of sacrifices in his effort to become the first best line of defense against hostile alien life on Earth. But all his previous notions of the dangers of aliens are challenged when he meets and almost defeats Starfire
