    Return Of Bruce Wayne #3: The High Seas

    The Bones Of Bristol Bay. Return Of Bruce Wayne #3 is now, Bruce takes to the high seas in this issue. Bruce has just witnessed the evil of witches and monsters, now he will have to battle pirates and Blackbeard himself to continue through time. Grant Morrison and Frazer Irving teamed up to do issue 2, now Yanick Paquette (Seven Soldiers: Bulliteer) takes off where Frazer Irving left off. Prepare for an ultimate adventure of pirating, Bat-people, and heroes. Issue 3 is 40 pages. 
     

    The Good

    No Caption Provided
    From the first two issues there was action and adventure. The story of issue 3, fills in more gaps from the questions asked in the previous issue. Seeing so many heroes looking for one legend is really cool, now that Tim Drake is no longer the only one who believes that Bruce is alive, the Justice League are scrambling together to find him. Grant has done a terrific job connecting the pieces, like with the Red Robin story line. He has truly brought Batman to new heights, making stories that no one will forget. Andy Kubert's cover art for the first three issues have been great. It is good to see that only one artist is doing the main covers for the series, instead of multiple people working on one piece of art. While questions are answered, more are revealed as Bruce Wayne leaves the days of a pirate behind, and becomes a Cowboy or should he be called a Batboy. Yanick's art for this issue has been really great, the colors really mesh together with Grant's story.  
     

    The Bad

    Blackbeard was a boring enemy in this issue. He kept bragging about himself and using his men to fight his battles. Some scenes Bruce looked a little like Tim Drake.  
     

    The Verdict

    Fights and a story. Grant Morrison is doing a great job telling the story of Bruce Wayne's epic return. Things will heat up in issue 4, as Bruce Wayne will have to fight the most famous cowboy bounty hunter in the west. Jonah Hex. Who will win the Dark Knight or the infamous/famous Bounty Hunter. Yanick leaves his artwork task for Cameron Stewart (Batman And Robin). Overall this is a 5 out of 5.

      Grant Morrison is acclaimed because he is one of the few writers who really push the medium to its potential. Part of the reason he can do this is because of his knowledge in the Occult.   There will always be three types of readers that walk away from a Grant Morrison story: (1) Those that had no idea what happened and did not like it, (2) Those that had no idea or little idea what really happened but enjoyed the story and (3) those who understand the messages between the lines.   With Gr...

      "Bat-People, eh?" 0

      The Return of Bruce Wayne checks into the pirate era, as Bruce Wayne continues his dangerous adventures throughout the time line.    What You Need To Know. Batman was sent on an adventure through time by Darkseid's Omega Sanction, hoping that Batman would do what he always does, survive.  In doing so he may have set off a chain reaction that could destroy time as the DCU knows it.  Batman is apparently aware that is what's going on, and against seemingly all the heroes notions, he intends to fix...
