Batman and the Outsiders #5: Pages 1-2

"Are you in luck! For only 75¢, you have a ringside seat for the deaths of Batman and the Outsiders, and the New Teen Titans. Now is that a bargain, or what?"Mike Barr: Master of marketing. The lives of the Outsiders - CHEAP! DC might be cross with him if he kills off their 80s cash cow though, so they're probably fine. This is the panel that also shows how superheroes line their uniforms with lead. Nobody cares about buoyancy anymore. (Certainly not when it comes to sales.)

Batman and Robin have been going at each other of late, but they're more alike than they think:
They're both power pukers, and they're both quick to give up. Still, I do admire Batman for cracking jokes when all seems lost.

Our only chance: Giant-Sized Terra!
Will she... create giant earthen hands to pull everyone out of the water? Cuz that would make sense. (WARNING: Mike Barr comic!)
No, she's going to reassemble the chunks from a sinking island (because that's exactly what a destroyed island looks like... certainly no sense that it was ever connected to the bottom), let the plummeting heroes fall on it, and lift them back to safety. Weak. Hey, I didn't say it.

Tomorrow: Mass drowning. I didn't pay my bargain 75¢ for a last-minute rescue.
