Of course, so does Batman who will be in direct conflict with the team of superheroes who is prepared to take over the situation with casualties in mind.įrom what we can see, Batman Beyond #1 has more than enough possibilities worthy of the series and Adam Beechen certainly knows how to handle the story well enough. In the meantime, Commissioner Gordon (obviously Jim retired but the Gordon line hasn’t) sets up his men when the Justice League arrives. However, as Bruce could have told him, the two lives will eventually clash as he finds out when he finds out that Jatts has taken the mall hostage and in the very shopping mall is his mother and little brother. Unlike Bruce who managed to alienate mostly every woman in his life, Terry has decided he could juggle his life as a crime fighter and his love and family life. On the other side of the city, Terry rushes to be with his girlfriend, Dana. Losing his ride, Jatts manages to find refuge in a shopping mall. So Jatts escapes with this new power with the Justice League chasing after him and this Justice League is made up of some very interesting heroes such as Warhawk – who gives chase only to get a taste of Jatts’ new power. He even commits his first murder with his new power. So he enters the facility on his day off to steal a wand and when he does it gives him the power to change anything he touches into various elements.
Given only a few months to live, Jatts gets angry and wants nothing more than to inflict pain and suffering to others. You see, working in the Justice League Watchtower’s Metahuman Evidence Confiscation Facility handling dangerous material over the years has finally taken his toll on him in the form of an incurable disease. Meanwhile, in Metropolis, Carson Jatts gets bad news from his Doctor. Like his mentor, this Batman is good at what he does … albeit his youth makes him a more cockier Batman. While he’s fighting on his own, Terry isn’t alone because he has communication support from Bruce Wayne himself. An aged shut-in now, Bruce sees something in himself in Terry’s tragic past and takes him under his wing – so to speak – to train him as the new Batman.Īs we can see from Batman Beyond #1, Terry has been keeping himself really busy as Batman and in the opening story he is taking down some Joker-worshipping clowns who are committing crimes in the name of the Clown Prince of Crime. With the city in need of a champion once again, a young man named Terry McGinnis not only finds Bruce Wayne but also discovers his secret identity. Batman Beyond, of course, takes place several years in the future when Gotham City’s Dark Knight as well as his alter ego disappear from the radar.
Sure, there was talk about a Batman Beyond comic since then but I guess late is definitely better than never, right? Well, after a long wait, is Batman Beyond #1 worth the wait? With Adam Beechen and Ryan Benjamin behind the title, it certainly is and believe me when I say that Batman Beyond fans will not be displeased.įor those of you who don’t know that story, here’s a brief recap for you. I think I speak for most Batman fans that we have been waiting for a Batman Beyond comic book series since the animated series was introduced to us a long while back.
