Batman Beyond Universe #5

The sleek red-and-black Batman Beyond suit dominates this February 2014 cover by Rafael Albuquerque, the armored figure looming forward against a pulsing purple backdrop of concentric waves while jagged, shadowy shapes loom at the edges — a striking visual tension between the future Dark Knight and whatever haunts the periphery. The story arc subtitle "Echoes from the Past" suggests the futuristic Batman's world is about to collide with something older and harder to shake. With writing by Kyle Higgins and art by Thony Silas, this chapter of Batman Beyond Universe delivers that signature blend of tomorrow's Gotham and the weight of the legacy behind it.
