Batman Beyond Special Origin Issue

In 1999, DC Comics released this single-issue special from writer Hilary J. Bader and artist Rick Burchett, bridging the gap between the animated Batman Beyond series and its comic-book counterpart. It delivers a streamlined retelling of how an aging Bruce Wayne and a rebellious teen named Terry McGinnis first crossed paths, leading to the legacy of a new Batman in a futuristic Gotham City. While brief, the issue stands as a key origin point for fans of the animated universe, offering a concise, visually sharp introduction to the high-tech Dark Knight.
