I 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 the futuristic art especially the vibrantness of the jokerz suits.

Overall good book.

I actually got pretty bored with this and was ready to give it two stars until the twist at the end. A good twist, but too little too late.

3 people died and come back to life all in one comic book.... very lazy writing and story telling.

Not bad as a jumping on point for new readers. Nothing in the story is particularly novel or even surprising. But it moves the ball along and sets the stage for what is hopefully a great and solid continuation of the excellent earlier Batman Beyond cartoon and comic universe.

Just great. Don't want to give anything away but it is wonderful, action-packed and a bit quipy (in a good way).

Hm okay. So the dialogue is VERY stilted and I could have done without like three fourths of that exposition. But the art is lovely and that twist!!!!!!!!! Plus Terry is ❤❤❤ always. Anything that puts Terry McGinnis back in my life is a net positive.

Its a fun volume and like focuses on Terry after he returns and they have to save Gotham from a gang of jokers and he has to also rescue his former girlfriend Dana and deal with Monster Man and Terminal and deal with whatever he has planned for Gotham city and also the return of Bruce wayne? This volume was good in it that it jumps into the action quick and focuses on Terry dealing with this new status quo of New Gotham, also its fast paced and has so many twists and turns and the coming of (spoiler) Joker and Batman both was cool, seems like something big is on the horizon! Also good focus on Max, Dana, Matt and Commissioner Babs!
