DC To Launch Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #1 In April 2022

I enjoyed their brief Green Arrow run.

You should check out their Boom book with Marcus To, Joyride.

First issue of their Kang mini over at Marvel was pretty good, I think these two have talent. Problem with duo writers though is that if they ever break up like DnA did, they may not be as good separate as they were together.

I'll second Joyride recommendation.

Batman Beyond returns to fight a murderous, sentient Gotham City in April's Neo Year limited series

Do you guys think they will once again change the timeline? So far this is the second Batman Beyond book.

Apparently this is not a continuation of the Jurgens run, so I expect it to be a soft reboot.

Seems like they keep rebooting the Beyond timeline...

Well, it may be hard to change the past, but the future is never set in stone.

Just look at what DC does with the Legion of Super-Heroes!

I'm curious what do you guys hope they keep ?

I don't really have much in the way of what I want them to keep, the Batman Beyond runs have never been all that compelling to me, but I have a couple stuff i would like to see from this. I would like them to more explicitly try to treat it like an elseworld/parallel earth that's just ahead of main continuity that moreso parallels the stories from the animated series rather than acts like a continuation of the animated series. I feel like, when I had read issues from previous Batman Beyond runs, it felt like I was reading an inferior version of the animated series and it also never quite felt like a future DC universe in the comics or apart of the omniverse at all either. I just hope they can adapt the concept from the animated series, apply it to the modern DC universe, then get creative and take wilder swings from there.

tbh I don't have high expectations for this tho. I feel like Future State pretty much scratched my itch for a future set Gotham better than Batman Beyond's ever done in the comics. I'd rather see more of Future State than the Beyond verse. a more interesting concept imo would have been to reboot Batman Beyond in the Future State timeline. I think the last story regarding Gotham is in around 2045, so you could just set Terry in 2050 onward.

Im not surprised but I dont know why DC/WB ignore this franchise outside of comics. Do some DTVs, new show, Justice League Beyond...

I remember when it was rumored they were going to do a movie about it...although wasn't there a JL: Beyond comic? Or maybe that was just an arc in the Beyond comic.

[AmiMizuno]

Yea I'm surprised to that they never made another animated show or animated series. I know around the time of the complete series release a va said they might do a new series. So far nothing has come from that. There were rumors of a tv show for Batman Beyond but that also seems to have follow through. Rumor has it Keaton was suppose to be Playing old man Bruce
