@nickxh: If that's the case he will most definitely need that mech suit since he doesn't remember how to fight

I'm curious to see how Bruce is gonna relearn being Batman.
They stated his memory/skills are wiped and he is what 30-ish in this run so he'd have to relearn at least 15 years of skills.

@jaken7: I didn't mean this issue. Probably sometime in future issues and if that's the case issue 52 and beyond then maybe

The two stories take place at different times. Justice League War takes place either right before or right after the current arcs of the Big 3's Solo books.

Considering that Floronic Man has already appeared in Swamp Thing this has to be a new character. Speaking of Swamp Thing though, I'm curious if this story will connect to The Green in some way.

This cover looks amazing! Greg Capullo is a master at his work! I don't think Mr. Bloom is connected to actual plants in anyway. I think his body may act like a plant, as in he is able to grow his flesh, bone and blood into certain structures to create blood thorns, vines, etc... either way this villain is creepy as f****!!! I just realized he might be the Meek from issue #34.

@golden_cod: I hope it does. I love Swamp Thing, Poison Ivy, Animal Man, Aquaman, Vixen etc. because they are connected to the Red/Green mythology. Great stuff and some awesome powers.

I'm really excited for this book. JimBats has been really fun. In terms of how Bruce will get his skills back though, I'm sure they're going to find a way to use the machine Bruce invented in #43 to remap his brain.

I think it's before Darksied war. That way he still didn't know who The Joker was before their "final" showdown. I felt like the final one to me.

@batman3000: @pelykan:

It was revealed previously that Batman secretly built a machine that clones him, complete with his memories and skills. Snyder will probably use that.

I picked up #41 and wasn't too keen on it. But now I may have to pick up the other issues and follow this. I don't care for Jim as Batman, but with Bruce still involved, it might be enough to keep reading.

I just want to see how Bruce gets the cowl back.

Wonder Woman training Batman would be so epic! That is a great idea.

@koays: I think its right before, since I saw some pics of future issues of justice league, and they had Jim as Batman on the cover.

I hope this cover is a hint or forshadowing of Bruce reclaiming the mantle of Batman.

In Justice League, Bruce is a God. That story arc probably takes place prior to Endgame.

@kid_jakeriv: Snyder can have Superman finish it, or maybe he built enough of that machine that he can at least transfer the memories from the machine to himself.
