When Batman recruited Black Lightning to join the Outsiders, he warned him of the dark world he was entering. Black Lightning shrugged it off, but now that Ra's al Ghul has gone after him directly, the darkness Batman warned of has enveloped him. Will the Outsiders be able to free him from it?
It's exciting, intriguing, and feels like solid payoff for all the build up we've had thus far. Read Full Review

Batman & the Outsiders continues to be an absolute delight to read! It's the high-octane blockbuster that we want, but balanced with characterization and depth to near perfection. No page or panel is wasted with this creative team, and more so than any other book, I'd say you get your money's worth here. Batman & the Outsiders is a commitment with great payoffs, and I hope this is just the very beginning of things to come! Read Full Review
This series hit its stride after a strong first arc, although its weak spot remains generic villains Kaliber and Ishmael, who show up near the end of the issue. The Outsiders seem on the verge of a reunion, and it looks like it'll be a hell of a showdown. Read Full Review
Batman and the Outsiders incorporates enough of the original title's elements to feel like a true successor to the original. But it also includes plenty of new elements, making it more than a rehash of its earlier incarnations. Bryan Hill has produced a captivating reimagination of the Outsiders for the post-Rebirth era.

Although the needle doesnt move too much in terms of significant story progression this is another issue that doesnt have to struggle to sustain reader interest as this arc rolls on. Read Full Review
As someone who picked this book up on a whim, it was a solid issue of Batman and the Outsiders. I can see where people would enjoy this book, while also having the perspective to see where it could have been a bit better than what was produced. Read Full Review
Nothing really stands out in Batman and the Outsiders #10. Once the excitement starts the issue is over. If you are currently following the series then pick up a copy. If you have not been following then wait for a trade or the next issue. Read Full Review
This book is written as an action book, first – last – and always, but it has the potential to be much more. More scenes establishing the dynamics of Bruce and Jefferson, Jefferson and Duke, Duke and Tatsu, Cassandra and Jefferson – all of that would be appreciated. It's very single-minded on its main hero/villain plot, and that only goes so far in terms of interest. It's right on the cusp of being truly good. Read Full Review
While most of the issue is actually dialogue offer clues about a doomsday weapon and Shiva's interests in partnering with Black Lightning, there is some action towards the end as Black Lightning and Shiva run into a bit of trouble though they do get some unexpected assistance from the sudden arrival of Katana, Signal and Cassandra. Maybe the team might survive Ra's machinations after all. Read Full Review
Batman and the Outsiders #10 felt rushed in both story and art. I liked where we ended up, though, and look forward to an action-packed next issue, but something was just not right here. Read Full Review

A lot more action and less of the annoying bickering. If only the majority of issues in this series was like this. Seeing more Bruce Wayne and not just Batman was also cool.
Prelude:
Batman and the Outsiders has been passable so far but can this issue improve upon that?
The Good:
Found Sofia interesting in this issue.
Liked Soy's art like always.
Bruce was cool using both sides of the coin here.
I'm interested to see where this goes.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
A great issue for me. It just works.
I honestly think this issue worked a lot better than last few. The dialogue didn't feel quite so stilted this time around. Maybe Fallen Angels got the writer into a real zen mode where he couldn't knock the habit of preposterous and pretentious dialogue, but now that that's over, he's reeled it back a little.
" Of my two faces, this is the one you should trust. "
Nothing great, or bad.
Ugh okay I guess? This just doesn’t interest me that much.
