So it might just be a story of redemption. I agree with Lobdell that Roy and Jason makes sense but I feel like he'll have to reboot Kori to make it work.
Jason Todd
Character » Jason Todd appears in 1755 issues.
Jason Todd was the second Robin, until he was brutally murdered by the Joker. After he was resurrected, Jason learned Batman didn't avenge his death. Anguished and seeking vengeance, he initially turned against his mentor and father figure and took on the Clown Prince's former identity: the Red Hood. He eventually returned to the Bat-Family and assembled a team of anti-heroes known as the Outlaws.
Lobdell Talks Red Hood & The Outlaws
I have a feeling Winick's arc is gonna be a resolution of sorts for him for this series, but I think he'll look like the animated movie, with mostly broad strokes mentioning of previous events like how he was resurrected, Scarlet, Gatman.

He'll be a dude who has done some bad stuff but they won't dwell on every little horrible thing he's done. It'll be a "soft" moral reset from villain to anti-hero.
I get the mindset behind this character needing a team-simply because the character would be a lonely one on his own. I'd always felt if you did Jason in a solo title you'd have to bring ALOT of pre-crisis character relationships to play with Nocturna, Bullock, his ex girlfriend Rena, simply to give him a cast. You'd have to welcome some satire to keep things moving. Because otherwise it's brooding and decapitation.

For all the same reasons I told you privately lol. Superman is gonna be a kid. Babs can walk. The Titans look like a Top Cow comic. Bat-wing has his own title after 1 comic appearance. Judd Winick is not writing the Red Hood. Batman literally has his son as his Robin which feels like it's more a statement about what the nature of batman & robin has always been instead of what the story is supposed to be about.
There's something very...symbolly about all this that makes me doubt it's not a long-term direction so much as an artistic introduction to the DCU.
In some respects it seems like this about boiling characters down to their essence or best light, while throwing away poor decisions since the last crisis to yes, introduce the characters to new readers. Some of that will stick in the DCU, changes that help. Mainlining Jason, un-mutilating Roy.
The essence of Superman doesn't necessarily include the marriage to Lois Lane but that doesn't make me think they're discarding it so much as removing it from the "essence" stories of September.
We've heard all these titles had to be pitched by rival teams. What if the pitch wasn't "my Firestorm" vs "yours" but rather a creative pitch to say "This in his esence, is Firestorm". Bat-wing is the spirit of what Inc is.
Imagine if this universe were to discover they are the remnants of the old DCU. That Zoom won and Barry put things back wrong. And the story of Flashpoint is these characters, in their artistic essence, fighting to restore that universe.
And what if that's the real story? That this is a high-brow "Meet the DC Comics". I'm not doubting a Red Hood series, or an Outlaws series but I have my doubts this is actually it. Some of it may just be for poops and giggles, taking chances to see how a "My Greatest Adventure" title does.
I think that this will stick. It won't be a fake or something to just get our interest then taken away from us just when it gets good. I am excited for Lobdell to write this. I love the way Winick writes Jason but I think Lobdell will do a great job as well. He seems to be the only person out there that see's how Jason really should be other than Judd. So I anxiously await this title.
Wow man, DC's gonna do tv ads now. Guess it is permanent.I always thought that it would be
C'monnnnn people, we're 3 shy of 100 likes on the Outlaws fanpage. I get to calm down after 100.
