Wish there was more of a focus on Terry but still a good story so far.

2,5/5. As much as I love the universe, something is missing in the plot and the characters to really catch my attention. I will try one more but I get the feeling this won't be a series for me.

Seguimos descubriendo las reinvenciones Murphynianas a la batmitología. En este caso respecto a Batman Beyond con su serie y película animada está esa esperada presencia de ultratumba digital que por supuesto que aquí se presenta de forma totalmente diferente (aunque en esta ocasión sí que es un concepto cogido por los pelos tan solo por la forma de descubrir en qué momento se dio). Pero lo mejor es ver afrontar a los personajes conocidos el paso de los años y situaciones de esta Gotham futurista y opresiva. Entre ellos, la presencia de Jason Todd, que en el Whiteverse fue el 1º Robin (decisión que el mismo autor descubre que fue un estupendo gran despiste en una página de White Knight), un dato que realmente cambia muchas cosas. Sobre todo para este Dick Grayson aún más acomplejado que de costumbre.

Imposible no soltar un gritito con el cliffhanger Harleyniano de la última página, pero espero poder tener más presencia y foco de Terry Mcginnis ya en el próximo nº. Temiendo que el pj. pueda quedar cojo teniendo ya que venir de la reinvención de Azrael de la anterior entrega central del Whiteverse.

I love the White Knight universe and how it turns known relationships on their heads and emotionally twists then around. Jack (Not Joker) booped grumpy old Bruce. Boop! That's so cute. 😂 Dick and Babs fighting is as natural as you'd expect, for reasons you probably wouldn't in the cannon universe, and AI Jack getting flustered by Harley is cute, too. Cute isn't a word I usually associate with this universe, but it's definitely welcomed to break the tension. At first, I was happy that Grayson's a dominant player in this issue, but then I remembered that he's a Dick, so... 😂 And Jason - I'm pretty sure there's a one issue special spin-off for him coming (or maybe out now? I'm catching up). I have to admit that I didn't see that last page coming and I was totally echoing Jack in that last panel. Love it and can't wait for #3.

Another fantastic issue full of awesome moments and twists and turns!
Love the way Jack and Bruce interact in this issue, reminds me of Joker in arkham knight and I think its a very clever way of implementing the character.
I absolutely love this series so far and the world Murphy has built, can't wait for #3!!!

Okay, I truly wasn't expecting Jack to be an AI in Bruce's head but I love it.

[The Wintermute System · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent but I was hoping we'd get to see more of Jason's backstory and present in this, as he was sold as a major point in issue one.

It’s so hard to see how far Dick has fallen but I love this premise and story so far

[Evelin ☪️ Queen of Witches · Rating 4 out of 5]

Baby is all over the place but it’s okay I still love you ❤️

"Sorry, Dick. But you took the wrong lessons from everything I tried to teach you.

If you want to protect Gotham, you imprison the criminals...

Not the city."
