Change of venue:
A farm. Just a farm. But in Mike Barr's hands, a most dramatic place indeed! Nice to know that even Gotham's outlying countryside is a s#!thole.
Mike Barr Rule of Stealth #1: If you feel a double-take coming on, give it voice. Status: Obeyed.
Mike Barr Rule of Stealth #2: Concentrate. Even if that means letting them jump you from behind. Status: Obeyed.
Mike Barr Rule of Stealth #3: Make sure you have a glowing girl along. Status: Obeyed.
Mike Barr Rule of Writing New Characters #1: If you like your characters, the reader will like your characters. Status: You're deluding yourself, guv.
No but honestly, how are we ever going to think of the Outsiders as a solid superhero team if their leader keeps telling us they aren't?
Henchmen opinions show us why they're only henchmen. Giving you jobs is long-term employment. Burying toxic waste in the country is a weekend contract or at most, a summer job for university students.
Finally a break from the ridiculous plot. Let's just enjoy the mindless violence, ok?
Ahhh, that's better. Now that I'm all refreshed, some strategy:
"Take them alive if you can." This is again the Batman who let Geo-Force throw a guy off a building, but it's not the Batman *I* grew up with (I was all grown up by Tim Burton's Batman, thanks). I guess if you've got a teammate with a sword, you have to make concessions. Anyway, she WILL try, won't she?
Uhm... who knows? Is that the sound of someone losing their weapon? An arm? A massive amount of blood?
Over at another ditch, Halo's getting herself killed. (Actually, she isn't. It's a holographic trick. But I can dream, can't I?)
And out of nowhere, Agent Orange and his Orangeacopter! My advice to him: If the superheroes attack you in an attempt to stop you, it's not a diversion. It's an attack. It's only a diversion if they don't want you to see what you're really up to, like disarming the bomb. It's also rarely a very good diversion unless Uhura's abs are in the frame.
But stay tuned cuz he knows how to handle a woman!

Never mind.
At least his hand is in some other panel, probably still pointing at that map.
Wait. Farm? In Gotham City!? With no skyline!?!? Katana ain't buyin it, either.
No?
Maybe Aparo is phoning it in.
Wait, I'm confusing this with Guantanamo Bay.
