Batman Beyond #27

This is the Batman Beyond book we've been waiting for! Read Full Review

Overall, this issue was much more enjoyable compared to the last few of this arc. It captured the psychotic nature of the Joker brought into the future Gotham. Although not a lot of action nor any additional details into how the Joker is present in the future, it felt true to the characters ever-changing mood. Read Full Review

Between Dan Jurgens and Brett Booth, this book is fun, and firing on all cylinders. Fans of Batman, Batman Beyond, and classic comic book storytelling should absolutely check this book out. Read Full Review

Jurgens has written a crazy yet completely fun script that just works. The art and the writing mesh together incredibly well. I'm loving the world they have created. It's full of great characters and some really exciting storytelling. Read Full Review

It takes a unique creative team to take a character everybody knows, completely re-frame him, yet keep him sincere. Great work. Read Full Review

There isn't much story to tell with this issue, but Jurgens' writing of Joker Beyond makes it worthwhile. Read Full Review

Batman Beyond is still one of the most interesting of the Bat-Family of books. Part of the draw is that it is decoupled from the continuity of the main DCU, so no character is safe from being killed or having their status quo permanently affected. And with the Joker bent on reprising his triumph for A Death in the Family, Matt's future looks to be rather grim. Read Full Review

Jurgens delivers a solidly satisfying bit of storytelling here that fails to live-up to its potential. Read Full Review

Now, on to the Nightwing note. When Matt McGinnis left to find his brother before confronting the Joker, Dick addressed Bruce's comment that Robin would be fine in this fight by saying, "Until he takes a crowbar to the face. Or a bullet to the head. The sad truth is that things don't end well for Robins."Unless he's done it in another series, this is the first time Dick Grayson"not Ric"has acknowledged being shot in the head. So for those who can't stand Ric Grayson and are worried their beloved Dick Grayson is lost forever, this is proof he'll be back. Maybe not as Nightwing, but certainly as Dick Grayson, at the minimum. Read Full Review

Definitely an improvement over last month's issue, but Brett Booth's stint on Batman Beyond is still not really capturing the vibe of the issues that were leading up to it. Read Full Review

While the art looks great and the Joker's motivations are fun, this issue just feels really off for how all the characters act......... or fail to act in this serious situation that the story presents.  There's still some fun to be had if you don't look to closely to whats going on, but I was hoping for way more than what we're getting here.  Still though....... Great art. Read Full Review

Having Joker back in action certainly makes things interesting, nostalgic even. His ideologies and the way he adapts to the Neo Gotham is strikingly brilliant. Everything has come together in this issue especially the Bat family dynamics in Bat cave.

Solid issue! Art was pretty good and enjoyed the dialogue, although I feel like the “throwbacks” are a bit eh. Wish we got a full closure on Dana and got more on Dick or at least his daughter to actually talk more. But overall from what we have been getting, the issue wasn’t that bad.

I liked this issue for the most part. Probably because it focused on the Joker making fun of how dumb Batman Beyond is. The stuff with Terry and Mel was uninteresting. But the rest was fine, up until Joker became just as dumb as everything else. Really bummed out by the ending.

Future stories, and the ending was stupid, I cannot get over how much I cannot stand the romance that’s happening.
