Without a connection to Batman they probably need something else to generate interest and sales.
The thing is that at least in it's original incarnation the the team never really did much special ops and spy stuff, and the majority of the classic members is not even particularly skilled in stuff like that. And the Outcast thing does also not work that well, since apart from Metamorpho all of the member were relativity normal humans. One was even a Prince of a small european nation and another was a former olympic athlete and school teacher.
For me a general problem of that book is, that the iconic members are just a really poor fit for the their mission statement.
