    Superman/Batman Annual: Terry's Return.

    Seldom do I ever have a chance to spend money on comics, and with my best friend being a huge Super family fan, i really don't get a chance to read Batman.  I did manage to stop past the comic store and pick up and issue of Superman/Batman Annual #4. 
     
    I was surprised to see Terry on the cover, which made me pick it up. The store starts pretty much like any Batman story, with the Dark Knight, atop one of Gotham's skyscraper, patrolling his city, when he notices a mugging going on below him. After thwarting the plans of  the criminals, he finds that they are from Metropolis and apparently there were more people running in from across the bay.
     
    After some interrogation, he finds out a "Ghost" has been absorbing the criminals up, He then has a short bout with Metello who is carrying Kryptonite within drugs. Terry heads to Metropolis to get to the bottom of this, he eventually learns that this Kryptonite scheme goes all the way to Luthor.
     
    I won't spoil it for you, but it's a must to have! Seeing Terry work with the legendary Superman was great. It was like he was working with his idol; and even though he played a huge part of the comic, he seemed to be the "Sidekick" of the endeavor.

I won't take the time to explain the setting, if you've seen Batman Beyond then an explanation would be redundant, unless you haven't but lets pretend you did. Paul Levitz does an excellent job of taking up from the original series, referencing the starro episode, and even takes time to explain what happened in a brief summary. This issue actually de...

      Superman/Batman Annual #4 Review (Back to Greatness) 0

      The announcement of Dan DiDio bringing back Terry McGinnis, the brainchild of Paul Dini and Bruce Timm into the spotlight after years of fans clamoring for his return since 52 was met with open arms by many who grew up watching Batman Beyond. From being featured in this annual issue to having a mini-series, it seems like the Batman of the Future may have a home in the DCU. And after reading this issue, not only he has a home, he's set to be a long-time resident. Terry McGinnis, welcome home. And...
