Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic #1

 

 

SCORE: 72

 

 

 

Long time readers know I was happily surprised by Batman Beyond Neo Year. At the end of the run it mentioned Batman Beyond would come back in 2023. Here we are in August of 2023 (at least the time this review is being written) and Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic #1 is being reviewed. Peter noticed this comic book right away when we were at the comic book store and knew it was one I wanted to read. Here I am reading and reviewing it. There will be spoilers in this review.

Now that the AI is no longer there to keep the criminals in check it is open season on crime. That means Batman must work really long hours trying to stop all of these criminals. Batman is the only one doing anything about crime in Neo Gotham. Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic #1 shows the toll on Terry McGinnis. I also learned a bit about his mother and brother in Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic #1. Terry sent them away when Bruce Wayne was murdered.

Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic #1 contains thirty pages of comic book content, and then some advertisements. The issues families can have with Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic #1 are violence, and lack of attire. There is this really cool umbrella in Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic #1 that is all lit up. It is also flat. I am not sure if it is warm or not and turns the rain into steam or not. It is a very interesting idea for something used in the future.

Batman goes down into the lower levels of the city in Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic #1. Children have gone missing down there. Sinkholes is the theory but it does not fit the profile. Readers see early on that the kids are being sucked down thanks to the plants. A future Poison Ivy perhaps? A cat like humanoid creature helps out Batman by being a guide. For a price of course. They run into a real problem in the lowest level they go to though.

A giant Croc character walking on two feet grabs Batman in Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic #1. I was thinking Killer Croc at first, but the next issue is supposed to be about King Croc. So many Killer Croc upgraded in the DC Universe future. Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic #1 uses a lot of dark tones. There are some neat two page spreads in Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic #1. The credits is on one of those using up just some of the bottom. Some of the layouts in Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic #1 are really neat to see and read.
