Superman was killed and then returned, Captain America as well. Batman wasn’t really killed, but he was thought to have been killed in the Final Crisis last year, written by comic-book icon Grant Morrison. But, he’s being brought back as well… but how?
Morrison recently told USA Today about his plans to bring back the original Batman, as Bruce Wayne got a big dose of time displacement thanks to Darkseid’s Omega Beams at the end of Final Crisis and the original Robin, Dick Grayson, has been filling in as Batman ever since. Wayne also had his memory wiped, so getting him back from the depths of time isn’t going to be easy.
The centuries-spanning story will begin in 2010 in a six-issue series titled Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne.
According to Morrison,
“It’s Bruce Wayne’s ultimate challenge—Batman vs. history itself!” Batman will be making stops through time in the Late Paleolithic as a caveman, a witch hunter, a pirate, a cowboy and others.
