Instead, I’ll leave it to you guys to discuss the twist in the comments and I’ll go into more detail next month with issue #2.Īrtist Thony Silas does a terrific job of capturing the look and feel of these characters and the futuristic world they inhabit while still putting his own stamp on it. I recommend the book (or at least suggest you download the digital version from comixology) and there is one turn-of-the-page surprise that’s a definite “OH SNAP!” moment that I don’t want to spoil accidentally and I’m confident that it will get a lot of people talking. However, I’m not going to divulge those details here. So what changes happened over the course of the past year? Big ones. If you are a new reader but an old fan of the show then I think you’re going to enjoy what you find here and it’ll only make you hungry to dig up Beechen’s books and see what you missed. But really, the thing that excited me most initially was how right from the very first page characters referred to Gotham as Gotham and not “Neo-Gotham.” That has always bugged me…Īnyway, so the story picks up one year after Joker Night, which isn’t a terribly important detail but occasional references to events and characters only introduced in the comic series during Adam Beechen’s tenure will throw the cartoon-only crowd for a loop (not so harshly that it will hurt your enjoyment of the book, though). Every character’s voice is spot-on, he uses characters from both the show and the movie ( Return of the Joker), and is well aware of what aspects of Beyond can change and what must stay the same in order for us to reach a point where the Justice League Unlimited episode “Epilogue” can happen. He writes this comic with a confidence that only comes from knowing this world inside and out. If you’ve read the interviews or listened to Kevin Smith’s Fatman on Batman podcasts then you know writer Kyle Higgins is a huge fan of the Batman Beyond animated series and it’s very evident in this book. Batman Beyond 2.0: Rewired– Nothing Lasts Forever This relaunch is mostly friendly to new readers just as long as you at least know the Batman Beyond/Justice League Beyond basics from watching the original TV series. Didn’t read any of Batman Beyond Unlimited? Don’t worry about it. This is a relaunch that features all-new creative teams who have taken the story left behind by the previous series Batman Beyond Unlimited and jumped events ahead by one year. Batman Beyond Universe #1 collects two digital firsts ( Batman Beyond 2.0 and Justice League Beyond 2.0) into one $3.99 book.
