Batman Beyond: Hush Beyond by Adam Beechen
3.0
This wasn't my favorite Batman Beyond storyline. Bruce's character seems to be taken to extremes as a means to push the plot forward instead of for any real character development. His "development" at the end feels forced and emotionless. Terry, too, felt a little flat--no more than a tired teenager trying to prove himself to the old man. But there was no sense of the REASON he was working so hard. No sense of the troubled youth with a sense of justice that made the tv show so compelling.
The art, too, wasn't to my taste. I'm not saying it was "bad," I just felt it didn't fit my image of what Batman Beyond looks like. And, it's really weird seeing Terry Batman drawn as a hulking muscle hero.
The storyline, though driven by flat characters, was pretty solid. A villain calling himself "Hush" comes back and starts murdering old Batman villains. They did a good job connecting this story to the original Hush storyline, even though THAT Batman continuity and the Beyond continuity don't really like up (they changed a few details, but it still worked).
This is still worth picking up and reading, even though it's not 100% amazing.
