It’s
date night for Jason and Artemis. It seems someone lost a bet, or maybe a dare,
we’re not quite sure. But Artemis cleans up REALLY well, while Jason, a little
less so. Nevertheless, what he lacks in polish he makes up for in enthusiasm.
That is, until…
The date
night is not quite all it seems, while Bizarro is left at home to his own
devices. Anyone of any age who’s ever been left alone unsupervised knows how
dicey things can get. As I once saw on a theater marquee in Times Square,
“Boredom makes you do creepy thing.” (I think it’s Jack Handey quote, but I’m
not really sure.)
We all
thought the dynamics of the Outlaws was ironed out, but that was back when
Bizarro was, well, Bizarro. Now he’s a good deal smarter, and while he’s still
the powerhouse he’s always been, he’s evolved far beyond the simple blunt
instrument Red Hood and Artemis have come know and love.
It’s a good
story, with solid ramifications for the future of the team on many levels – not
the least of which is a teammate who may be suffering from the cure to what
ails him. Either way you look at it, it’s sure to cause some fractures down the
road.
