Batman and the Outsiders #2: Pages 5-6

So Black Lightning... why'd you pussy out, my man?I can't imagine what this conversation was like. Lightning skirting around the issue... Batman never really clueing in... Lightning letting himself be intimidated into going on the mission and actually packing his costume even though he's given it up... It's 24 meets Three's Company.
Ah now we have the world's greatest detective. "ONE reason?" Well played, Batman, well played. But be careful what you ask for...
That's right. You're hangin' with a KILLER!!! (Spoiler: He'll be hanging with two more before this issue is over.)
Meanwhile, Halo's amnesia becomes the amazing ability to misremember stuff that just happened. Batman got captured while trying to sneak up on a revolutionary. He hasn't left his mission for one single second, sweetheart. He drafted you and you didn't even notice.

And now what every superhero comic needs: Girls bonding!
Is there ANY hero on this team you can't sneak up on from behind?! Don't worry, Katana's not doing us any favors here. I have a feeling Halo can function without a head anyway. She's a powerhouse and can't take three guys? And three constitutes "all over the place"?
Katana's a bit smarter. 1) She makes the deduction that "No Paper Hat" = "Not a Revolutionary"...
...and 2) she doesn't give Halo too much information for fear of overwhelming her.
3) Right away, she tries to evaluate Halo's strategic value. Of course, there is the matter of breaking stealth by whispering to your girlfriend while sneaking up on a guy, but he's as deaf as the heroes, so no biggie. And look ma, no PG-13 violence! A sword as a blunt weapon, it's this close to genius.
Now, now, girls. Comparing notes is okay, but no one likes a gloater or a showoff.
Oh zing! Katana certainly sent a low one flying toward scripter Mike Barr! And if you're making a list, that's: Food, her name, airplanes.

What else can she not remember this issue?

What's this? I thought the origin of Stud would follow Bedlam's origin.

Things Halo can't remember? Keep that list coming.

Stud is the new Wolverine. Reveal his origin and you destroy the character's mystique.

List of things Halo can't remember? That's a totally Treadmilly thing to do. I will oblige.
