Oh you mother fucker

RIP Terminal, I guess.

Fug.

Come on, it's just the crowbar.
No one actually stayed dead from that.

Wasn't expecting that kind of reference in Batman Beyond. Makes me wonder what a Beyond Era Jason would be up to

Man, I really wish they weren't wasting good art on this...

Well.. Joker put some passion in those hits so you can't be sure about that.

I was so ready to read this, especially with the art it has (even if the Rebirth issue looked even better), but the fact that it has a fucking plot about the fucking joker as its first fucking storyline basically tells me that the writer had zero good plans or ideas for the character and setting.
Rebirth kind of let me down here, to be honest. I was hoping they'd write something a bit more appealing, a bit more intriguing, but they just did a boring old Joker plot instead.

I was hoping for someone else instead but whatever, now we can finally get away from this intro arc at least

Joker's arc is complete. Now it's time for good old R'as Al Ghul. Sure.

Thing is - it probably is Beyond Era Jason considering BTAS Tim endgame.
>they just did a boring old Joker plot instead
With no Joker until last few pages?
I am sure that you was expecting this twist from the previous issues.

it makes sense for ra's al ghul to still be a force/alive (in some way) in the future at least

inb4 in Damian's body

Sure but honestly I expected to see just Beyond villians instead of old ones. Even though they're definitely trying to mix them.

We already had Inque, Abel Cuvier/Splicers, Spellbinder, Terminal and next arc will be about Curare.
Who will be next? Shriek?

I'd really like to see him actually. Or even Powers if he's alive somewhere.

mfw thats a way better costume

Considering Jon is Superman in the Beyond series, this is probably whats going to happen.

Hopefully we still have Damian in the series after that arc.

>I expected to see just Beyond villians instead of old ones
Why not both?

Because old ones belong to the main Batman series. Beyond needs to show more of its vilians without relying on classic ones.

Ra's and Joker were in Beyond though.

Does Jurgens consider tv show as canon though?

I sure don't consider his trash canon to the show.

Is it because of the whole Brother Eye thingy and Apocalypse which was a dumb arc in the first place. Or there is more to it?

arise chicken

I really hope that both this book and Blue Beetle will stick around. Both have potential.

>lol the joker was alive all along
Boring

Question is, who is this Joker.?
In original Beyond there was Tim as the Joker.
In New 52 there are 3 Jokers.
So it still could be interesting, and honestly this twist was unexpected.

It was unexpected in that I didn't want it to fucking happen.
