Black Lightning is an Outsider no more! It’s up to Katana to take up the reigns of leader-ship as things look their darkest for the team—and the new addition of Babylon has thrown the team into flux. Plus, Batman is far from thrilled with the secrets that the Signal and Orphan are keeping from him. And this is exactly what Ra’s al Ghul wants: a broken team that doesn’t stand a chance against his new League and their deadliest assassin yet.

It's a bit weird to me that there are two pairs of people in this group (Duke Thomas and Cassandra Cain and Black Lightning and Katana) that more or less look like the same people. Though, I guess there's something kind of interesting about it. I don't think I've seen that before. That they're minorities (specifically black and east Asian), though, is kind of...eh...because there's a bit of an implication there.

Duke looks like a badass here, and I love it ! And I can't wait to see Raijin returning fully to the team, because Hill and Soy made him such an awesome and primordial part of the team that I can't believe he's gone for good !
