History
The Outsiders was a team formed by Batman to investigate the Dark Multiverse. As they investigated specific metals linked to it, such as the Nth Metal, the metal found in the Court of Owls' pool, Aquaman's trident, and Doctor Fate's Helmet. They also investigated connections between Metahumans and mystical lands like Nanda Parbat, Themyscara, and Atlantis. The team was created without the awareness of the Justice League, the government, or the Batman Family [1]
On the Outside
Batman and Black Lightning later created a new team composed of Katana, Orphan, and The Signal when they took on Karma.

- This is the second team to go by the name Outsiders in Prime Earth continuity, following the team of Green Arrow villains also called Outsiders.
