Old May 16th, 2010, 04:07 PM        The Return of Bruce Wayne
If you remember Gaiman's issues, some hints along the way and the recent cave digging by Dick it's been leading up to the return of Wayne.

Issue #1 came out last Wed and I just read it. It was very cryptic (Morrison) but it's more acceptable since it's basically Batman's state of mind through "time". Issue #1 was caveman Wayne. The suit he comes up with in the caveman era is actually kind of cool... The art is well done and the issue read fairly well. The ending teases issue #2 and the next time era.

With Batman & Robin 12 giving us the return of the other most iconic Batman character, it should be a fun couple of months. I thought Quitely was going to return for that but I guess plans have changed.

I'm curious as to how they are going to handle the return of Bruce. Will it be similar to Steve Roger's new role or will he actually take up the mantle again?... maybe multiple Batmans at once? We can all tell that Damian doesn't necessarily like being Robin... drama...

Yeah, I read it too.

Around the end of Final Crisis, I was living with a really fat, obsessive comic book fan. The guy was the living incarnation of the comic book guy from the simpsons, and that's not hyperbole. I told him that it was Batman in that cave at the end and that they wouldn't wait too long before bringing him back--that the omega beams just sent Batman back through time. Well, he was convinced that I was wrong, and I remember even making a bet. I'd call him on it, but I really don't ever want to talk to him again.

Anyway, the issue itself wasn't bad. I liked Batman's costume. I thought it was a bit "meh", but I'm hoping it'll build steam as it goes.

I stopped reading about Steve Rogers after Captain America Reborn. What's he been up to lately?

He's now Head of Security.

Yeah with the Batman thing it wasn't necessarily a matter of the time he was in but the state of mind he's in. Each issue is going to be a different time and he will most likely uncover more of himself along the way.

I think this style of story arc is the kind Morrison is better at.

I kind of want him to take up the mantle again eventually but I also don't really mind how Grayson is handling the role.

Am I right to assume that they are attempting to copy "Planet Hulk" with the return of batman stuff? Because a recent issue I saw looked very similar to some recent Hulk storylines.

Hostility!

but seriously,

I saw the cover of a new batman comic and he was in a Savage land-esq batman costume in a full out brawl with aliens or something. He was shirtless and had a makeshift mask and cape.

I'm assuming that he's still in the other dimension / world so it kind of reminded me of Planet hulk. Jeez....the internet is serious business.

Of course, complaining about your lot on here will only get you mocked more.

But please, keep doing what you think passes for replies, it makes you a great dummy target for us to practice our B and C game on (because nobody here would waste their A game on your half-assed routine)

No need to read the comics--just watch this DVD to get an animated version of the return of Bruce Wayne: http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Hulk-Tw.../dp/B002WNUVK2

I don't even like Grant Morrison's Batman, but this looked so damn cool, I had to pick it up.

The 2nd issue wasn't quite as good.

They do the death and return thing a lot in comics... Comics also likes digging into the whole quantum mechanics stuff and multiverse ideas.

Sam just likes to bitch about Bruce Wayne's return because he is confused by all of Batman's storylines/villains/characters and doesn't follow Batman comics these days.

It's ok Sam. It's ok. We still have 8 Deadpool series going on now, am I right?!? Oh my beloved Deadpool.. What a whore you've become.. He's set for Marv vs Cap 3 too, ya know?

Was there EVER any doubt he would come back? Or Superman? Or Captain America?

Hell, they brought BUCKY back from the dead!

Absolutely pointless killing someone in a comic .

The main thing that I'm looking forward to the revealing of is what Wayne's role will be once he fully returns. Really, that's the key with these "returns". They allow focus off the main character, let some of the lesser characters get bigger playtime and give them a chance to alter the roles of each of the main characters.

For whoever has been following the main Batman series that are going on right now you'll know that the Grayson as Batman thing isn't actually all that bad. So I'm curious as to what they will end up doing in the end.
