    Batman: The Adventures Continue #3.8 is a flawless Batman story worthy of the highest praise! I mean, the main cover is a direct tribute/homage to the cover of volume 1 '1 of the original Batman Adventures comic from way back in 1992! What more could anyone ask for?!? I'll tell you what! A three issue arc to start the Adventures Continue and a three story arc to finish this wonderful run! Read Full Review

    This has been one of the best surprises out of DC in recent memory, spanning about three years and three seasons as it revived the old animated series with two of the top writers from it. Not only did it capture the perfect dynamic and all the fan-favorite heroes and villains, but it brought in several major players who either weren't used in the original series or didn't even exist when it debuted.

    Templeton delivers fantastic art that reminds me why I love this series and the animated one that it is based on. The look of the Talons is amazing and the action is visually thrilling throughout. Read Full Review

    The Comicbook Dispatch - batfan1992 Oct 4, 2023

    Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #8 presents an excellent finale to this series. It does seem to retcon the events of Ras Al Ghuls appearance in the Batman Beyond episode, Out of the Past though, but Dini and Burnett have said that they were approaching it from a perspective of if Batman Beyond hadnt happened. Still, continuity sticklers may be bothered by the potential inconsistencies and trying to figure out if this series is canon with the DC animated universe at large. Nevertheless, it is still faithful to Timm and Dinis original vision for Batman: The Animated series and BTAS fans will definitely enjoy this final issue. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Jackson Luken Oct 3, 2023

    While not all of the plot threads are fully realized, the story still feels satisfying as an ultimate finale. From Joker's wacky hijinks earlier in the season to Ra's' grandiose master plan here, there's enough of an exciting climax to make the ending feel worthwhile. With a smile and nod to camera, Batman and Robin's drive off into the sunset moonset lets you know that, yes, the adventures will always continue. Read Full Review

    IF this is how they conclude the batman adventures series, while bittersweet, this is something I can totally accept. It does bring in most of Batman's rouges gallery, large fights, good quips and a twist or two that you might or might not see coming.

    This read felt great. Still reminds me of the original shows. The spark is still there and as I said, this was a great end to the season, possible the entire series. I will always respect the Dini, Templeton Team (with Burnett often in there), as they brought so much of us our childhood batman. This series did an excellent job continuing that.

    I will conclude with how the book does: The adventure continues....

    This was a pretty fitting conclusion to this trilogy. It had an appropriate ending by just stating that the adventures continue even beyond this, proving the Batman so many of us grew up enjoying will always be there. And I wouldn't be the least bit surprised whether it shows in this continuity or not, if Ra's Al Ghul does eventually return.
    Hopefully the Animated Universe Batman will return again one day, because good comics are a rarity nowadays. But this was a very fitting finale for this series and apparently my collecting of new Batman comics. Because for now it looks like except the Facsimilie books I'm out on new Batman books for now.
    If you've missed any of the previous issues of these 3 seasons then I'd fully recommend th more
