Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #4 pits a weakened Terry against the Sword of Gotham to reveal that not all is as it seems. The art is excellent, and the story is furthered through the action. Still, when the Sword of Gotham's true identity is revealed, the creators seem to suggest that this arc draws heavily from another, better property. In isolation, this is a solid issue, but the future direction of this story is now cast in doubt. Read Full Review
The antagonist has been unpacked a little more, and it's putting the squeeze on Batman. With Bruce gone, he may yet believe what it hast to say about Batman being no longer needed or welcome in Neo Gotham. In any case,Batman Beyond: Neo Yearhas brought action and drama to a title that ought to find more attention. Read Full Review

This was a great issue and opens up a new Batman story a low-tech Batman operating in a high-tech world. Read Full Review
This is a well done fight issue that's tense and exciting. It's fun to read a story where it feels like the hero is constantly has their back up against the wall and can barely keep going. The attempt to tie that fight to something deeper is commendable. However, that connection is often tenuous and doesn't always work the way the story wants it to when you step back and think about it. Read Full Review
Action, detective work and great finale. I love it!
Art is good, but this issue is basically just long fight scene and a long monologue. 8/10 is probably generous.
This series is fun and a good read with some awesome art.
If you liked Batman beyond. But this book, it's that simple.
Is it perfect? No but it's a great read and it of fun, and knows what it's trying to do. And that's more then I can say about a lot of books on the market today.
It gets a 7.5 and not a 8, because I like Batman 125 just a little bit more, so I could t give them the same mark.
