Neo-Gotham and its Sword have made their opening assault on Batman Beyond. With limited resources and no Bruce Wayne to come to his aid, Terry McGinnis will need to find more allies. But...all he finds is a brand-new triumvirate of villains collectively known as Gestalt. It's three brains against one, with Batman Beyond looking worse for wear than he ever has. Will he make it to the end of Neo-Year?
Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #2continues to put Terry McGinnis through his paces as the creative team strips him of his resources and pits him against new foes. It's clear Terry is rethinking his entire approach to becoming Batman, but what kind of Batman he will be when the series ends is unclear. Hopefully, this is only the beginning of a new era for Batman Beyond. Read Full Review

It does feel like the book is still heating up, but what it lacks in character work it makes up for in breakneck action and top-tier visuals. Read Full Review
Batman Beyond Neo Year #2 gives us rich visuals and masterfully designed new antagonists in a narrative about our capable hero learning to work under new and unfamiliar ways of being. It also continues to give readers a dynamic look at the Batman of the Future. Read Full Review
Honestly, this is probably the most interesting way DC has used the Batman Beyond franchise in quite some time. Read Full Review
Bits and Pieces Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #2 is a serviceable entry in the series with a story that forces Terry to fulfill his mission against Gotham's AI with decreasing resources at his disposal. That said, the components of the story are present with nary an emotional beat to be found, and it's increasingly difficult to care about what's happening. Read Full Review
Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #2 struggles due to not giving enough focus to any of the ideas that it puts forth. Either a high concept science fiction story about an antagonist with a shared consciousness, or a gritty detective story of Terry working in the shadows while the city itself is out to get him could have been really interesting. However, since neither of those premises are given enough space to fully develop, what's left is a story that feels inconsequential. Read Full Review
Now that's more like it.
I don't know man...the art is great, but I'm just not jiving with this story the way I want to be. I really do want to like this, but I'm just having a hard time with it. Maybe it's because this is my first Batman Beyond comic, but I feel like that shouldn't matter. Hopefully it starts to become a little more coherent soon.
a decent issue. not bad, but not memorable either.
Not as good as issue one. I thought the issue was too wordy.
