SuaveStar Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I like that character, a fair amount, so I'm still interested. I like him too, but he's a Bruce villain, he's from Bruce's past, not Terry's. They could have taken anyone else, and made it work, but using Hush just doesn't work for me. Also, the art looks shit to me. I flipped through it today. and it just didn't grab me, it did nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Actually, the idea of Hush makes sense, as he basically revolves around secrets from the Bat-family's past. Considering how big a part of Batman Beyond that was (mostly in Return of the Joker), it could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 And I'm interested to see the sick shit Tommy did to himself to keep going as an Octogenarian. Because you know he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDK_theBatmaN Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 So Dick Grayson is Hush beyond. It doesn't make sense story wise. Honsetly, there's really no reason why Dick would become a psycho killer that he's been in the past few issues. Although, seeing as he's a product of Cadmus. And he escaped from Cadmus and set up his hideout just like that? Come on. AND wouldn't Bruce know exactly where Dick would be at all times? Come on. This is bullshit.

Not the least of the issues being Dick Grayson's alibi. He was with Terry when Hush attacked Catwoman and fought Robobat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 And Batman Beyond is now one of the comics industry's quality-less cash cows. NYCC 2010: BATMAN BEYOND GOES FROM MINI TO ONGOING IN JANUARY Wednesday, October 6th, 2010 By Alex Segura One of the pleasant surprises of the last few months has been BATMAN: BEYOND, from writer Adam Beechen and artist Ryan Benjamin. Beechen’s whodunit take, involving Batman villains past, present and future, connected with fans of the original animated series and a number of new readers intrigued by the futuristic Batman and his vast supporting cast – both familiar and new. Paired with Ryan Benjamin’s dynamic and stylized art, BATMAN BEYOND became the surprise hit of the season and, well, what we’re about to announce became a bit of a no brainer: Starting in January, BATMAN BEYOND goes from mini to ongoing, with a new #1 and the same creative team. What’s in store? What other heroes and villains can we expect to see? I’ll leave that to Mr. Beechen to share at a later date. In the meantime, we’ve got a first look at the cover to BATMAN BEYOND #1, which kind of screams iconic, doesn’t it? Source. I want a Batman Beyond ongoing. However, I also want Beechen to crawl into a dark hole and never write anything ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDK_theBatmaN Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Spoiler alert: They're all Dick Grayson. HAHAHAHAHA ... but seriously, I'm done with this team. Right when I saw the cover I hoped it wouldn't be the same guys, but oh well. DC's not getting my money on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Though it makes sense that they'd clone the original Robin as part of the Batman Beyond project, why couldn't the creative team come up with something original? Ugh! This book sounds worse and worse each month. The worst part? People are clamoring so much for DCAU material, they'll latch onto this POS for dear life just to have new stories.

KnightWing Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 The worst part? People are clamoring so much for DCAU material, they'll latch onto this POS for dear life just to have new stories. Exactly. A lot of the BB fans only got into superheroes because they were kids when the show was on, and therefore don't have much experience with actual comics. No matter how dumb the book gets, they LOVE it just because they get to see Batman-of-the-Future punch somebody. They're the same people that kept buying Loeb's Hulk. Stupidity just doesn't seem to matter whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delete Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I just don't get this weird hybrid thing they are doing for the ongoing Batman Beyond which seems to be DCAU yet mentions stuff from the regular DCU, and then introduce Terry in the proper DCU with Damian as his mentor. If there is going to be an ongoing I say explore the Terry/Damian stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I wonder if any of the top-level DC writers are big BB fans? I doubt that any of them actually grew up with the show. Maybe that's the problem? Beechen was the best writer they had who had a strong interest in the story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupidity just doesn't seem to matter whatsoever. Excuse me, but I take offense to your comment. I think that I have plenty of comic book knowledge and appreciate the predecessors before some of my favorite DCAU shows. I enjoy this BB series because it is indeed fun to see one of my favorite characters expanded upon in a comic book. Is it the best storyline? No, but I'm appreciate that it's something and the world of Neo-Gotham hasn't died. It's not stupidity at all. I'm a fan eager to get more knowledge about one of my favorite series and see it though.

KnightWing Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Hey, fine, everyone's got their preferences. I mean no offense, honestly. If you enjoy it, then good for you. I still stand by my statement, though. There are a lot of BB fans out there who are only reading it because it happens to star their favorite character and they like watching him punch things, not because it's actually good.
