Details Of Bruce Wayne’s Return Released

As previously reported on SciFi Pulse, Batman’s alter ego of Bruce Wayne will be returning to DC Comics. Writer Grant Morrison has revealed details of the original Batman’s return in an upcoming miniseries.
“Batman: The Return Of Bruce Wayne sees the original Dark Knight battling through space and time to reclaim his memory and identity. The hero was thought to be dead following a battle with Darkseid in DC’s ‘Final Crisis’ event,” reported Digital Spy.
Without Bruce Wayne to don the cape and cowl, Dick Grayson, who has been previously both Robin and Nightwing in the DC Universe, became Batman, with Wayne’s son Damien as Robin.
“Return is a fairly intricate time-travel story in which the world’s greatest hero, the optimum man, is up against the supreme challenge to his ingenuity and skill,” Morrison said during an interview with USA Today.
“How does Batman get out of the ultimate trap?” Morrison asks. “It has a mystery and an apocalyptic countdown going on, there are some major twists and reveals, and it sets up big changes to the Batman universe status quo.”
Morrison also noted that Wayne will travel through time during the Return storyline. “The first episode is set in the late-Paleolithic era, the second is in Pilgrim-era Gotham Village, and we also get to see Gotham in Western or noir-style,” he said.
Look for Batman: The Return Of Bruce Wayne #1 (of 6) to arrive in stores in April 2010.
