Its awesome that they are bring Bruce back. But imo, its to soon, they could have given him like 3-5 years then, u know a good time length so it can be a bigger surprise with Bruce returning!
Batman
Character » Batman appears in 23535 issues.
Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
The Return Of Bruce Wayne Begins In April
I'm incredibly disappointed to find Grant Morrison on this again. Yes, I have learned to love the Batman and Robin title he's been working on but after Batman R.I.P, I've lost a lot of respect. I love the Batman books, they are by far my favorite titles from D.C, but I still believe Bruce Wayne deserves more time off. More time for us to miss him, more time for Dick and Tim to Grow on their own. I know Grant Morrison once said in an interview he hopes not to be remembered for killing the Batman but for something else he does with the character. Is this what he was talking about? The return? I also don't care for the whole Bruce Wayne v.s History concept. I know the D.C Universe can get all Topsy turvy sometimes but this is just lame. I thought we were following Tim in Red Robin because he was going to find and save Bruce. I was really looking forward to this, but what am I going to do? We can only hope Morrison gets it right this time, and by the way, EXPLAIN whats up with Bruce's corpse in the hands of Superman at the end of Final Crisis when he was clearly sent to either the beginning of time or some other universe. I have to say I do like some of Morrison's other work but, I really wish Geoff johns was on Batman's return.
" Grant Morrison said that Dick will remain Batman for at least another year but this still feels too soon to bring Bruce back. Also does he have to dress like a bat in every life, does he have a fetish or something? "
Does Bruce Wayne have bat fetish?
...
YES.
Anyhoo... yeah, too soon. Definitely needed some more time not knowing what will happen (if anything), and why not have them w/o Bruce for a while.
And how is he going to go through time? AND when is Bruce finally going to go completely insane?
And does anyone else kind of wish they'd kill Wolverine and leave him dead?
Well I expected this.First Cap comes back way before Bucky had become acquainted with the uniform and now here comes Bats when i'm liking Grayson in his costume.
Man this is gonna be the same kinda thing they did for Hal Jordan....I don't wanna go through another rebirth....
I suuuuuuuuuure dont like those costumes. Over the top. Bruce is more simple. He is complex.. but not gaudy.
This was so poorly handled from jump street. Bruce died, twice, and nobody could figure out what happened until much later. Then they spend half a year with battle for the cowl, and another half with Grayson getting comfortable with the cowl. Now, Bruce is coming back as a pirate, a cave man, and possibly a hippie. They did this character a great disservice, and they should either put Grant Morrison on a leash, or get him the hell away from Batman.
Too soon!! I'm enjoying Dick as Batman. Shake up is a good thing.
Having said that, if it brings the awful run of Detective to and end, as well as Gotham City Sirens and Streets of Gotham it ain't all bad. They are some of the worst books in history.
bruce: im back, dick
dick: [gasps] bruce, w-we thought you were dead
bruce: so did i but appearently darkseids omega beams sent me to be lost in time. but im here and ready to be the dark knight again
dick: [speechless] im batman now, your time is over old man
bruce: you forget who raised you after your family died. so dont tell me whats what around here little boy
they scuffle and bruce summons his might and beats dick to death
id buy this series even though im a marvel fan
"They "kill" Bruce Wayne just now come and say that "not kill" give the post to Nightwing who has not completed even one year as Batman and you'll have to return the hood to "Father Bruce" and not know if it will be back to Nightwing as it has a Kriptonian from New Krypton using this title and comes with the history of Batman in different periods of history as the line "Elseworlds" had not had a "Batman Cowboy" Lone Ranger style, a " Pirate Batman "The Wings of Leather a" Batman Samurai "(or" Jonin Ninja "I do not know ...), a" Batman Knight of Camelot, "a" Batman Indiana Jones and Batman Egyptian gods, astronauts "in" Batman Book of the Dead "and even a" Super-Batman "(that story of what would happen if the adoptive parents of earth Kal-El were Thomas and Martha Wayne instead of Jonathan and Martha Kent and he was set up in Gotham instead Smallville as Bruce Wayne instead of Clark Kent ...) and now want to make a history of Batman in different historical periods with different positions and contexts?? But "What context" that someone has not already tried?? "
unless things change, the current night wing is dying, so unless he changes in to a god like flame bird, he wont be around much longer. he'll be sent back to the phantom zone or captured by brainiac
I kind of hope that this is more along the lines of, 'So, what has Bruce been up to in Cave land?' Because, as much as I love Bruce (and I do!), I'm just not ready to see him back yet. I feel like Dick hasn't been given a chance to really handle any crisis and I've been mildly enjoying Damien in that 'I-love-to-hate-you' kind of way.
