Blight Returns!So, I read this a little bit out of order (I read 10,000 Clowns first; oops), but it was still a great book. I'm a little disappointed that there's no resolution to the Grayson plotline and none for the foreseeable future, but I was overjoyed with the Blight story. I was always disappointed that the TV show left it so open-ended but then never had Blight come back for revenge; talk about a waste of a great villain! But here he comes with a sense of entitlement worthy of a toddler

I want to like Batman Beyond - the character’s a great design and it’s Batman but in the future! So why is it seemingly so hard to write a good Batman Beyond comic? Industrial Revolution is a jamboree of stories: an irradiated employee of the Justice League’s Watchtower called Carson Jatts decides to steal some supervillain tech and take over a mall(!); Batman tries to keep old man Grayson’s secret identity as Nightwing from getting out; some industrial action shenanigans take place at Wayne-Pow...

A shame. Could have been an excellent continuation onto the timmverse stories. Instead we get a mishmash pile of boring tropes set in that world with no cohesion. Even worse is the hamfisted insertion of DCU world continuity over the already established and more enjoyable animated one. Messy.

Stays true to the show. The last issue, which wasn't really related to the main thread of the other issues, was the most well-written. It's decent as an extension of the animated show but won't make fans of newcomers.

There has been a good deal of fan support urging the corporate owners of this character not to forget about him and his supporting cast. Really the premise does work. For various reasons Bruce Wayne has found someone from out the "Bat" family to assume the role of Batman in the mid 21st century. I enjoy how Bruce is written as a bit of crotchy old man, and Terry is a typical teenager, pushing against his "parental" authority. Writer Adam Beechen does borrow a little bit from the Spider-Man playb...

5/10I liked this book a lot more than Hush Beyond, 1) because I thought the art composition was better and the action more kinetic 2) the first story is kinda fun, has some stakes, and more effectively shows the pros/cons of Terry and Bruce crime fighting dynamic. The rest of the book sets up some interesting plot lines, but the stories are largely forgettable, and plagued by more bad art. The return of Blight was also a MASSIVE disappointment, with the character always speaking in poorly writte...

I felt the storytelling was much stronger in this issue, and much more in-line with the series. I'm still not a fan of the art here, but it was less of a distraction in this volume because I was more into the story.

This is a review for this entire era of Batman Beyond comics, from Industrial Revolution all the way to the 2.0 stuff. None of that newer Dan Jurgens trash. Unlike those, this series is actually a followup to the cartoon, and a really great sendoff for the DCAU, wrapping up several minor plot threads that were left hanging, and celebrating the universe as a whole. Not every story is amazing, but it all builds to a big, fun finale that's worthy for any well-versed DCAU fan.

Art: 4/5 Story: 3/5Felt a bit all over the place, but it was a semi-fun read regardless.

I don't understand why they messed up this volume with an apathic storyline, ugly drawings and more Dana Tan. I want to see more Terry, not the Justice League in the future nor Dick Grayson.

Everything about this volume was instantly forgettable, from the messy art to the competent, but ineffective storytelling. To its credit, the comic reflects the Batman Beyond television series very well, reading like a handful of episodes, just not particularly good ones. The characters are static, the villains are flavorless revenge stories, and the sci-fi setting is barley illustrated here at all. Also I guess in the future the Justice League is reduced to dealing with hostage situations in Go...

Could have done a better job with the characters. There are a few inconsistencies with Batman's suit though.

Very solid. World: The art is good, it fits the TV show but also is stylized enough to be it's own thing. The world building is also solid, building upon the TV series and the books before it. The stage is set for more stories and the changes in the status quo were good as down the road they will lead to better stories. Story: Solid. The first story with the Matter Master was a but of a yawn but everything else in the arc was good. Industrial Revolution is great and changes things having Wayne w...

I didn't even like the TV show, let alone the new book series.

More stories set in the world of Batman Beyond. Old foes return with new schemes.

The artwork is similar to the TV show but be warned this is a jumble of tales than all of them being strung together logically.Terry McGinnes is the new Batman because Bruce Wayne has become too old and the latter gives tech support from afar (the new Batsuit has all types of improvements and upgrades that would put the standard one to shame).I liked the showdown with the JLA and the face off with a mystery villain the most. The section about Nightwing was the weakest.Written by Adam Beechen and...

Playful yet heavy, mired in Bat tradition yet wholly new and accessible. Truly excellent. The art is exactly the kind that appeals to my sensibilities and the characters are deep and entertaining. Themes of industry, sex, trust, relationships, responsibility and age, workers rights and the implications of living in a world of metahumans and superheroes stand out. The last story about Inque gave me veritable chills. Also- LOVE this costume, LOVE the diversity of the cast, LOVE the combination of

it's helpful to know what you're getting when you pick up this graphic novel. it's literally just a compilation of several different comic issues with no continuity at all.that said, some of the stories are incredibly intriguing. i really liked the varying perspectives, especially those of max and inque and the justice league tie in was fun, as well as entertaining with warhawk. i would definitely like to learn more about dana's brother, who was apparently in prison for being a joker. dana's act...

The addition of Batman Beyond to the full DC Universe begins here. This volume opens with a formerly loyal Watchtower employee learning he has a few months to live. Blaming the Justice League for his deteriorating condition, his plans for revenge result in his transformation into the newest Matter Master. With his mother and brother trapped with the villain, Batman must put aside Bruce's animosity towards the League and rescue his family. The volume continues to throw upheavals at young Terry: D...

This was more of a desperate read because I was in the mood for a new Batman story, but I didn't have any other stories to read. The stories were fun to read, but I didn't really take anything from them. I always like to see how Gotham has changed in this series though which is always fun.
