Probably the last of these books that I read, but also one of my favorites so far. The problem with a lot of these is that I don’t know the context. They’re going to be more understandable for people who know that, which means basically knowing everything that goes on in all of the Batman timeline.
That being said, the first three here were okay, and mostly discernible from context (pun intended) clues. [SPOILERS!]
First: Batman Beyond (Terry)has to find who killed Bruce Wayne, and it turns out to be a super-AI that he manages to shut out in a few minutes (I guess Bruce really did plan for everything).
Second: Batman (Damian) is fighting his way up a tower toward someone called the Executive, seeing all his old enemies as the 7 Deadly Sins and murdering them…except they’re some sort of hologram? This one was the most difficult without context.
Third: Batgirl (Cass) beats up and escapes from some bad guys. Not much to it, but a fun one.
And finally: My favorite, 853rd century, on the prison planet of Pluto, a robot Batman and Robin stop a prison escape. Batman shifts between multiple Batman “modes” to stop each criminal, such as Knightfall mode to stop the Bane-like one. I really loved that, and it had a heartwarming end too.

I really liked the Terry McGinnis (Batman Beyond) story, wanted to give 5 stars. But lost a star for the Damien Wayne story. The following stories meh to good, the Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) story was just a vague fight scene, there was no story. The very futuristic story (somewhere faaaar into the future) was really good.