Seriously, we just got over Dick whining about costume changes and now we have a story! I for one, would like to see the direction he takes the Mantle... for a bit, at least.
And more importantly, I want Tim to find Bruce. The only reason Tim became Red Robin in the first place was to find Bruce and I'm not sure what place he'll have in the Bat-Fam once Bruce is back. I really don't want Tim to become another Nightwing.
Oh well. I guess we'll all just have to wait and see.
Love the cave man Batman but as for the pirate I only have one question.... Is that Davy Jones?!
Bruce Wayne, do you fear-gh Death?! :p
" unless things change, the current night wing is dying, so unless he changes in to a god like flame bird, he wont be around much longer. he'll be sent back to the phantom zone or captured by brainiac "ACTION COMICS #884 SPOILERS, REGARDING NIGHTWING OF NEW KRYPTON. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
(Sarcastic moment) WOW.,. That's just, great news. Batman coming back for more action, AWESOME. We knew he'd come back sooner than expected, didn't we? (Serious Moment)...and it's only been about a couple of month's since he was gone and now he's doing this time travel thing? C'mon, man.
They should've waited at least like a year or two for him to return some the fans would be longing and excited.for him. It sucks that there treating Dick more like a subsitute than the "New Batman". I don't think Dick is a good Batman since he's been messing up a bit lately, but I haven't had the time for him to grow on me. Gotta see if this is worth a read...
cant wait for this to come out. but i do really like dick grayson as batman. wonder if dick will get killed off?
good news! I CANT STAND DICK BEING BATMAN! i feel like i'm reading a nightwing comic because of the dialogue and the over all nature of dick grayson.
Yea,,,,,The GRANT's BATMAN -specially "Black Glove"- Rocked!
I'll be right their for this One. Anything that Can get the B-Flagship
back on its Feet,,,,,-since/After #687 it's been Terrible
"bruce: im back, dick dick: [gasps] bruce, w-we thought you were dead bruce: so did i but appearently darkseids omega beams sent me to be lost in time. but im here and ready to be the dark knight again dick: [speechless] im batman now, your time is over old man bruce: you forget who raised you after your family died. so dont tell me whats what around here little boy they scuffle and bruce summons his might and beats dick to death"
Yup. For me, you can't have Batman without BRUCE. I never was happy with Dick playing house...
it's great Bruce Wayne is coming back
I am not saying do not dick grayson is bad, but u known , like him as batman and Damian Wayne robin is great in all its glory
Bruce started it all from the began
"I think if Bruce does come back to Gotham he wont take the cowl back from Dick, it doesn't matter who wears the symbol its what the symbol means that matters, "
yea but i could see Dick giving it bakc to him willingly and even if Dick didnt give it up immediately Tim would come back and tell him to give it up and thik that Dick is being selfish.
I cant remember, someone please help me. What did Bruce tell Dick, Tim, and Jason about if he disapears or dies or whatever?
"hold up, if batman is going through all these different time periods does that mean he is going to kill? "
he might have to to survive. which i think would be cool if he returns with that mentality. Must kill the villains for the human race and heroes to survive.
I just read an article asking the questions below to some of the head guys at IGN.com Im not gonna post the article, i want to know what everyone else thinks.
