What does it really mean for Batman?
"It is an examination of the superhuman. Because Batman is superhuman and it's about all the different facets of that; all the different parts of him that come together to make up this amazing character...We use these various time periods to sort of personify the different parts of what he does. We watch him learn how to be a detective again, how to be a savage fighter again, and how he learns to be a dark figure of vengeance that preys on criminals."
With The Return of Bruce Wayne is also a rare opportunity for Morrison to essentially re-write the character. What will Bruce be like? How different will he be? How much will he remember? More importantly, are we even dealing with the same character? What Morrison stated in the interview leads me to think Bruce may not remember all of his former past. Would this Return of Bruce Wayne really be the return of Bruce Wayne, or is this an opportunity for Morrison to rewrite the character? Will all of the events that haunted him in his former life, like say, the death of his parents, still shape his ideology?
Let us not forget Dick Grayson, the current Batman. What will happen to Dick and the new Batman and Robin? Will he continue to
Also, is anyone else noticing the growing tension between Dick and Damian? The Batman and Robin cover image posted earlier over at The Source speaks volumes, and Damian does not look happy. Oh, and remember when DC's editor Dan Didio wanted to kill off Dick Grayson? What if the death of Bruce was a set up to do just that? Something to think about."Now Season one is 16 issues, and then there's Season two," he explained. "It changes again obviously once
Bruce comes back, and we start with a different sort of dynamic...I was going to leave after issue #13, then I came up with an idea which seemed fun to do. So the Batman universe status quo changes again dramatically after #16, but I don't want to say any more than that. Anything else I say will reveal too much about where we're going."
