Pirate-Batman : arrrg-matey!!

I wasn't really impressed with this one. It was too much a typical pirate story and not enough Bats story.

I really wish the pirate batman on the cover was in the book.

I'm enjoying this series, I'm glad to see Bruce back (well, ya know what I mean) and seeing the JLA and Dick and Damian in the present trying to figure out what to do. I will be honest, I haven't been really getting into these past three issues as much as I want to, but the end of the issue and how it leads into the next really has me excited! :D

This was awesome!!! 5/5!

Just read this and have to agree it's best one so far, finally feels like it starting to move.

I'm actually related to Edward Thacth the real Black Beard (who Batman is a displaying).

Wow, Babs loved a comic with Bruce Wayne in it. Just let me pick my jaw up off the floor over that shocker. ;)
 
I noticed when I first started this video that it was about 5 minutes long. I thought that was kind of odd. This is a return of Bruce comic and so little was said. It's funny how that's even referenced in the video.
 
Finally, Batrman is being written as a detective. This looks pretty cool, but I'll wait for a trade version of these books together.

just wondering if when Bruce does return his actions in the past will have affected the present he returns to? if that makes sense

I thought I would not be interested in this one but it was the best issue so far we saw Bruce in some cool Batman-esque action while it's apparent his return is a big deal to the DC Universe and some bits of Final Crisis were touched on.

It is pretty much true that I can't say much about something I like but can say a lot about something I don't like, not all the time though.

This story concept is super lame.  
Lets throw Batman through all of these stereotypical character types. 
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEE 
Oh and Babs loves it... SUPER SHOCKER. 
lamers 
lamelamelamelamelamelame

Wait...in RoBW #2, Superman jumps to the conclusion, for no discernible reason, that Darkseid boobytrapped Batman to somehow destroy the universe, and now Wonder Woman comes to the same exact conclusion whilst operating on even LESS information than Superman?  

Im not gunna lie. I fell asleep twice reading this issue.
I reread it the next day. 
But for some reason im SO confused. Maybe im not thinking too hard about the past?
Im really not thinking about the connections. Perhaps i need to reread.

I'm liking how the pace of the story is picking up and hope it continues.  Second half of the issue was the best part of the series so far and I am looking forward to the next one.

LOL "try to watch out."

I should pick this up! I haven't so shame on me!

" just wondering if when Bruce does return his actions in the past will have affected the present he returns to? if that makes sense "

Apparently, he's going to be a cowboy next.

I totally agree with G-Man 4/5.

" I wish dick and damian would stay batman and robin. that will not happen after bruce comes back..*sighs* "

@_@ Wish I could read these...

this would be a better review if g-man ever finished a sentence. or had more to say than "i don't know." babs i like, but nothing should get a 5/5 unless it was actually perfect, which never happens. 

" Although I haven't been crazy about this mini-series, I do like that Bruce is starting to come to terms with who he is while rediscovering his identity. My main problem with this series, which I know that Tony and Babs have discussed, is that Morrison doesn't place Bruce in each period for longer stretches of time. It would be great to see Batman live out more of these periods. I think that Morrison is trying to keep Batman relatively ageless compared to when he left. If Bruce spent at least 6 months of his life in each period, and there were 5 periods, he would have aged by at least 15 years! He'd be pushing 50 by the time he came back to the present!    This issue was o.k. I'm not exactly sure which ideas are being tied up here. Morrison continues to open up more loose ends than tie them up. The moments at the end of the book with Jack Valor and his visit to Gotham, what was that about? Also, Damian and Dick visiting the scene of Batman's captivity under Darkseid left me more confused than informed about the situation. The more interesting part of this whole saga will be when Bruce is back and everyone has to deal with his return. Unless, of course, Bruce returns just when he leaves in the present, like Marty McFly did in "Back to the Future," and all is well again, and Dick never became Batman, and Damian never Robin, and lame! "

I loved this book. I wasn't very impressed with the first book of the series, but after reading issue 2 and now 3, I can totally see where Morrison is going with this.
 
Return of Bruce Wayne is looking more like a huge piece of art that you need to get all the pieces for before you see it for what it really is, and that's what kind of dis-jointing about it. When Issue 6 finally comes out, and you read the series as a whole, it will make a lot more sense I think.
 
But it's cool watching Bruce carve a sort of 'Bat legacy' through time. That's where the bat people come in, because of what happened with Bruce in the "Cave-Batman" era.

I think I need to read this again because I didn't quite figure out what was happening at the end.

ummm...  Did we just get a review where Babs gave a comic a PERFECT score & had no particular reasons as to why?  & did G-man give it a 3.5 with nothing more than inconclusive ramblings to support it?   think we need to spice up these Reviews people!
 
I TOTALLY think Bruce will allow Dick to be Batman for a while upon his return...  DC & MARVEL always mirror each other... 

So if I want answers to stuff from Batman & Robin, I have to be reading these also? 
 
Grreeeeeeeat.  I haven't been interested in this series at all, but that could also be because I don't want Bruce to come back and take over as Batman. 
 
I think I'll go ahead and dump the dough for these three issues, solely because I'm running out of stuff to read.  I'm actually kind of catching up to the present in comics!  lol

Right on Babs! This is issue is definitely a 5 out of 5. I was entertained all the way through. Grant Morrison really lit a fire under this issue, wonderful story-telling and art to match.
