Batman Beyond, Volume 2: Rise of the Demon
by Dan Jurgens, Bernard Chang
I wonder if I should go back and read other Batman Beyond comics. The only one I read before this was Rebirth and enjoyed that but I feel like sometimes the things they talk about in here I need to know more.
Anyway, this volume is pretty cool. Terry is trying to balance his normal life with being Batman. He loves Bruce but he doesn't want to be LIKE him. He just wants to be a hero with a decent love life/normal life on the side. Something Bruce never had. However, when Barbara gets attacked by the league of Assassins Terry decides to done the suit once more. This time though he puts on a suit that gives him quicker reflexes, more strength, BUT also a A.I. that will do anything to win. So when Terry meets the new head of the League things start to spiral out of control.
Good: The introduction to a certain little badass who's now a full grown man is pretty awesome. The interaction with him and Terry and him and Bruce is great. I also liked the idea of Terry trying to be DIFFERENT than Bruce. He's like a mix of Bruce, Dick, and Tim all in one. Yet he's still unique enough to make his own. Oh and Batwoman Beyond is hot.
Bad: The one shot Batwoman Beyond origin story is just okay. Also some of these fight scenes are poorly drawn. Characters feel too stiff and the action doesn't flow like we'd want. There's also a bit more cheese than I expected from Bruce.
Overall it's a fun title. I think Batman Beyond keeps strong, if not stronger, than the last volume. While not mindblowing I think it's a nice "different" rebirth title and worth checking out for fans of the show/Batman character. 3 out of 5.
