Fire up your thruster boots, camouflage Bat-suit and Batarangs down below on which of these schway series has made you (to quote the announcer of TV ads for Batman Beyond on Kids WB) “Go beyond…Batman Beyond”!
@keylimetyrant I agree. While some BB books are better than others, they’ve always had a consistent razzle-dazzle factor from a visual standpoint.
As for a favorite, when it comes to the BB minis, I recently re-read the book that debuted alongside the show and it captured the aesthetic of what was on Kids WB to a perfect degree. As it should since it was written by Hilary J. Bader, who also worked on the Batman Beyond TV series (and other DCAU productions) at the same time.
I’d pick the 1999 mini-series for my favorite BB mini. Fun stuff and a great tie-in.
Dan Jurgens current run is hands down my favorite. It actually feels like the story is moving forward. Something I think a lot of Beyond books lack, IMO.
