New formats, new stories, and the worst kept secret in comics.
The Return of Bruce Wayne
Caveman Batman Concept
At the end of Final Crisis, Bruce Wayne was believed dead. Well… not so much dead as trapped back in time. The DC heroes all think Bruce Wayne is dead, except for Red Robin aka Tim Drake, but he has abandonment issues. DC has decided to take the Quantum Leap approach (or the Captain America: Reborn approach) and have Batman travel through time, back to the future. That’s right, you will get to see Bruce Wayne dressed as a caveman-Batman, pirate-Batman, pilgrim-Batman, and finally 1940′s classic Bob Kane Batman. I will say I am excited at the idea of seeing the long lost Legends of Batman toy line brought to life in comic form.
Honestly, Bruce Wayne could pop out of a cake in the horrible Teen Titans books and I would be just as entertained. Who’s writing this? Well the same man responsible for “killing” him: Grant Morrison. Art duties fall to Chris Sprouse (Midnighter, Tom Strong) so you know the art style will be dynamic. I’m also very happy to see that Andy Kubert is on design for the various costumes. Based on the people involved, this could be an interested title.
