Batman and the Outsiders #3: Pages 16-17

Let's get back into the story when Halo gets "handled" by Agent Orange...You can add Super-Ventriloquism to Halo's powers, folks.
Shooting your gun at her bum is NOT COOL, Orange. You're liable to get yourself castrated for something like that.
See?
Well, if Agent Orange is comparing this "tactical mind" to himself, I'm sure it doesn't compare to strategies involving "handling the woman" (when there are two of them, and the one he actually goes for is more properly called "the girl" or how about, "the blonde"). Possibly, this great "tactical mind" makes use of handy maps, and maybe even a pointer like he does. Certainly, this mastermind wouldn't keep a helicopter running in the vicinity of where he used a debilitating gas.

As for the identity of this master strategist, who could it possibly be? Or did you you think Gotham City was undefended?
Bold words from a guy who just can't hear what his helicopter's been trying to tell him about his jolly smack bottom for the last page or so.
When did Batman ever tell her not to fly low? Especially when Katana was at ground level the whole time. These are girls who disobeyed orders when they followed you to the chemical farm, Batman, or have we forgotten that already?
Thought bubbles are a window into your dark, dark soul, Batman (or should I start calling you Barrman?): If Halo had died, you'd just have justified it by saying she didn't follow your orders. Yeah, she brought it on herself. That's the ticket.
Wow, don't let everything out of the bag at once, Fred! Between Parms and Stud, I do believe the incidental soldiers in this comic have had more character development than some of the regulars.
It is a dark day indeed when the most intimidating hero in the room/farm/backgroundless panel isn't the Batman.
Mike Barr is resolved to suck anything cool out of his new characters. If they fail, Batman says they're not ready (and "I told you so"). If they succeed, they didn't do it on purpose. Sigh.

Oh, and Chris Claremont called. He wants his X-shaped post back. He wants to do a Wolverine bondage cover again.

I'm with Fred. Is Halo subtly informing us that Katana actually killed all the other soldiers? Is that how (according to Agent Orange) they lost the battle?

Meanwhile, note how Batman, echoing all our thoughts, considers what would make it easier to bury Halo.
