8 on Batman Beyond #40 reviewIf it weren’t so similar to previous issues, Batman Beyond #40 would more successfully set a course for the series to proceed. Ever since Batwoman’s introduction, Jurgens’ scripts follow a very similar template. Batwoman saves the day in some inconsequential set piece, Bruce and Matt stand around clueless to her identity, and Blight makes a…
Much to its benefit, Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond usually features a consistent art team on each arc. While not every artist featured in the series has been equal in talent, the consistency gives a steady identity to the series, at least in five to six issue chunks. However, in Batman Beyond #39, Inaki Miranda takes…
The new Batwoman takes center stage in Batman Beyond #38 as she tears across Gotham leaving Bruce and Matt McGinnis playing catch up. While the issue finally brings together some plot threads, writer Dan Jurgens finds himself wrapped up in a repetitive plot structure with readers being one step ahead of our lead characters once…
Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond is in a transitional state after the previous arc has left Terry with amnesia and has introduced a mystery newcomer who’s taking over the Batman mantle. Although the series is nearing forty issues, most of the run has succeeded primarily due to the likable and well defined ensemble cast Jurgens established.…
Batman Beyond #36 concludes what is definitely the weakest arc in Dan Jurgens’ otherwise very solid run. Even at the series’ lowest point, Jurgens manages to put together a narrative that works despite questionable art that nonetheless gets the job done. This is a functional comic book and that isn’t meant to be a flippant…
I’ve been reading and watching a lot of Batman Beyond the last few weeks to re-familiarize myself with the world and its characters. In doing so, I’ve fallen back in love with all that the Beyond universe has to offer both Batman fans and those interested in more cyberpunk themes such as the danger of…
Arrow's days are numbered. With just 10 episodes left, the series that kicked off what we now call the Arrowverse is coming to a close. But these DC superhero shows are big business for the CW. Batwoman is starting this fall after a splash intro during last year's Elseworlds crossover. With Arrow on the way…
Debuting on Jan. 10, 1999, Batman Beyond was the future-set Batman series you never knew you needed in your life until you had it. After the end of Batman: The Animated Series, no one would blame you if you felt no animated version of the Dark Knight could ever be that good again. Then along…
So I recently got a box of Batman: the Animated Series and Batman Beyond goodies from Diamond Select. I expected to like the PVC Gallery figures (like this Laughing Fish Joker I reviewed last week), but I wasn't too excited about the resin busts—an SDCC-exclusive unasked Batman, and an Old Bruce Wayne. What am I supposed to do…
Batman Beyond #6 'Brave New Worlds Part 6' Written by: Dan Jurgens Art by: Bernard Chang Colors by: Marcelo Maiolo Cat's TidBits: What are we expecting from this issue and what can you expect from reading this issue? We can finally see the finale of Brother Eye and Batman's fight, we get to see more…
Last issue of Batman Beyond featured…you know what? Just read the last review. Or this one. It doesn’t matter. Did I just read the same issue twice? No, seriously, this is the exact same thing as last issue. Dan Jurgens must have planned this as some kind of time-loop thing. The parallels line up just…
We’re about halfway done with the first arc of Batman Beyond, which promises to end the story which started last year in Future’s End #0, and I’ve been decidedly split on how I feel about the direction of this series. Dan Jurgen’s story has culminated in the siege of Neo-Gotham by the cyborg forces of…
Two months ago, the “definitive continuity” of the DC Universe was shifted on its end with the disastrous results of Future’s End and Tim Drake’s transportation to a future ruled by the sentient robot Brother Eye. Dan Jurgens’ story has ranged from Neo-Gotham to the ruins of a prisoner camp known as The Lodge. Last issue, Max…
With last month’s debut of Batman Beyond, DC’s latest attempt at retconning the fan-favorite series, I had high hopes for what seemed like a series with high potential. The first issue received mixed but positive reviews, and even with Terry McGinnis’ departure from the Batman mantle, many Batman Beyond fans seemed ready to accept Tim…
With the arrival of a new Batman Beyond series, I decided to spend a good chunk my time researching. I went through almost every episode of the original 1999-2001 cartoon, as well as any comic I could scrounge up: Batman Beyond, Batman Beyond 2.0, Return of the Joker, Justice League Beyond, Justice League Beyond 2.0,…
Batman Beyond Universe #16: “Alternating Currents” Written by Kyle Higgins and Alec Siegel Illustrated by Thony Silas Colored by Guy Major I'm going to miss Terry. This book has always been solid, but right when they open up a new world of possibilities and storytelling with the Justice Lords timeline and that world's characters, the…
Batman Beyond Universe #15: "All In" Written by Kyle Higgins and Alec Siegel Illustrated by Thony Silas Colored by Guy Major Things are winding down, and that's pretty upsetting because there are so many stories that can be told in this universe. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for a new series to…
10,000 Clowns has been released in 3 different stages: a few pages every week online, printed in the Beyond Unlimited anthology series for a few pages more once per month, and all together in this printed trade paperback. If you were patient enough to wait for the trade paperback (15 months), then you made the smart decision!…
Back in January Turner Broadcasting and Warner Bros. Television Group announced that they signed a multi-year agreement with Netflix to add DC Nation programming. Now thanks to Streaming Soon, we know exactly which animated Batman shows are part of the deal. Beginning on March 30th, Batman Beyond, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, and Batman: The…
