Terry finds himself up against a unique villain in Splitt. He's actually two people in one. When morphed together, Splitt's helmet looks just like Deathstroke. (I thought it was Slade Wilson or something like a "Deathstroke Beyond.") But these two are definitely not Deathstroke, but still dangerous. Their weakness seems tough to exploit, though doable based on their difference in personality. But Terry has one other major issue to deal with before figuring out how to stop this twosome.

The story is fun although it did move a little too quickly for me. The art however is awesome. If you put Rick Leonardi on a book as the artist, I'm in no matter what. He's quite excellent. The book is drawn amazingly and I'm happy he's on this comic. A fun book indeed. Read Full Review

While the writing comes off as unusually clunky at times, the twist at the end will leave you smacking your head wondering how you missed it the first time around. Read Full Review

Dan Jurgens has a good feel for the Batman Beyond mythos and has consistently delivered a title that feels like a true continuation of the cartoon. Very often such books don't feel like they are canon stories (and often aren't), but this iteration of the title feels like a true successor to the cartoon. Read Full Review

Two tense storylines meet up in a great climactic moment in the final pages which reach out and shake a reader. We feel our emotions pulled in two different ways. We want Batman to succeed in these unlikely odds; we want to find out what's gone wrong. Since we don't get either, two burning issues frustrate us as we close the issue eager for more. All this two talk may make me think another shade of Bat's past may be on the rise, but that's not likely. What we know for sure is that the strength of the stories and leaving them this tinglingly unresolved was a master stroke of comicbook storytelling that would draw many readers back for more.

The issue is tense and feels like a step forward as the title uses more elements of the classic cartoon to build its next arc. Read Full Review

I am usually a big fan of Dan Jurgens work, but inthis instance, there seems to be a great deal of exposition. All we need isyour fingerprint, Mr. Wayne. We brought up the Powers files but cant getpast the firewall without you. Scanners ready, Mr. Wayne. We get it, BruceWaynes fingerprint scan. But in fairness, all the preceding dialogue comesfrom Matt McGinnis, the former Robin Beyond. I wasnt wrong when I called himannoying, was I? Read Full Review

Batman Beyond #31 is a fine transitional issue for those already invested in the series but doesn't do a lot to grab new readers. Read Full Review

Overall, I am intrigued by the storyline and mystery behind it. The artwork did not jump out to me as a standout but the story and dialogue balanced the issue out. It is a solid starting point without relying too heavily on the ending of the Joker/Harley cliffhanger from the previous arc. Read Full Review

This is an odd issue that felt like it kept wanting to get started or that it wanted to do something exciting, but it wasn't until halfway through when the story became about something else where I started having a little fun.  There's something going on in this story, it just sadly doesn't do much this issue..... but hey, we had some awesome art so that's something.

Batman Beyond has great potential to go beyond the traditional concepts of a Batman story. Jurgens seems to be heading off in a direction that mixes the shadowy crimefighting with a technologically advanced future, but the title is still largely lost in the standard Bat-Formula action story.

Well the art really needs to step up their game! Was awful! Thought the dialogue was off on Bruce and thankfully we know the reason why! It was the last page that saved it for me for liking this issue!

“The best thing about these nefarious elements who wanted to do crimes against Bruce Wayne’s wishes is that they let him have full access to their secret sites even after he parted ways with their company! So sneaky.”

This issue felt so long, but also so damn short. I don't find Spiltt interesting and the ending just makes me wish they focused on that. Plus, Bruce Wayne is acting strange and I don't like how slow that development moves. This issue just feels incomplete.
