A new video clip for Young Justice: Outsiders was released during tonight’s DC Universe live stream event of DC Daily, with the footage featuring Nightwing (Dick Grayson) as he breaks up a metahuman trafficking ring.
Assisting Nightwing on this mission is Oracle, who relays information to Nightwing from a remote location. Oracle is the codename Barbara Gordon adopted in the comics when she lost the use of her legs after being shot in the back by The Joker. Barbara appeared on the second season of Young Justice as Batgirl, but with her now going by the name Oracle, it has us speculating on whether another time jump takes place between Seasons 2 and Season 3, and if Batgirl suffers the same injury that put her on the sidelines in the comics.

The video clip is titled “Young Justice: Outsiders – Bedlam,” and sees Nightwing and Oracle rescue a group of kids in Moscow. Oracle theorizes that the black goo left on containment pods matches the tar Bedlam uses to turn abducted metagene kids into full-blown metahumans — that’s if the kids survive the process. Bedlam was a reality-warping enemy of Young Justice in the comics, but it remains to be seen what version of the character appears in the animated series.
Nightwing makes sure the lab can never be used again by blowing the entire complex up with explosives. Of course, Nightwing got a sample of the tar to send back to Oracle, who traces the source back to the nation of Markovia, which was featured in the first trailer at Comic-Con International in San Diego.
