Surprisingly a fun read for a DC digital comic. It advances the Batman Beyond universe after where the show left off. Will look out for more.

Really solid continuation of the Batman Beyond comics that captures the atmosphere of the show impeccably. I liked seeing Dick and Babs return as supporting characters.

This was my first experience with Batman Beyond besides seeing a couple clips of the cartoon. This is definitely *not* the place to jump onboard, though, as it continues an existing story, and at some point the new Batman, Terry, had a falling-out with the original Batman, Bruce, so now Dick is his mentor. I don’t know if in this continuity Dick was ever Batman or only Nightwing. DC continuity is so completely screwed up that I have no idea what is even relevant any more.
The stories here are fine, but I’m missing some context. I’ve always liked the design of the future Bat-suit, even if the face part doesn’t make sense. It molds to his face and around his moth somehow? Nanotechnology or something, I guess. Nice to see Commissioner Gordon on the case, except of course it’s Barbara, Batgirl herself, which adds another layer, and I quite enjoyed seeing the return of Man-Bat. For him, at least, we do get a complete backstory, since this seems to be his first appearance in the future, and that complete backstory does a lot of heavy lifting for both plot and the theme of second chances.
The art is good despite switching artists for different installments. I guess I should read the older books to see what happened. Maybe I’ll do that. Maybe.

when I was a kid this show was my favorite thing on cartoon network. After years of Batman to see a sequal in the same universe was amazing to me. To this day Batman Beyond is my favorite batman ever and Terry one of the greatest characters

Ooof. I hate the time jump for the sake of dragging out why so many things have changed... some pretty poor art work too. Oh and my copy is falling apart...

This is one of the best Batman stories by one of my favorite Batman writers! I cried, a lot. It was so moving and surprising

Excellent
Two excellent stories (plus a short) that introduce new characters and generally expand on the Beyond-verse. Also, I really like the art!
