scans_dailyThe team was Batman's, early in his career, to give him what he wasn't getting from Jim Gordon and Harvey Dent.
Its members - a Green Beret discharged on a frame-up, a forensic analyst not getting professional fulfillment at the FBI, an electronics shop owner whose brilliant amateur work wasn't being recognized, a criminal psychologist frustrated at having only pop appeal, and an ex-con finding it hard to get and live on work that wasn't criminal - were all talented, and all open to the purpose and validation Batman was offering.
He brought them together at a meeting he didn't attend in person.
(The thermometer's a countdown to Mr. Freeze.)
The team was dismissed shortly after, with homework from Batman - initial targets for their talents.
They came back, the next night and the next, making progress on their assignments.
(Mr. van Daalen's first name is Gerald.
Dr. Charan's is Mira.)
Their work led them to discover that the mobster Scotta was ' .. trying to buy something.. broker some sort of deal.. [jump himself] into the big leagues. '
They also discovered remains - " tissue ", apparently from a dog that'd suffered " deep cellular trauma ".
Elsewhere, Dr. Victor Fries was living through the aftermath of his disastrous attempt to save his wife Nora from Huntington's disease via medical application of the cryogenic technology he was helping develop at his job.
Victor took in the image of Nora.
(" Parke " and " [his] team " are his boss and colleagues, respectively.
Their work was being funded by the military, something he was fine with as far as " deterrent ".
They were comfortable with going further, and set that up while he was with Nora, causing his attempt to heal her to go like this.)

I don't think it's just my usual Robin obsession, but the idea that Batman could share his mission with anyone didn't seem to arise until he met Dick Grayson. If he was already operating a team (especially one that obviously didn't suffer a horribly ironic fate) then he'd be a very different Batman.
