Technically, this is the only canon pre-new 52 Batman Beyond book.... except it's not exactly canon because it takes certain events from the Batman Beyond animated series. The idea was to mesh Batman comic book continuity with some events that happened in the Batman Beyond animated series. So in other words, continuity wise this is a mess, but it's still a pretty solid read in its own right.
Someone disguising as Hush in Neo-Gotham is killing off Batman's former villains, Bruce and Terry must work together to find out who's behind the killings with the help of a new Catwoman and Dick Grayson.The twist was quite good and the bigger twist was revealed during the epilogue. The limited series extended the storyline from the TV show in a meaningful way. If you liked Batman Beyond, this would be a must read for you.
I would have liked a little more just Terry and it makes me a bit sad that all of the former bat family are bitter, but all in all, I liked this a lot.
Was it anything close to as good as the show? No, but it was still fun. Bruce Timm and his cohorts did their best not to just do "Joker Beyond" or "Two Face Beyond" over and over and make a stand-alone show, but some curiousities were annoyingly never answered. What did happen to all those characters we loved so much from "Batman: The Animated Series?" We got some answers in the "Return of the Joker" movie, but the fact that we never got to check in with Dick Grayson in the entirety of "Batman B...
Despite my years as a Batman fan, I never watched Batman Beyond until this last year - within just a few episodes, I understood why this television series was so beloved, and I immediately began looking into all the related comic books. Hush Beyond was a recommendation from fans that really caught my attention, and now that I’ve completed the limited series I can see why so many fans of the show enjoyed this comic.Prior to diving into Hush Beyond, I’d recommend that you complete both the televis...
The setting is again Gotham City of the future. Teenager Terry McGinnis has inherited the cape and cowl of Batman from Bruce Wayne, who has mostly retired. There is a breakout at Cadmus Labs, and someone begins hunting down old enemies of the original Batman, using the name Hush. The killer knows too many of Batman's tricks, and it will take the intervention of allies old and new to win this time.
I LOVE Batman Beyond so I figured I'd give this book a shot and wow do I hate this. The book tries to tell a Batman Beyond story using characters from the mainline continuity and I think it fails miserably.I'm not a fan of the original Hush and I dont find this version very compelling either. And while it could be argued that the appeal of Batman Beyond is more so Terry's relationships and not his rogues gallery, the relationships aren't done well here either. Terry's family and girlfriend are h...
I am totally glad of having bought this TPB. I didn't expect much since the creative team wasn't much known and it wasn't one of the main titles on the DC line. However, the result was very good. Adam Beechen crafted a extremely good story using the best elements from the Batman Beyond lore knowing how to insert the stuff from Batman/Hush saga. This is a story quite entertained that maybe lack a little of the hard stuff shown on Return of the Joker but still it's an excellent script. On the art
This wasn't my favorite Batman Beyond storyline. Bruce's character seems to be taken to extremes as a means to push the plot forward instead of for any real character development. His "development" at the end feels forced and emotionless. Terry, too, felt a little flat--no more than a tired teenager trying to prove himself to the old man. But there was no sense of the REASON he was working so hard. No sense of the troubled youth with a sense of justice that made the tv show so compelling.The art...
One of my all-time-favorite television series (animated or otherwise) EVER returns in the form of a monthly comic book. That's great. What's even better is that it turned out to be so good. Striking a perfect balance between the Timmverse (the collection of cartoon series run by Bruce Timm, such as Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, and Justice League) and the DCU (the printed comic book universe of DC characters), it told a story tying together the comic book Batman with the animated t...
The plot of this should have made this book dumber than it was, but it was written as convincingly as it could have been I think. Terry McGinnis is doing triple overtime as Batman, and just as he’s running on fumes, a copycat killer shows up, taking out old Batman villains. The villain’s identity is a…rough surprise. The core story and some characterizations felt like a stretch, but I didn’t regret reading this. The art isn’t terrible, but not my favorite. It could be due to my loyalty to the an...
Terry McGinnis has been working hard to win Bruce Wayne's trust as the new Batman (Beyond) but nothing every seems good enough. When someone starts killing Batman's old enemies plus a few innocents, the relationship is strained even further. A partial-resolution comes when an older Dick Grayson, a new Catwoman and the two Batman's team up to defeat an insane, Cadmus-created Dick Grayson clone bent on destroying pretty much everything. Bruce comes to a realization but old wounds cannot be forgott...
Ahh, I'm so glad I picked this up! This is the sequel to Hush, one of the best Batman graphic novels of all time - which, admittedly, does not require a sequel. However, this book does a great job introducing batman villains and allies, enfolding them in the beyond timeline and developing their characters in believable fashion. The art perfectly blends the style of the batman beyond TV show with a classic comic book style. The story is reminiscent of the original Hush without retrodding familiar...
Meh. Not bad but certainly did not deserve to be in the same vein as "Hush." Whole plot was a little iffy - the government hack who famously distrusted super heroes wanted to clone a *human*, whose powers come by learning, training, and wealth? And worse, when she doesn't get that clone, she clones his sidekick? Makes 0 sense.
As a fan of Batman Beyond I am glad to see it come back, but a little disappoint in the execution. The artwork does a great job representing the style of the show. Part of the reason Beyond was so successful was the creators did not just do “Beyond” versions of Batman rogues. The few times they did do it they were extremely well done (Mr. Freeze and Joker). The strength came from Terry facing his own villains and solving the problems his own way. Not so much here, the writers do the opposite her...
Someone is killing the original Batman's enemies. It looks like the baddie may be Hush but he's supposed to be dead. This is a great story, an ideal introduction to the Batman Beyond universe. All the characters are fleshed out, and its nice to see how they all end up. A true page turner. A very good read.
Batman Beyond returns after about a decade out of the spotlight and this time writer Adam Beechen is pulling in more connections to the wider DCU including riffing on stories that hadn't been written when Batman Beyond was first created in the late '90s. Feels pretty true to what came before and at least one character's twist was really neat.
i'll admit that i was drawn to this because i was a huge fan of the cartoon. in fact, while i was wrapping all of my holiday gifts, i decided to have myself a batman beyond marathon (yes, i own all of the dvds). clearly, that marathon put me in the appropriate mood to not only truly appreciate this graphic novel, but propelled me to buy it in the first place.this was much darker and more sinister than the batman beyond cartoon (in terms of blood, violence, villains), but that's also expected in
DisappointingThis is I guess an attempt to restart Batman Beyond in 2010 and it just doesn't cut it. The art is low-res digital with pixels clearly visible and plain bad at times, the coloring is muted for whatever reason and the characters are all grumpy and sad. In 2010's vision of the future it's just not okay for Bruce Wayne to constantly scream into the radio "McGinnis, report!", like the video streams are not invented yet.
I decided to read this because I absolutely love the original Batman: Hush story. It's one of my favorite Batman books. This Hush did not disappoint, but as my first foray into the Batman Beyond universe and story lines... Wow, what a trip. Terry McGinnis is a gift to this world, and one of the only people I will accept as a new Batman. I'm very attached to Bruce Wayne as Batman. But wow, the dynamics of the Bat Family are so messed up in Neo Gotham.As for the Hush story line, it was great, just...
