Bruce Wayne Will Return!

Since his "death" at the hands of Darkseid, the fate of Bruce Wayne, the original Batman, has been the subject of controversy and speculation throughout the entire DC Universe. His apparent demise by the Omega Sanction has led some of his closest allies and friends to believe him dead, while others, like Tim Drake/ Red Robin, cling on to hope and have found evidence that he may be lost in the unknown, desperately looking for a way back to his own time. Even with his long time ward, Dick Grayson, taking over the mantle and cowl, Wayne's legacy as the Dark Knight was second to none, and many look at his protege as a placeholder holding the fort until his eventual return.

Well, that return is finally at hand.

Me Am Batman! Bruce Wayne creates something a bit... primitive...
Straight out of Newsarama and DC's blog, word was made official that Bruce Wayne will begin his comeback to his own time starting April next year in the miniseries Batman: The Return Of Bruce Wayne. Running at six issues, it will chronicle Bruce's whereabouts since getting zapped by Darkseid and the journey he'll pursue to return to the city he has sworn to protect.


Shiver me timbers, matey! It's Pirate Batman!
Penned by none other than the man that "killed" him in Batman R.I.P and Final Crisis, Grant Morrison prepares to send Bruce down a trip through history, as the world's greatest detective undergoes several "makeovers" to fit in with the times, and become a symbol of the era he currently resides in. Shown above are sketches by the talented Andy Kubert, who's no stranger to drawing Batman himself. More details on this upcoming Return can be read at Newsarama's post.

Look forward to the Dark Knight's return beginning April 2010!
