Helga is a remorseless and narcissistic monster and Savage has foolishly acquiesced to a favor that has blown up in his face; I don't think I've ever seen him lose his composure, even when the Team and the other young heroes stepped into the summit between the Light and the Reach

And of course the Outsiders and Jefferson are outraged by the Batman Family, alongside M'gann and Aquaman having lied to them and basically manipulated them even for the sake of "the mission", which is honestly becoming increasingly disgusting to me how Bruce justifies his actions

Once Tara reports that to the Light, the Light will find a way to expose the Team, the Justice League, and the Outsiders are technically working together despite the JL disavowing the members who resigned and claiming they weren't affiliated with the Outsiders; this could destroy any standing they have left with the public and the United Nations If things were different and Darkseid didn't have Halo, I bet the Light would blow the whistle on the Bat Family connecting all the teams like that but I don't think the Light will. Savage has stated that he needs the League around for his plans before. With Granny taking Halo away like that he'll likely want to use the League to at least get some personal revenge on Darkseid first before doing something like that to them.

Batman showing almost no remorse is not surprising to me. He's done stuff like this before (in other media). Plus, and I hate to admit this, his methods are really the only (known) available way to take on someone like Savage at this point.
