Read For Free Batman Beyond 2.0, Vol. 1: Rewired Imagined By Kyle Higgins Formatted As Digital Format
really enjoyed as a fan of Dc and Batman Beyond animated series and movie, I was so excited to buy this and even more so to read this and I am glad I did because it was so excellent, the multiple stories were exciting and followed on so well that you didn't lose the momentum from one to the other.
But what was truly great was that the return of one of my favourite characters Dick Grayson aka Robin aka Night wing who I've been a fan of ever since he was created can't wait to read the second volume.
It lacks as a comic somewhat if I'm honest it felt like it was in a holding patten with each issue covering the same ground over and over Really solid continuation of the Batman Beyond comics that captures the atmosphere of the show impeccably.
I liked seeing Dick and Babs return as supporting characters,.stars
I fell in love with the Batman Beyond animated series as a kid, A modern, futuristic story of a retired Bruce Wayne taking on a new heir to take up the Batman mantle, Even though it was an updated new take on the Batman mythos, it still had that same wonderful style that the original animated series had,
This volume has a decent plot, nothing overly original or mind blowing, And the art is good, except for a lot of the action sequences that were often very hard to follow, Ok, though I wouldn't bother reading it again, This was a pretty solid read, Thony Silas did a bang up job on the artwork as did Kyle Higgins on the story, It started kinda iffy for me with the Rewire storyline, because I am still not sure how I feel about him as a character, But the ManBat story was awesomely done, as well as the short exchange between Dick Grayson and Barbra Gordon, Terry is cool and all, but my favorite part about this series are the interactions between all the aged superheroes, That is what really make this book work for me, Terry kicking ass certainly does not hurt either, Not bad . Not great . just kind of Meh!
I never really got behind the whole Batman Beyond thing! I think I can see why they chose to add "," to the title. While this is a continuation of the animated series, it doesn't quite pick up where it left off, Part of the new set up is a little murky, I'm getting the impression that they're using the Return of the Joker film as a major event that caused more than a few changes that we didn't get to see happen.
But at the same time, some of those changes don't seem to line up with
how I remember that film ending, I feel like they need to do a flashback arc to illustrate the connections they're implying here,
Otherwise, I think it holds pretty true to the series, We get two separate story arcs: one dealing with a new villain in the universe that teams up with a few of the other new villains that were introduced in the Beyond cartoons, and one dealing with the return of an old enemy from Bruce's bat days.
Which reminds me, it was kind of a nice touch to see elements from the Batman Animated series retold here as flashbacks, I felt it helped to tie it more into the continuity of the DC animated universe,
As I don't usually follow DC comics, I'm not sure if there's more coming in this series, I'll have to remember to keep an eye out for them, Definitely more along the lines of what I expect from this series! We get Bruce Wayne, Terry McGinnis, and Dick Grayson working together and lots of badass Barbada Gordon! Both arcs "Rewired" and "The Bat Men" are entertaining, explore conflict between characters, and have that quintessential Batman feel.
First of all, kudos to the art team on this book, Thony Silas' pencils are very dynamic and Andrew Elder's colors do a fantastic job evoking the mood and look of the Batman Beyond tv show, The script does a good with this too, There are no inner monologues this time so the story is being told in a familiar fashion to the tv show as well, The antagonists in this volume aren't great, but the relationship drama between the characters is great and promises some big reveals, The story featuring Eric Weight's art is great too, It's a slightly sketchier version of Bruce Tim's style and looks really great, This book feels like theth season we never got, which is great, but it's also written for people who are very familiar with the show and care about those characters.
So while I think the book is fantastic, there's no guarantee a newcomer and just jump into the series, when I was a kid this show was my favorite thing on cartoon network, After years of Batman to see a sequal in the same universe was amazing to me, To this day Batman Beyond is my favorite batman ever and Terry one of the greatest characters I love this art, It's gorgeous. The stories Don't really do a lot in service of the batman beyond mythos and universe, The stories are passable but not my favorite by any stretch of the imagination, Forgettable Excellent
Two excellent stories plus a short that introduce new characters and generally expand on the Beyondverse, Also, I really like the art! This was my first experience with Batman Beyond besides seeing a couple clips of the cartoon, This is definitely not the place to jump onboard, though, as it continues an existing story, and at some point the new Batman, Terry, had a fallingout with the original Batman, Bruce, so now Dick is his mentor.
I dont know if in this continuity Dick was ever Batman or only Nightwing, DC continuity is so completely screwed up that I have no idea what is even relevant any more,
The stories here are fine, but Im missing some context, Ive always liked the design of the future Batsuit, even if the face part doesnt make sense, It molds to his face and around his moth somehow Nanotechnology or something, I guess, Nice to see Commissioner Gordon on the case, except of course its Barbara, Batgirl herself, which adds another layer, and I quite enjoyed seeing the return of ManBat.
For him, at least, we do get a complete backstory, since this seems to be his first appearance in the future, and that complete backstory does a lot of heavy lifting for both plot and the theme of second chances.
The art is good despite switching artists for different installments, I guess I should read the older books to see what happened, Maybe Ill do that. Maybe. The story felt a little bit recycled, nothing we haven't seen before, The art was good, the partnership between Dick and Terry was growing on me, This is one of the best Batman stories by one of my favorite Batman writers! I cried, a lot, It was so moving and surprising This was excellent, It felt like watching the television show in its prime, Each voice captured the characters and provided strong emotional depth, Art was fantastic and drove the Neo Gotham image home, What set this apart was the empathy created from emotional complications in character relationships, Seeing them work over obstacles and grow by the end of each story made the difference in reaching astar rating, Loved it! Being a digital first comic meant it had some very power art and lazy layouts, Not a terrible book but not really enough to keep my attention, I keep trying to get into Batman Beyond but the series writers just aren't doing it for me, Rewire was aight, Langstrom was good,
World: I like the art, it's not quite the show and it has a more complex and serious tone to the art, I like it. The world building was solid, building upon the Night of Joker and moving the animated series world forward with characters, The call backs were also very wonderful,
Story: The Rewire story was interesting but nothing we've not read before, it's the characters in the story that make the story mean something, otherwise I'd be meh.
The Langstrom story is also good with the call back from the past it's good,
Characters: Good stuff with Terry and Dick I did not see that but I really like it, The stuff with a Langstrom was great,
Solid but if not for the characters it would have been forgettable,
Onward to the next book!,
