I know what you mean! JLQ does sound like it could be really interesting but I’m also into the Robins! Tough choices, tough choices… at least I can decide on the other choices easily lol. I just started reading more Swamp Thing so I’m kinda looking forward to that.
By the way, welcome back to the community! Nice to see you here

Putting JLQ against Robins is more like putting up a D1 collegiate soccer champion team against the World Cup Winners.
They might pull off a surprise win, sure. But the odds are still stacked against the college team.

Not really. Last I checked, the poll was about 45% v. 55%, favoring Robins. That’s far from being the landslide victory you are describing.

Like I said, there’s a chance the collegiate team wins, but it’s not necessarily the bet of the standard exec.

In any case, the analogy still stands. How many of those other pitches are getting the kind of support we’re seeing for JLQ and Robins? One, maybe two? And how much of that support would vanish instantly if it were a choice between that pitch and JLQ?

I like the idea of giving underrepresented or forgotten characters a shot to find new audiences. Etta Candy, Zatanna, JLQ, Animal Man (even with Lobo), Paws off Justice League, and Nightrunner all would be cool to see get a shot.

Agreed-ish. It would certainly be better, but out of all these…

I feel so bad having to choose Robins over Justice League Queer. Like, we absolutely need a book where all of DC’s best LGBTQ+ characters are together, but… ROBINS!!!

I do like the idea of Tim and Kon finally being a couple, especially since people (and by people, I mean the writers) seem to have completely forgotten how strongly (or at all) it was hinted. But at the same time, I love Tim and Steph so much. Also, are there any stories of Damian having a romance at all (not counting alternate realities like DCeased: Dead Planet)?

Also, if we don’t get Robins, we’ll never know who “the first” Robin was! My personal theory is it’s all part of an elaborate training exercise, but it could also be an alternate reality version who doesn’t realize they’re in the wrong reality

“Queer” hasn’t been a slur since back when Alan Scott was the only Green Lantern and Jay Garrick was the only Flash.

They would NEVER leave her out. (Backs into corner, speaks in quiet, shaky voice) Would they?

Wait, guys, I think I’ve got it: Vote for Robins, then claim that morally, we NEED JLQ. That way, we get them both!

ABSOLUTELY! My two favorites were put against each other right out of the gate?
