You know something? The only issues of Batman And The Outsiders I really ever enjoyed was the R.I.P. tie ins and the couple issues following that. There isn't much to like about a bunch of not so original superheroes running around telling stories you would have to be loyal reader to understand. The only times I ever bought it was when it tied directly into a Batman story, otherwise it could rot for all I care.
So I'm not sure if it was last issue or the issue before that but R.I.P. had wrapped up and it looked as if Batgirl was going to take The Outsiders into a much different, and much more interesting direction.
This issue pretty much confirms that a totally new, hype, fun, and interesting lineup just ain't gonna happen folks. Back to these stupid smucks again. What happened to recruiting Edward Nigma's private detective firm to the team. Or Deathstroke? Or Nightwing? What happened to Batgirl herself?
And how is this a "New Beginning" if it is all the same lame dork characters again? Who the hell is into Metamorso or Black Lightning?! These characters are less original then the folks from Justice League Task Force back in the early 1990s!!
How does a comic book with these sucky characters even get the funding to continue publishing this crap during these times of economic troubles? And most of all, I want to know, who the hell buys this crap, and why did I? Oh yeah, because it said Batman on the title!! Well I hear that is about to change and so is my purchasing this trash status!

The moral of the story: characters you don’t like/aren’t familiar with are "dorks". Thanks for the insight…
"I HATE CHANGE! THINGS I’M UNFAMILIAR WITH ARE BAD! WHAT’S A GEOFORCE? WHERE’S MY JUICE?!"
Metaphoro is pretty underused, Creeper is a great concept, Geoforce’s (new? creepy?) literal dirt nap kick made me go "hm!"and Final Crisis: Resist bumped Black Lightning up to "compelling" for me. I’ll definitely be checking this out.
