It's both surprising and unsurprising to know that Dan Jurgens' Batman Beyond series is still going strong, thanks to some strong writing. Many of us thought that the title wouldn't do too well since previous Batman Beyond comics were only mildly successful but it's already reached 30-plus issues. This means all of those "it'll only last for two years" jokes are officially more dead than MCU Tony Stark (rest in peace).
So, how does one gain more interest for a Batman Beyond comic so that it can appeal to current fans and new ones who might consider picking it up? Batwoman Beyond of course.
Okay, the character isn't actually called that. In fact, the character isn't even called Batwoman yet. This October, in Batman Beyond #37, Terry McGinnis goes missing and an aged Bruce Wayne has to go through his list of contacts to see who can keep Neo-Gotham safe. Enter a mysterious female vigilante wearing gear that looks eerily similar to Batwoman.
Here's the synopsis of the issue (Newsarama):
