Not bad as a jumping on point for new readers. Nothing in the story is particularly novel or even surprising. But it moves the ball along and sets the stage for what is hopefully a great and solid continuation of the excellent earlier Batman Beyond cartoon and comic universe. ( )

I love the art in this comic. I loved the Batman Beyond series as a kid, but haven't seen it in years. ( )

I have apparently missed a storyline or two in the Batman Beyond comic-verse but this title gave me enough info on what I had missed for me to make sense of everything. (That said, I need to find the series run I missed...)

This has been my favorite of all the Rebirth titles I've read so far. Possibly because it didn't really change post-Flashpoint and I didn't have to relearn characters I already knew. This moved along at a nice clip, the plot was really interesting and made me want to keep reading and learn more, and the twist at the end! Loved it. ( )

So, uh, is Dan Jurgens writing all the DC titles now? Heh?

We go back to the future with Terry and everyone. Apparently Neo Gotham has gotten even more treacherous, because now the Jokerz don't just want to sow chaos and such, but they want money too.

Terry tries to go undercover as well, which goes sorta as one would expect. And then there was the twist near the end. I probably shouldn't have been surprised by it, but I was, and then the even bigger twist that came after that. Whew and whoa.

I was given this ARC through Netgalley on behalf of DC Entertainment. ( )

My Batman Beyond experience has been pretty much relegated to the tv series I watched growing up so sadly I don’t have much knowledge of the print world as this is my first venture into the land of BB graphic novels. I still enjoyed the storylines and feel the author did a fairly decent job of providing enough information to newbies so you don’t get frustrated and just toss this aside. However, I still think you need some kind of exposure to this series of DC’s creation because the origin story for this Batman incarnation is a bit rushed; you don’t get a huge sense of who Terry McGinnis is and how he’s our new hero the way other stories have done with their first volumes.

Jurgens did a fairly good job in his character development, creating a few scenes that you’ll walk away remembering for a while and adding some pretty fun twists & turns into his plot. Granted there are some clichés but it’s a Superhero versus Comic Villain story so that’s to be expected and he does end the volume with a pretty good twist that should have you looking forward to the second volume.

I liked Chang’s artwork as it felt fitting for the story and this particular line in DC’s Rebirth series.

Overall I felt it was a good way to pass the time, it gave me some decent laughs and felt like a solid read. ( )
