Batman And The Outsiders Special #1
Spinning out of "Batman R.I.P." and DC UNIVERSE: LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, this special features the birth of a new era for the Outsiders and is a perfect entry point for past and present readers alike. FINAL CRISIS has changed the universe forever and though Batman may be gone, his legacy must endure. Forces are set in motion that give rise to a new team ready to combat the secret evil that the Outsiders were truly formed for all those years ago. Is Geo-Force the best leader? Or will Black Lightning prove to be a challenger? Plus, the introduction of a never-before-seen character important to the Batman mythos!
Writer Peter J. Tomasi (GREEN LANTERN CORPS, NIGHTWING) is joined by Adam Kubert (DCU: LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT) for this extra-length one-shot spectacular, which is the opening chapter of an epic storyline that will continue within the pages of February's THE OUTSIDERS #15!

Hrmmmm I'm very tempted to pick this up, Tomasi is doing awesome on Nightwing & GLC, and FC:Requiem was great. Has anyone seen any interview/previews anywere for this book?

Apparently there was a clue in a DC Nation column from a few months ago that said "the owl and the butler are the same person". So my guess is Alfred is Owlman.

From what we've been told, Alfred is definitely running the new Outsiders team.

I hope Tomasi can bring the level of fun to this book that Chuck Dixon brought, before he was so uncerimoniously kicked out of DC after years of killer work.

Alfred as Owlman?? what the... I have this on my pull list, so I will get it but if Alfred is the Owlman, Im sorry but with all respect I will drop this book. I respect everyone who likes that idea but that is CRAZY

I'm kinda looking forward to this. But what the fucks up with all these books with Geo-Force in them? Is he really that popular of a character? Or is it that Meltzer just really liked him and tried to make him a major player in the DCU?

oh man i definitely cried with the bruce and alfred scene... what powerful dialogue. but besides that the story sucked.

This was awesome, I hope editorial will leave the book alone and let Tomasi go. This is a great new direction.

@smeeeee no kidding, dude. I picked this up because of how good Nightwing has been lately, I'm really glad I did. I'll be reading this book now that Tieri is gone.

Tomasi is a great new writer, I'm enjoying what I've read of his Green Lantern Corps. and this issue was a great set-up and I can't wait to see where he goes from there.

i loved this issue. it is the classic getting the team together issue, but the scene in the beginning between bruce and alfred is a great, emotional moment.

Well, I wasn't going to pick this up but the temptation of Tomasi got me to do so anyhow. It wasn't too bad although the Creeper is not one of my favorites, but I'll pick up Outsiders #15 and go from there.

best moment in this book: Bruce's message to Alfred. we see a side of bruce we rarely ever see, and it s a great moment of tenderness from the Batman, and i loved how alfred didnt even need to think about accepting Bruce's offer. that is such a great scene, it made the whole book worth it.

have they said if the owlman in this story is the one from another earth or if he is going to be someone we know? i am betting on jason todd.
