Dan Jurgens is the writer on the comic, and he's able to imagine things far beyond what we have read in the past. Give him a villain called False Face and, well, you just can't be sure of anything happening! Read Full Review

And now False Face has taken on a new form. I wonder if the effects of his powers will wear off of the real Bruce now that he's not the one being impersonated anymore. Seems like the only way for Melanie and Matt can get out of this mess unscathed " though the former has done a good job taking charge throughout this mess. Read Full Review

Jurgens and Leonardi work super well together. That's the best part of this. They know the character well and it all makes for another nice issue. Since Rebirth started this has been one of the most consistent of all of the books. I'm loving it. Read Full Review

Batman Beyond may be set in the future, but Jurgens keeps it connected to Batman's rich history. Not only does he keep it connected to the wider DC comics universe, but also manages to make it a true continuation of the cartoon. Read Full Review

A story of mystery and suspense pulls Batman Beyond into the very entertaining territory. Its nothing new to anyone who might have read Batman over the decades, but Jurgens and Leonardi navigate McGinnis and his colleagues through a really entertaining story with tension that holds together throughout the issue. With questions of identity, memory, and motivation sliding in around the edges of the story, Juergens could potentially lead this series in a captivating new direction that could possibly influence the story into some very fresh territory if everything lines up in the right way. Even if this new direction doesnt live up to its potential, the series continues to be fun thanks to the efforts of a couple of very experienced storytellers. Read Full Review

It's a weird thing to say that Batman is the worst part of this book, but he really isn't bringing anything to this issue besides for the constant reminder that he keeps getting his ass kicked every issue.  Besides that though, this was one of the best issues of Batman Beyond that I've read in a long time.  I loved the pacing, art and the reveals here and can't wait to see how False Face will continue to plague the Batman Beyond Family.   Read Full Review

Overall, Batman Beyond #33 has effectively pulled me back into this arc. Splitt remains an intriguing villain, not-Bruce is finally found out, and by giving the McGinnis boys a reveal, they establish some rules to False Face's powers that open the door for more intriguing doppelgnging. With the ending of this issue moving the narrative in a new direction, the excitement for what comes next will keep me reading issues. Read Full Review

There's a lot of intrigue in the parallels of both the Splitt and Falseface storylines, so it'll be interesting to see where the series goes with it, and how heavily it'll lean into those obvious connections. Read Full Review

Even though we could all see the major twist in this issue coming, it was still interesting. Though anything involving Arkham tends to be interesting, so that might not be saying much. I'm hoping we'll see something bigger happen because of this one. Read Full Review

This arc of Batman Beyond has been dominated by two storylines, one much more interesting than the other " and, in Batman Beyond #33, it becomes very clear which is taking over the book. Read Full Review

Although some foreshadowing may have ruined one of the issue's reveals, Batman Beyond #33 does a good job propelling the mystery forward by providing a new twist that will take the title in an interesting direction. Read Full Review

The artwork is great. I'm accustomed to seeing inker Ande Parks teamed with Phil Hester, but his work over Ric Leonardi's pencils seems to be blending well, as they become more of a team. Read Full Review

Three issues into the new "Divide, Conquer and Kill" arc, and Batman Beyond #33 pretty much solidifies my fear that for all of Splitt's gimmicks, he (or rather they) isn't all that interesting. Read Full Review

While the Splitt story goes almost nowhere, we do get some advancement on the Bruce/switched identity story. Read Full Review

Unlike many, Jurgens knows how to write a story. Builds up properly, lays the trap for the next issue and reinforces it with the fact that Terry is lost in The Bottoms. False Face is a fun baddie to mess around with.

Art-wise, the stylized "shiny" coloring job on the characters in spandex looks really nice.
The faux Frank Miller work on old Bruce Wayne is a bit unsettling. I'm half waiting for him to get ambushed by a gang of thugs with Cyclops visors and chisel-sharpened teeth. (That's a joke)

Good stuff, solid book.

This is a very boring story.

Boooooored.
