Batman Beyond 2.0 #14 Review –“When the Blood Thickens!”


Intro

Since the last time I reviewed Batman Beyond, Kyle Higgins has been doing a phenomenal job all the way through. If you have been reading the series, you can tell how much of a big fan of the DCAU he is. He’s been creating so much back history of the DCAU characters that reflect on the relationships of the characters that are in the Batman Beyond world right now. It really gives the nods to all of our favorite DCAU series that we grew to love over the years. At this moment, Terry McGinnis and Bruce Wayne have been at different sides of table. Terry has been working with Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne has been working alone. But now they are forced to work together to fight off Man-Bat (Langstrom) and this has caused the lines of their relationship to thicken.  If you’re a big fan of the DCAU or if Batman Beyond has been in your interest than I suggest you collect the volumes and jump in this series very soon!

Story

Terry and Bruce are forced to work together to stop Man-Bat from creating a city of Bat-people. Will they convince him to stop or will he keep pressing through?

The Good

Terry and Bruce have been at different crossroads and now finally see these two meet and force to work together is great. We also get to learn more secrets of the Batman family relationships and we get to see how Bruce and Man-Bat relationship are at the same with him and Terry.
Emilio Lopez and Tony Silas have done a great job on the art. There’s been many great action scenes and good use of colors. The character face expressions are done so well that you can tell how close these characters are. The only problem I had was that some panels less detailed.     

The Bad

I couldn’t find anything wrong with this issue besides two panels being less detailed. Since it was the only two panels, I didn’t feel the need to take points away for it.

Verdict

I give this issue a 5/10 out of 5/10 stars. This is a really great issue that intensifies relationships and action. It was great to see Bruce and Terry put their bad relationships aside and work together to solve this case. The art has great action scenes and good face expressions that explain great moments with the characters. So, if you’re looking to see how Terry and Bruce’s relationship goes up and down like a roller coaster, then I suggest you pick this up.
