DC Comics, November 1999
Modern Age · Superhero · 32 pages · $1.99 cover price
Batman Beyond #1 marks the debut issue of the second series based on the hit Kids’ WB animated show, bringing the futuristic Dark Knight into an ongoing comic format. This premiere issue delivers the showdown fans wanted, pitting Bruce Wayne against Terry McGinnis as something goes dangerously wrong with Gotham’s new Batman.
Written by Hilary J. Bader with art by Craig Rousseau and Rob Leigh, the story blends classic Batman themes with a sleek, late-’90s sci-fi edge. As Terry spirals out of control and terrorizes Gotham, Bruce is forced to suit up once more, leading to a confrontation that challenges the legacy of the cowl and the identity of the man behind it. The issue sets the tone for the series while expanding the animated universe into comic form.
A strong entry point for Batman Beyond fans, DC animation collectors, and late-1990s Batman completists.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes:
VF- (7.5). A clean, well-presented copy with light handling and minor wear consistent with the grade. Strong overall eye appeal for a late-1990s DC comic.
