Outsiders Gets Renamed Back to Batman And The Outsiders...

... and then gets cancelled.  What the heck?

BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS #40

Batman arrives in an attempt to unite Black Lightning's team with Geo-Force's for the final battle against Veritas. But as one teammate is lost and others leave, Batman must determine if it's time to disband The Outsiders forever.

Is this a casualty of the upcoming Flashpoint?  Will it be relaunched after that story, or switched into a different title?  Who knows?  All I know is that this is one of my favorite titles and I am annoyed that it is being cancelled to make way for temporary stuff, even if that temporary stuff is part of what sounds like a cool crossover story.  I have heard that Doom Patrol will also be on the chopping block; these moves will have the effect of positively impacting my comics budget, but man, that's the wrong way to achieve that goal.

Also, notice who is not on that cover -- seems that Geo-Force might be the "lost" teammate mentioned.

Batman And The Outsiders #40 hits stores on May 18.
