Some thoughts about Batman & the Outsiders #3

Can the Outsiders trust Batman?

Ra's Al Ghul might be able to gain a new follower meanwhile the Outsiders are being attacked by someone pretty close to them.

This story continues and I must say that the author is doing a better job here than during his Michael Cray series.

Bryan Hill offers a new installment where he plays with the contrast between how Batman and Ra's Al Ghul handle their allies. The characterization is really solid due that the writer continues to develop how the team feels after Batman's absense and how that ultimately make them clash with an enemy that will give those doubts an even bigger test which leads to a pretty intense action scene.

That being said, the best part is how the parallels between heroes and villains are being created. Ra's Al Ghul is trying to raise yet another assassin in the best way he believes in just like Bruce is trying to handle his team in the best way he believes in. Both are not necessarily the "best" ways obviously but they make you think about these characters deal with their own people.

Oh, and there's yet another Year of the Villain conclusion but at least Hill gets a good handle at Ra's here.

Dexter Soy remains in art duties and his work is really good as always thanks to his strong style and perfect storytelling.

Good stuff, hope the series continues this way.
