This issue leads us down a mysterious and ominous path as we face the inside of Bruce's mind, which is often more terrifying than anything Gotham could throw at us. The varying characteristics of both Kate and Batman that are showcased throughout the issue show that everyone working on this book has a true and loving understanding of the characters they get to play with in this world. This is a run that should not be slept on lest you, too, are visited by the ghosts of Bruce Wayne's past. Read Full Review

This is the second issue in a row that really shows how much potential this series has, and how ambitious Lanzing and Kelly get when they're given the freedom to explore. Read Full Review

Outsiders #3 interrogates the very concept of Batman, and how his influence shapes friends as well as foes. This is one of the most interesting books DC is putting out on the stands - Batman fan or not, DC fan or not, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Read Full Review

Carey delivers some dark, disturbing and brilliant art throughout the issue. I really enjoyed the imagery and the character designs. Read Full Review

Outsiders #3 presents an alternate world overloaded with Batman and Batwoman variants.  The story is tinged with horror and you can feel the anxiety and tension ratchet up during the story as Luke and Kate struggle to find their way back home while dealing with all these alternate versions of themselves.  A fun surprise appearance by another Batman Family member tops off the issue.

Outsiders #3 was interesting. Let's hope it was a one-and-done and that going forward we're fighting crime and exploring new places, creatures, and things. Read Full Review

Clearly, despite the format, Kelly and Lanzing are building toward some kind of Dark Multiverse related reveal. In fact, this issue unveils that the ugly brown copy in the series is actually apart of a suspicious log Drummer possesses. Whether Drummer intentions are pure or not, they are hiding knowledge of a meta "narrative virus. In terms of character development, this poor attempt to distance Batwing from the cowl may have distracting lasting effects in the future. Otherwise, Outsiders isn't very subtle or creative, despite a few cool looking panels of staircases. Read Full Review

Outsiders #3 goes out of its way to sound high-concept and smart but fails spectacularly. Except for Robert Carey's wasted art, this was a random adventure that wasn't enjoyable to read, accomplished nothing, and said nothing. Read Full Review
