Bryan Edward Hill has been talking about yesterday's Bleeding Cool about DC Comics cancelling retailer orders for the first three issues of Batman And The Outsiders, scheduled to have been published in December, January and February. With a plan to resolicit the comic at a later date.

I mean, he hasn't actually read our story. But he has read reaction to it.

Oh, there's some in-universe stuff that needs more incorporation into the story. It's a push on the release, but from what I understand, everything is fine. Just taking more time to make the launch powerful.

Could this be Cassandra Cain? Heroes In Crisis? Doomsday Clock? Black Lightning? All sorts of possibilities.

Everything is fine. We can only launch OUTSIDERS in this iteration once, so it has to accomplish as much as possible in our book, and beyond it.

I don't know how many superhero comics runs I have in me, so I really want this to be special. https://t.co/BMczzZuWT7

Weirdly, at the same time, DC Comics was telling retailers that their orders would be cancelled and the book resolicited, they also released this Stjepan Sejic variant cover for issue 1. Which is coincidental, considering that DC Comics cancelled orders and demanded extensive rewrites (and redraws) on Justice League Odyssey. Thankfully it seems that nothing similar is happening with Batman And The Outsiders.
