Should DC push Midnighter more? He's already a fan favorite and had a solo title, but they barely give any attention to him. I feel he has more potential to become a popular character than generic Batfamily member #45345335.
>>83535973
Only thing that matters is if it sells well.
>>83535973
Why would they push a character that doesn't sell?
>>83536004
>>83536020
Fucking Vixen has a solo animated series and made appearances on others. And she never even had a solo book.
>>83535973
Well, Seeley and Orlando did say that they'll continue using him.
But honestly, as with all things, it all comes down to the writer. If giving him more spotlight means he'll be written by Lobdell or Humphries, I'd rather Middy stays in the shadows.
I'm sure we all still remember Nu52 Stormwatch.
Is his book still going post-Rebirth like Dr. Fate and a few others, or is he being shuffled into some other book?

>Is his book still going post-Rebirth like Dr. Fate and a few others
No
>>83536066
>or is he being shuffled into some other book?
See you in Nightwing.
>>83536066
No.
Only if they made him straight.
Gay male characters don't sell and will never sell.
Make him straight, and he can join the based batfamily
Don't Midnighter and Cassandra Cain/Batgirl have the same power set?
>>83536035
Vixen is straight and has mass sex appeal
It's business
>>83536096
He's already part of the Batfamily, you don't need to be straight to do that. We're talking about another solo.
>>83535973
>fan favorite
Pfft! Those sales numbers beg to differ.
>>83536114
No, not even close. I love Cass, but she has no chance against Middy.
>>83535973
As long as it's written well. If not, better to keep him as a side character. Somehow it seems like all the Wildstorm ppl work better as side characters. Ah, I weep.
>>83536138
Middy's solo book was fantastic though.
>>83536035
>Fucking Vixen has a solo animated series
they're just low budget 4 minute shorts that nobody gives a fuck about.
>>83536126
No he isn't.
I doubt he'll get another solo book in the next 5 years.
>>83536152
That it was, man. That it was. Here's hopin' for more.
>>83536174
>appears in Grayson
>saves everyone in B&RE
>appears in Nightwing
Face it, he's in the Batfamily.
>>83536155
>Nobody
>Was one of the most watched CW shows
Lol. Vixen has alot of pull. She runs circles around midnighter
>>83536096
but Kate is gay you dumbfuck.
>>83535973
Generic member of the Batfamily means sells better than 70% of the industry.
>>83535973
He just had an ongoing and it didn't sell.
He's probably not getting a starring role like that again anytime soon.
I'd expect him in an Authority book before his own again.
>>83535973
no, last time DC pushed by him having a Twitter Post about him, people were tweeting up in arms about the Gay Agenda.
>>83536192
I don't know man, these two characters have helped batman and have appeared in more books, but they aren't regarded as part of the bat family.
>>83536202
>one of the most watched CW shows
Yeah, not really
>>83536276
Catwoman definitely is though.
>>83536192
If anything. BRE showed exactly why Midnighter cannot ever become a part of Batfamily. A competent writer wouldn't have even thought of putting him for the exact reason that's demonstrated in that very comic: Middy can instantly, trivially solve any problem Bat characters could have and thus invalidates them all single-handedly. Even Batman himself becomes completely unnecessary when you have Midnighter around.
>>83536255
>>83536255
>Gay MALE
Learn to read, dumbass.
Lesbian characters sell more than gay male characters.
And you're on the team because of how well you sell, or your appeal
Midnighter actually has fans? JUST
I'm still pissed EW wrote about the series AFTER it was over.

>>83536152
Do I need to read anything before reading the standalone or is it fine just picking it up?
>>83535973
DUDE NIGHTWING RAPE LAMAO
>>83536305
What about Harley?
>But she's a villain
She's on the same level as middy
>>83536276
Catwoman is considered part of the Batfamily
>Harley Quinn
Give it time
>>83536348
It would be better if you read Grayson #1-7 before.
>>83536361
>She's on the same level as middy
Not really. Although she has stupidely been shown as more of an anti-hero in her solo book, her other appearances still depict her as a villain.
>>83535973
He's in good hands for now if Seeley writes him in Nightwing. My hope is that some more people will be intrigued enough to pick up his based solo.
I don't think he'll star in anything anytime soon either, but it's good that Seeley and Orlando don't want to let him slink back into the shadows.
>>83536339
He seems really popular on /co/, Comic Vine and
>>83536348
You'll be fine if you dive right in, although Grayson does explain how those two know each other. And gives more information on Spyral and the Garden, I guess.
>>83536414
Thank god for Seeley's and Orlando's love for Wildstorm.
You can do a low-budget action movie with a lot of violence starring Jason Statham as Midnighter. I think he'd do a great manly and buff homosexual character.
>Hey, Apollo, honey. A gonna put it in now, Relax ya butthole
>>83536311
Yeah, can't really argue with that. Instead of three Jokers we'd have none.
>>83536276
They're Batman's bitches, though. Gotham Vixens and all that.
>>83536470
I still want Hardy as Middy.
>>83536470
If you want an angry British man, get Tom Hardy. No one calls someone else a cunt better then Hardy.
>>83536260

first generic member of batfam book is Batgirl all the down at #52
though that is actually within the top 14%
lowest selling is We Are Robin, at #123 which is actually 2.5% outside the top 30%, but close enough that yeah, you're completely right
>>83536505
>>83536510
Too high-profile. I said a low budget movie.
>>83536529
Hardy has no inherent budget restrictions, Locke was literally him in a car for 90 minutes and he's willing to show up for five minutes an episode on Peaky Blinders.
>>83536554
Tom Hardy it is, then.
>>83536470
Reading that in his voice made me laugh, thanks for that.
>>83536505
I want Channing Tatum for Apollo, would that be good?
>>83536600
Eh, I can see it working.
>>83536096
Who's the black guy?
>>83536822
Luke Fox
