    I really enjoy Batman Beyond and this mini series has been fantastic, but the ending was rather disappointing. 
     
    Good Things: 
    I really liked the story, lots of twists and turns and it was really fun to read and try to figure out. 
     
    Bad Things: 
    I really wish I didn't have so many complaints. The ending really seemed forced. Lots of expository dialogue that was jumbled and scenes that seemed almost dedicated to what the character was saying instead of their actions. Considering the nice and methodical pace the series started with, this ending was nothing spectacular, but rather a jumble of plots points trying to be shoved together. It was really a bit of a let down.  
    I also found the art to be lacking in a few places and at times this led to confusion as to what had just happened in a scene. The pacing was really off near the end of the issue.  
    The characters feel the need to say every little thing they are about to do, and it feels like the author is afraid the reader might not understand the complexities of the plot (of which there are really none).       

    Overall: 
    Worth reading if only to wrap things up, but don't have very high expectations like some kind of amazing and mind-blowing twist. Though it's not the most satisfying conclusion, it gets the job done and ends things with the tiniest bit of a mystery, if you can call it that.

      The Good: Really cool cover. Makes me wish Dustin Nguyen was drawing the interior as well. But Ryan Benjamin's art is great too. it has that kind of just right cartoony look to it that suits this series very well. He's improved greatly from the beginning at drawing Bruce and Terry.  Even when she's old, you STILL don't screw with The Wall. The action was clean, crisp, and awesome. The climax played out in a very great way, with the events playing out just a bit off from all hell breaking loose. ...

      The Tomorrow Knight vs Hush 0

      The final battle between on who's the real Batman, and who's the pretender. Pros: It's cool that Dick Grayson makes a comeback once again in this issue. Compared to how he was when he was younger besides the age factor, he's more mature and serious. He makes it clear that this is a onetime thing and doesn't want anything more to do with Bruce or the Bat Legacy afterward. But that also doesn't mean that Terry is going to let him hog all the fun along with Catwoman.The battle and the outcome is a ...
