I meant to click Champions, but my fat finger hit JL Detroit instead. Oh well, they'd have been my second choice anyway. And I know the 90's Avengers have been lambasted before on these boards and others, but honestly, other than "bomber jackets are dumb!" and "too soap opera-y" I've never seen a compelling argument supporting the era as objectively bad...

Too soap opera-y and bad art are enough (for the 90s Avengers)

This question reminds me a little of how Razzies are awarded. There are truly horrifying films out there both from an artistic and a technical point of view, but the Razzies ignore them in favor of simply more popular films ....

Exhibit A in how hard it is to start a new team book -- Batman and the Outsiders #1-2
Mike Barr and Jim Aparo are talented creators, and have done plenty of stuff I've liked, but not the most auspicious start to a team book.

Still, Batman and the Outsiders was one of the most inventive directions for Batman, essentially taking the team-up concept from Brave and the Bold to its logical destination. That was a very fun title for some time.

I disliked BatO at its inception. First, because it was an outgrowth of Batman's argument with the JLA, which always struck me as incredibly contrived. Second, because the team never felt … Batman-y to me. If it had been more along the lines of Batman Inc or maybe harkened back to Cap' Kookie Quartet with some other reformed villains and JLA rejects … Sportsmaster, Huntress, maybe Man-Bat, maybe Mind-Grabber Kid … it might have called to me.

Yeah, not a fan at all of that era.. more the designs that the art quality, but definitely not my cup of tea.
