I like the contrast of the two sides of Terry but having Dana stumble on Terry kissing Melanie and then walking away just as she says she loves him….that’s out of a bad soap opera playbook. The Dana/Terry/Melanie triangle has promise because Terry is caught between a woman who’s known him for years, knows he’s Batman, but doesn’t fully understand it, and a woman who’s also known him for years but doesn’t know his secret but, if she did, would understand why Terry is Batman. I can only imagine what Dick Grayson, the first Robin, would have made of a suit like that.īut the rest–there’s nothing wrong with a love triangle, and nothing wrong with Terry worrying about Matt, but both plot points are handled in predictable ways. Nice design! Image via DC ComicsĬorrina: I do love the design of the new Robin costume and its flight ability.
#Batman beyond robin series#
This series has improved, but it still has some characterization kinks to work out. However, the threat isn’t gone, as it seems like Scab’s hallucinations of a monster Batman aren’t his alone – and a new Scarecrow may be on the horizon. It reminded me a bit of Bruce’s abrupt firing of Stephanie Brown. It actually took me a minute to re-read and see what Matt actually did wrong, it was so minor. However, it also leads to the issue’s most problematic scene, when Matt delays for a second carrying out Terry’s orders – and Terry almost immediately blows up on him, seemingly firing him as Robin. This is very much in line with how Bruce treated Dick going back to their earliest days, so it’s a nice callback. Matt is clearly having a lot of fun in his new high-tech Robin suit, but Terry is highly protective and wants him to stick back and protect civilians. The real meat of the issue comes in when Terry and Matt are deputized to head to Gotham and take on Scab. This encounter leads to a kiss, and that leads to Dana seeing – which might finally remove her from the book, since no one has been able to do anything interesting with her. Their debate is interrupted by the arrival of Melanie, aka the reformed Ten, who is looking to convince Terry she’s reformed. At Wayne Manor, Matt is beginning his Robin training, while Terry is still skeptical about Bruce’s decision to bring his little brother in. Castiello’s art is strong, but he seems to draw Gordon significantly younger than she should be.
He’s claiming that Batman’s become a monster and is attempting to draw him out. When the issue kicks off, the GCPD and Barbara Gordon are being held hostage by the crazed Scab, a low-level Joker acolyte who has seemingly become more dangerous. Ray: A new artist and a new partner await Terry at the beginning of this latest arc in Batman Beyond #20, which brings the threat back to the Jokerz that kicked off the series.
