  I think Dixon's Batman and the Outsiders can be a successful and important part of the DCU, but I don't see it happening just yet. Without a firm knowledge of what the team is up against, it's difficult to care all that much about their recent missions. Likewise, there's not enough of a consistent thread between each issue and each mission to make me understand just why and how this team exists in the first place. In interviews and promotional pieces, we've been told over and over again that the Outsiders are a team that carries out the cloak and dagger missions that the Justice League has no stomach for. That might be the case, but we've yet to see it proven convincingly in the actual series. After all, there's nothing here that the JLA, Checkmate, the Suicide Squad or the Birds of Prey couldn't handle. Read Full Review

In the end, it's just not as exciting as it should be. Read Full Review
