Stupid Batman question

[Gorn Captain]

The question is stupid, not Batman, of course.

I haven't read the comic in ages.
Is he:
A/ near dying
B/ dead
C/ about to get resurrected
D/ good as new

Bring me up to speed, OK....

Basically during the Final Crisis mini-series, Batman was "killed" by Darkseid...Superman showed up with a body, it was buried and the grave was subsequently exhumed and Black Hand stole "Bruce Wayne's" skull.

But Bruce Wayne was shown alive and well apparently and living during the cave man era at the end of Final Crisis.....

So he will be back.....in the meantime, Dick Grayson is filling in for the role of "Batman", while Bruce Wayne's illegitimate son, Damian, fils in as Robin.

You know, this obviously brings up the question of who's skull Black Hand is carrying around and French kissing. I have a hunch that skull is going to play a major role in the finale of this story.

Yeah..., In Red Robin # 4 ,.. Tim Just found the Bat carving's on the Wall's of the Cave as well,.. proving the Point that Bruce is still alive..

So when's DC Gonna get off thier Butt's,.. & make that Bruce lost in Time book ?

I'm thinking that Nekron really wanted Bruce's Soul...., But couldn't have it,.. because he is Lost in Time, & only his dead corps remains in this Reality.

Just let Rip Hunter go get him already.(If Rip's still around)

He is ...
Bruce's Death Was addressed..., & Rip didn't really want to get involved,.. other than to get Booster to retrieve the Pics of himself in the Cave, that Bruce Had , showing that Booster was rifting threw Time and taking actions on the Time Stream... I do feel that Perhaps Booster might Play a Big Part in the Return of Bruce,.. & IMO,.. they should give some of the Story to Jurgen's, for a # of Reasons, & if any, .. the Fact that Booster would Make a good add to the Story, based on what the Booster Gold book is about.

[Nostalgiabuff]

just a theory, but isn't it possible the skull in the grave is Bruces, but from having died of old age thousands of years in the past....that would set up a paradox storyline when he comes back from the past to become Batman again

[Gorn Captain]

Boy, this is confusing stuff.
Where is the time when somebody was just...dead....

[The Toyroom]

^ Uncle Ben is still dead.....

[Earth 2 Chris]

Morrison is so into reviving the old stuff, Dick should just contact Professor Nichols, get hypnotized, go back in time, get Bruce, and come back and whoop some Black Lantern arse. Heck drag Superman into. What will take DC two years or more to do would have been one 18 page story in World's Finest back in 1960.

So true....there was so much story in one issue back then than there is in entire arcs now....

[Gorn Captain]

I hate it when they kill off a character, but when they do, they should leave him dead.

I loathe it when they "kill and resurrect" just to sell some more copies....
