It's There, ignore it if you must.
In this issue the Outsiders deal, or begin to deal with life without Batman. As they search through out their friends and enemies they discuss wether or not there is an Outsiders without him.
The issue is an easy and very quick read. Nothing to really challenge the reader. It is still an interesting read, it is just like the first part of a buddy cop movie when they are questioning the team up, and you know in the end they will be best of friends. Well, like that but with less characterization. Once again though, beyond the banner and the mention of a missing Batman, there is no R.I.P. connection.
