Reviews

[Burton Olivier]

Love seeing a team come together.

[Nymphe]

Okay... This issue was not bad.

Let's start at the beginning. The little flashback to Bruce's decision to take Dick in was a strong opening, especially after the end of the last issue. I'm always up for scenes like that, and I think they're sometimes the best part of the comic.

I also think it's nice that all the heroes have come together now, even if it happened rather quickly. Dick and Barbara's reconciliation in particular was so quick that I couldn't believe it. Dick didn't either, and quite rightly so. All he has to do is almost get killed and all is forgiven and forgotten. That's a bit rushed.

But anyway, it was still better than the fact that everyone can see the Joker, but it wasn't explained why until a few pages later. I understand why some people have problems with the Joker's appearance. Personally, I can't quite get used to it yet either.

I love this universe. I say it every time. But in this version? I especially love Joker Hologram. I lol'd in this one. Great action, team rebuilding, and a plan. I hope there's more when this one concludes.

Todo está dispuesto al fin para un desenlace bombástico a la altura de todo lo que ha ido edificando Sean Murphy en este nuevo capítulo de su reinvención del Batverse. El nuevo encontronazo de Terry con el traje de Batman Beyond contra Bruce sigue cimentando una nueva forma de interés en esta relación. Así lo hace Sean con casi todos los personajes. Como el rematar por fin el reencuentro de Dick con Bruce, la obra y el lectore o lograr que el Jack digital termine de trascender de la perspectiva individual de Bruce y siga ofreciéndonos los momentos más divertidos y entrañables.


El Whiteverse es sin duda el mejor vergel creativo actual con la mitología de Batman. Ya sea por el refrescamiento visual o por los juegos conceptuales del autor que gustarán más o menos. Pero que se sienten por lo menos novedosos o provechosos. Lo cual es decir mucho a pesar que DC tiene como mil frentes abiertos todas las temporadas con este personaje y su universo.

"It takes more than that suit to make you Batman, Terry.

You'll see."

4.5 stars. The ending of the previous issue had me scared as hell but everything worked out like I wanted! The scene of Dick, Babs, and their son was PRECIOUS! Ugh, I love them so much!
