The Outsiders (not to be confused with the novel of the same name) are a DC Comics superhero team that has starred in its own comic book series several times. The group is best known as "Batman's own superhero team" since he formed it, though he's not always a regular member.The first series, Batman and the Outsiders, was launched after the cancellation of The Brave and the Bold, Batman's own Team-Up Series, in the early 1980s. Writer Mike W. Barr and artist Jim Aparo, both of whom had extensive experience with Batman, created the team and launched the series on the last issue of TB&TB, #200 (July, 1983).In that story, Batman is angry at the Justice League for refusing to help him rescue his friend, Lucius Fox, from being caught in the middle of a military coup in the European nation of Markovia (because they didn't want to start an international incident). He quits the team and goes alone, ending up running into various other heroes while there, including: | |

Aborted Arc | |
| The Outsiders (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: The 2007 series had both its introductory arc (the giant gun built in secret by hypnotized astronauts) and its follow-up (the alien creature that escaped from its drug-dealing handlers) abruptly interrupted to have the book tie into Batman RIP. | |

Dirty Business | |
| The Outsiders (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_2b9affed | comment |
Dirty Business: In theory anyway. The Outsiders were made to handle situations too dirty for the League to handle. However, it doesn't quite work when their founder is one of the greatest moral paragons in comics. The worst act out of all the Outsiders teams was one brutal interrogation. | |

Bathroom Break-Out | |
| The Outsiders (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_30643e22 | comment |
Bathroom Break-Out: One issue of the 2007 series opens with Metamorpho captured in France for hijacking an ESA shuttle and ramming it into the International Space Station. He asks to go to the bathroom, and the prosecutor and two police officers escort him inside the bathroom (giving him enough privacy to do his business, of course)... But Metamorpho being Metamorpho, he finds a creative way to escape. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| The Outsiders (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Some of the speeches Lady Shiva gives to convince her daughter to abandon Batman's and Outsider's cause and seek her own destiny sound like she's reading common complaints about the way Cassandra Cain has been written in Batman and Robin Eternal and Detective Comics (Rebirth) prior to joining the Outsiders. She brings up how the codename Orphan is nonsensical and borderline insulting, the fact Cassandra is not allowed to wear Bat symbol feels like a mockery and how it often feels she's being held back out of fear she'd overshadow more "classic" Batfamily members, all things her fans were vocal about. She even says Batman will always see Cass as Un Favorite in favor of Barbara Gordon, which feels like an outright Take That! at DC editorial, well known for holding that very sentiment. | |

You Are Better Than You Think You Are | |
| The Outsiders (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_c3b51bb3 | comment |
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: A particularly darker example given by Lady Shiva to her daughter Cassandra Cain and Duke Thomas. She firmly believes that Batman has no real plan for the young duo and that their status as his sidekicks squanders their potential to become more. She then goes on to encourage them to break away from Bruce's shadow so they can finally evolve as heroes. | |

By issue #12, Tatsu makes it clear that she's more than interested in a Relationship Upgrade with him, but Jeff simply wishes to leave things as they are for personal reasons. | |
