scans_dailyThe Batman Beyond story in that anthology issue'd set up the premise: " Gotham's systems develop a singular sentience that decides to excise Batman. Bruce Wayne is consequently killed - Terry McGinnis goes forth alone, against the Living Gotham. "
Neo-Year #1 reiterated that in its first couple pages, efficiently getting readers who hadn't read that previous story up to speed. It then just as efficiently went through the first sixty days of Terry vs. Gotham.
The fight was one hero versus a criminal landscape, the latter's dynamics now more directed than emergent.
On day sixty, Terry thought about the new CEO of Wayne-Powers:
(Storytelling in comics can also be visual.)
" .. to a future made of purest light! "
Listening to Donovan Lumos' slick and shiny spiel, Terry thought ' I don't hate a lot of people, Bruce.

Terry hit the docks, taking the men and cargo of a ship that was very obviously part of Lumos' drug smuggling.
Then someone else made the scene - a swordsman declaiming on equivalence and balance.
Terry had an appropriate tool in his box - aerial maneuvers that sent the pursuing swordsman downwards.
The Sword unleashed his power, causing an explosion that sent Terry downwards to make 3,449 + 1.
' I swear it, Bruce.
(Pagecount's just under 7 of 21 from Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #1 back in April 2022.
Writing's Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, whom you might also currently be seeing on that " remember Planetary? " Outsiders maxiseries - and, at that other Marvelous company, a Thunderbolts run following from their " Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty ".
