Product Description:

Rated by buyers -
"Batman Beyond: No Place Like Home" is written by Sholly Fisch (based on a story by Hillary J. Bader) and features illustrations by John Delaney and Dave Cooper. The story is set in the world of the "Batman Beyond" TV series, in which an elderly Bruce Wayne has passed the duties of Batman on to young Terry McGinnis. In this adventure, told in comic-book format, Batman battles the villain Blight and encounters a group of orphans living in tunnels under the city.
The story is effectively told and contains some solid action scenes. The characters are well drawn, particularly the creepy Blight. However, the book's weak aspect is its handling of the very serious themes of homelessness and orphanhood. This problematic aspect of the book ultimately leads to a too easy, distastefully saccharine resolution.
