THE OUTSIDERS - The DC TV Universe JUSTICE LEAGUE

Could the DC TV Universe be heading towards a Justice League style team up in the form of The Outsiders?

I'll try not to make this too long, or go off on a tangent, but with all the shows announced by DC/WB it got me thinking that it would be cool for a Justice Leage style team up crossover series like where they're heading with the movies, and what Marvel have successfully achieved already.

Then a thought crossed my mind. The Outsiders.

The Outsiders we're reimagined and reintroduced in Jeff Lemires run on the New 52 Green Arrow (of which Arrow is partially based on) in Vol. 5: The Outsiders war. The reimagining changed them into the form of an ancient society of clans who take their names from totemic weapons: the mask, the fist, the axe, the shield, the sword, the spear and the arrow, and are dedicated to eradicating corruption, but becomes corrupt itself.



Now here's an interesting fact, Oliver Queens father Robert Queen was the leader of the Arrow clan, which could take Arrow full circle to season one and bring back Robert Queen in flash backs, dreams yadda yadda whatever that's up to the writers, I'm no writer. Also, Green Arrow destroyed the arrow totem as a symbolic rejection of the clan when asked to lead them.

Anyway, Onto the next thing.

Katana will be showing up in Arrow soon, and she's the current holder of the Soultaker Sword of the sword clan. Onyx leads the fist clan who has strong links to Nyssa al Ghul who has appeared on Arrow, and Ras Al Ghul, who we will meet next week.

So I think this could warrant some interesting material that the writers could play around with. They're all characters they could use without stepping on the toes of the movies and the more you research The Outsiders the more connections you'll begin to see to the characters in Arrow and you being to think how they could tweak some things slightly and make it all happen.

Obviously The Outsiders team would be different to the comics (Although Nightwing once led The Outsiders, fingers crossed!) but they could still use the name for the collective of DC properties on TV. My hopes would be for each show to establish themselves for a few seasons, then bring them all together for a crossover SERIES (not episode) called The Outsiders, consisting of Green Arrow, Arsenal, Flash,  Katana, Black Canary, John Constantine, Supergirl. Constantine could introduce a nice supernatural side to the universe which Arrow doesn't touch on.

I'm not saying this is what they're going to do or even speculating about it I just created this article because I would be immensely happy if this where to happen.

Imagine having a Justice League in the cinemas and The Outsiders you can watch from the comfort of your lazy boy every Wednesday, wowwawoocha.

Thanks for reading guys.

I liked PonyBoy. Dallas was my favorite though.

I would like the idea of an Outsiders TV show. I just hope it has members from the original run as well as the Vol 3 run (like Grace Choi).

ANyway, can you check out my Sercet Six cast ?

I would enjoy an Outsiders tv show, but it needs Katana, Metamorpho, Geo Force, Halo & Black Lightning. If they can make a show with those characters, then it will be great.

I'd be fine with an Outsiders tv show.
