In Battle for the Cowl II Jason narrates how "Batman" is again the symbol of fear that he should always have been. he has a point there, in Batman's career he has functioned at his best when he was instilling fear in criminals. After his disappearances of the 90s, Knightfall, No Man's Land, etc.  he became more of a well known public figure from disappearing and reappearing after great intervals to save the city and the fear that he inflicts from being an urban legend dropped therebye criminals are not as afraid of him as they originally were, intimidated yes, but feared? I'd say not.

 I believe Jason is right in Batman should become the object of Terror that he used to be, his return after this long absence and more violent methods is just what Gotham needs to maintain order in these hard times.

So IGN posted some collages of all the different characters in Battle for the Cowl and where they appear in the corresponding comics. Upon browsing the different images i came across this final one. And I cam to wonder

Why is Bane's Picture in the bottom right corner?

As we know, he's off doing Secret Six things, so why would he be involved in this whole ordeal? Then again the Six just got to Gotham after the whole "Get-out-of-Hell-Free" Card Fiasco. So maybe he'll play a role while he's here.

On a different hand, there was the time where it suspected Bruce and Bane were possibly brothers, but Leslie Thompkins' blood tests said otherwise. When she found out the results she said "Bruce, I'm so sorry" to herself. This sparks my interest after what happened to Spoiler, but that whole mess happen later (2 years in our time). And then again King Snake is supposedly Bane's real father.

I didn't really know what to expect when I started the Watchmen Motion Comic, at first I thought it was just a way for WB to make some money off of people that don't like to read, it still may be that haven't finished it yet. But it came to my surprise of how well it's made, the animation of the comic is very nice and fluid, the narrator may do all of the voices but his take in Rorschach is....haunting. The monologue at the end of Chapter II made me feel sorry for The Comedian, I've read the story several times and I never felt bad for him, I didn't hate him just never felt as sad for him for what he realized,  the journal entry captures the message Moore was trying to present in that segment, almost had me crying for Blake.

Can't wait to watch the rest.

As Watchmen has taught us (which is where the whole do they need capes came from) No they dont, but they do help, look at Batman, "No one touches my cape" he wouldn't be as Batlike without it
