@wvuscott Y'know... you got my vote to be the guy who develops the line ups for a new Mattel 6 inch figure line. I got no quibbles with any of that
-No Man's Land era Batfamily (including Azrael, Huntress, Alfred, and Harold)
-Justice League International
-Shadowpact, Sentinels of Magic, Seven Soldiers of Victory (all kinda tie together)
-Omega Men
-Some of the bigger name Lanterns of each color, but take this one slow. More than anything I want Bleez. And if we do get a Lantern wave... for god's sake, sprinkle in something from the classic era so the line-up isn't just Geoff Johns' Skittles.
-New Bloods would heavily entertain me
-Blackhawk Squadron
If waves were to have dedicated "slots", I'd rather only some be dedicated to consistent team-building. Overall world-building is just as important. Exclusively having Batfamily/JLA/JSA/TT members and big name villains would make for an incredibly lifeless roster, though maybe satisfying to a checklist. There's a lot more ground to encompass than that, and a lot of homeless oddballs.
I really like the idea of story specific waves that Todd had, but it'd be better if they chose stories that provide something people actually want rather than... Dark Nights Metal. The Crisis wave had a great line-up. I'd love more waves in that direction.
