Pretty good. I'll buy subsequent volumes if I can find them cheap.
I’m giving Rebirth every chance here. Dan Jurgens has always been a shit writer, Batman Beyond is always a shit title, but maybe - just maybe - the Rebirth version of Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond will be good…? Nah. Terry McGinnis - the OG Batman Beyond - is back from the dead. When did he die? How did he return from the dead? Who was Batman Beyond while he was gone? Not only aren’t they answered but the fact that these questions are asked in this first volume negates the claim on the back cover
Apparently there was a huge war against robots sometime before this book. Which I HOPE was never actually in the comics. I kinda think it was, but I like the idea of having this gigantic robotic cataclysm, and the whole thing happens between books. So everyone's just like, "That was pretty fucked up with those robots, eh?" But we never see that battle at all. Half the people are dead, apparently, parts of town are all screwed up, but we mostly just hear people being all, "Goddamn robots..." Ther...
3.5. Hey looks who's also rolled back!World: The art is good. It's more muted compared to other Chang art, there are less 'action' panels and so when they happen they matter more. The eyes still bug me about this Batman but oh well. The world building is solid, it's the final roll back I hope to make this the same world with some slight changes to fit Batman Beyond to DCU. There are some differences and inconsistent parts but I guess they can use the 'time travel' excuse on everything (Max knowi...
I loved the "Batman: Beyond" animated series, and this Rebirth relaunch is a worthy continuation. Also, it contained a mid-arc twist that even this jaded comics reader hadn't seen coming, so an extra star for that!
It's the same creative team of Dan Jurgens and Bernard Chang so the big change for Rebirth here is that Terry McGinnis is back in the suit. No more Tim Drake as Batman Beyond nonsense.. or any of the stupid Future's End crap either. It's a return to the status quo of the TV show. Terminal has taken over the Jokerz and carved out a section on Gotham as JokerzTown. His ultimate master plan, "DUH DUH DUH", is to bring back the Joker. I'm sure you can see where the rest is headed from here.The Good:...
I've never read anything on Terry before so thought I'd start here. I was in the mood for a Batman novel. Bought the digital copy, but wont be continuing the story. I just felt like the entire story was subpar. Also having never read any of this neo futuristic Batman I felt a little lost.
55% | C+| Good"Couple thousand Joker wannabes? That's beyond Batman"This series is set in the future where the mantle of Batman has gone to Terry McGinnis. No matter the year, as long as there's a Batman, there's always a Joker. A gang coining themselves as Jokerz are wrecking havoc all over Gotham, and it's up to Batman to stop themThis is a very middle of the road Batman story. There are some good elements such as Terry who is a fantastic protagonist, and then there are some bad elements such
5 🌟Terry McGinnis goes to Jokerz Town to rescue Dana Tan from the Jokerz.
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest reviewLet me just start by saying I don't think I've literally ever read a DC or Batman comic except like maybe The Killing Joke and something else back when The Dark Knight movie came out. However, Batman Beyond was one of my favorite shows as a kid so I thought I would request this title for the nostalgia value. I should have just rewatched the show. It was somehow both really boring and ridiculous at the same time an...
Ow yeah! Batman beyond... my new favorite..First time BB for me, so perhaps that's the reason for me being so excited...We're in the future, Bruce is no longer Batman but trained a guy named Terry to be the new Bat..Somebody wants to revive the Joker...but things turn out to be about so many other things... and then the ending... Well, let's just say I could be hooked to this, very quick, if they keep up the pace.. ;)
I never watched the TV show.For those folks, like me, who have not and the idea about Batman Beyond is … beyond them … ahem … then here’s the skinny: Decades in the future, Bruce Wayne is out of the picture and a new cowled crime fighter is wearing the suit and operating out of the Batcave, a beginning that was initiated by a brief association with the elderly Wayne.Writer Dan Jurgens and artist Bernard Chang have done some good work for DC’s Rebirth project on Batman Beyond. Instead of the Joke...
This probably doesn't quite deserve the 4 stars, but Batman Beyond is still one of my favorite cartoons ever. This is the first comic I've read of the character and definitely made me want to re-watch the show and then read all the graphic novels up to this point. I'm looking forward to more Terry McGinnis.
3.7I wasn’t expecting to like this as much as I did since recently I haven’t been liking dan jurgens’ work but this was pretty good.Now terminal was an ok villain mostly because he’s always around the jokerz gang but never acts crazy or like the joker and you get a lot of Lex Luthor vibes but not In the good way, I also thought some dialogue with Dana was annoying.But I love the brother relationship between Matt and terry because you can tell they’re bros, I find that pretty shcway and I liked t...
Art is good, story is ok, but I don't get everything that is going on.That being said, I am kinda new to comics, and have not really been catching up, or all that interested in doing that. Just too many series I want to read to try and make my way back to the beginning of them.So, I am going to assume the war that Terry is talking about takes place in the 2016 Batman Beyond series, where Tim Drake is BB??? (If not, please let me know!) On a side note, library has that series! Volume 1 and volume...
** received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review ** 3.5Having never read anything of Terry McGinnis or seen the Batman Beyond tv show, I went into this as a complete noob. I didn't know anything about Terry except his name; I knew nothing of the side characters or his origin as Batsy. That being said, I found this pretty entertaining and easy to get into. There's enough context clues to understand the history of Terry's world and they give enough of the side characters (Max, Matt and
2020: yeah I forgot I’d read this. It’s fine. I liked it more this time, but it’s damn far from a good jumping-on point.2018: I wouldn’t go so far as to say this was good. And it’s definitely not the jumping-on point it acts like it is (Futures End knowledge required!), but I’m a sucker for Terry as Batman and this was entertaining.
I had fun with this. It wasn't amazing or even great, but it was solid enough for me to have a good time with it. I grew up with Batman Beyond. I respect the 90's Batman Cartoon but it wasn't my thing. I loved Batman Beyond and even the cheese that came with it. Saying that I never read a comic of his. I always felt like it would tarnish the image of Terry so I never tried. I just didn't think it was worth my time. Till Rebirth announced they'd be doing a series. I jumped on to try it out. Glad
'Batman Beyond Vol. 1: Escaping the Grave' by Dan Jurgens with art by Bernard Chang, Ryan Sook and Peter Woods, is an appropriate subtitle for the story told between the covers.The story takes place in a Gotham City of the future. Terry McGinnis was thought to be dead, but he is back as Gotham's Batman. He got his suit and training from Bruce Wayne, who is now dead. The Joker is also dead, but that doesn't stop a large cult of criminals from adopting his persona and running riot in a part of tow...
Everything old is new again as Batman Beyond gets its own Rebirth. Dan Jurgens has his work cut out for him here as he has to catch up the reader on what's been going on with Batman Beyond as a result of Futures' End, as well as set up the next story going forward and restore most of the previous Batman Beyond status quo by bringing back Terry and Bruce.I've not quite finished the cartoon just yet, but I don't think that's too much of a barrier to enjoying this book - the references thus far are...
