Batman and the Outsiders #1: Pages 2-3

So our story begins in Gotham, at the Feng Shui-ed up Wayne Foundation building:"Traveling to a tiny Balkan country in the midst of a civil war and no natural resources to speak of on 'business' is hardly 'getting rid' of you, Lucius..."
I guess we know what Lucius' opinion of Bruce Wayne's business acumen is, don't we? So Bruce, a redhead? Boy or girl?

BOY!
Now that is the Jim Aparo, exploding-fists-of-fury Batman we love so well. (And a reminder that Friday Night Fights returns tomorrow.)

So am I sorry I went and spread some gay innuendo about "Rooster" here?
Not one jot. Is that a purse he's carrying? Oooh, Batman is so angry at this choice of fashion accessory... He shakes his mighty fist at it. Grrr.
Then Batman uses his telescopic vision to look into Lucius' plane (apparently there aren't many flights that fly over Gotham). My own commercial flight experiences differ in that 1) planes are never spacious enough to walk around and have conversations with fellow passengers, 2) the windows are never that panoramic, and 3) stewardess uniforms rarely if ever include baseball caps. But I'm not filthy rich, so what do I know?

Redeeming feature: Love the perspective on Batman's cape in the last panel. Aparo saves the day again.
