Batman and the Outsiders #3

This volume collects the first six issues of the 2021 Batman and the Outsiders series, launching a new iteration of the team under Batman's leadership. The story arc, titled 'Lesser Gods,' sees Batman assembling a covert squad—including Black Lightning, Katana, and the Signal—to tackle threats that fall outside the Justice League's purview, beginning with a mysterious organization targeting metahumans. Written by Brandon Thomas with art by Sumit Kumar, the collection sets up a globe-trotting, espionage-tinged adventure that explores the Outsiders' role as a black-ops unit operating in the shadows of the DC Universe.
