Last week marked the third issue of the DC You's first week of titles, including Batman Beyond.

In the issue, Tim and his allies are at the mercy of Brother Eye, taken prisoner and trying to fight their way out...well, mostly. Some of them are in the thrall of Brother Eye and need more of a rescue.

Writer Dan Jurgens joined ComicBook.com to talk about Batman Beyond #3 and what's next for the title.

Warning: This is a spoiler-heavy interview. If you haven't read Batman Beyond #3 yet, go buy a copy and read along with us. You can read our commentary track for the first issue, and a free, 8-page preview story published during Convergence in May, here. We talked about #2 here.

The relationship between Tim and Terry's brother Matt evolves in a really interesting way this issue. Will we see it continue on that trajectory, or given the revelations of the first couple of pages will we see it kind of reconsidered again?

We introduced Matt in the very first 8 page story because we have always seen him as an important part of the series.

That will grow and develop over the next story or two, as will his relationship with Tim.

I’ve always explained it this way: From Matt's point of view, Tim is the unknown guy who somehow inherited his brother’s really awesome car.

We do get a definitive image that shows Tim as Robin here. That's a question that feels like it's been kind of up in the air, exactly how all that went down, since Flashpoint. Will his pre-Futures End and/or pre-Red Robin past be explored at some point?

Yeah, it will. Tim will refer to more of his past as Red Robin, especially since he kind of fit into that awkward middle slot between Dick Grayson, who set the mold, and Bruce’s son. It had to be an uncomfortable position for him and is part of what made him very much what he is today.

As an aside, do you think the whole idea of a kid figuring out Batman's identity works better/is more believable in a post-Internet world? We see Tim at a computer instead of watching the news footage on TV here, which I always remember thinking was odd. Batman being on TV.

I think it could have been something more dramatic than figuring it out on a computer, but I’m really referring to what we saw in Secret Origins. We’re really on the mark with what was established.

But it does reinforce the fact that Tim is really smart and tech oriented. That’s all also come into play down the road.

Have you accepted the fact that there's a small chance you could go to hell for "eyeronic?”

Probably more than a small chance. But eye simply could not resist.
