This is the final chapter of the epic storyline that began in the best-selling graphic novels, BATMAN:R.I.P. and FINAL CRISIS where the original Batman was lost in time after being bombarded with the omega beams of evil Des-pot,Darkseid and continued in BATMAN & ROBIN: BATMAN REBORN where Dick Grayson, the original Robin, tookover wearing the cape and cowl of the Dark Knight after the world's heroes believed his mentor to have died. Review: The End comes Full Circle - So what is this book? It is basically the aftermath of an event that took place in a limited series (Final Crisis) that was foreshadowed in previous batman books, that were the conclusion of a saga that was written back in the 70's. Confusing? Yeah- kinda. Although it really isn't as bad as it sounds. This book is one of two conclusion books to Grant Morrison's current Batman epic (the other being "Batman and Robin vol. 3" coming out in May), but it easily stands on its own. As far as art is concerned, there are many different artists, and while in most comics it may be a little jarring, it makes sense in this particular instance, and contributes to the story. The story is told in a brisk and enjoyable manner. Now, here's the thing: as said before, this is the cumulation of an ENTIRE run on the batman books, as well as a follow up from Final Crisis. For Final Crisis, I found that those who praised it did the extra back-reading, while those who just read it without knowing history of the current DC universe didn't like it. Now this book is much more accessible than Final Crisis, but to get the whole story, one should read "Batman: R.I.P" and "Final Crisis". Once again, you will be able to enjoy this story without the extra reading, but this book really is a part of a larger epic. So, in conclusion: this book is for: Grant Morrison fans, Batman fans, people who like good art, and people who don't mind digging into a little extra thought in order to get the most out of the story. WHo is it not for: People looking for a brisk read, people who believe that Batman should be 'down to Earth' and not really have supernatural adventure. For me though, I loved this book, found the story to be very engaging, and can't wait to see what the next chapter is for the Dark Knight. Review: Bruce is back - You didn't think Bruce Wayne was really dead did you? With Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne, superstar writer Grant Morrison picks up where not only Final Crisis left off, but where his run on the main Batman title left off as well. The last time we saw Bruce, he was hit with Darkseid's Omega Sanction and presumed dead, only to be seen in a cave doodling familiar superhero logos at the end of Final Crisis. As this six-issue mini-series picks up, we find a confused and amnesiac Bruce traveling throughout different eras in time: from the dawn of man, to Puritan times, to running afoul of pirates at sea, to the old west, to the noir-ish times of Gotham City, and even beyond. What Bruce doesn't know is that if he returns to his rightful place in time, it could be the end of everything, and Superman, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Booster Gold, and Rip Hunter are in hot pursuit to find and save Bruce, and the universe itself. Playing around with Batman mythology, Morrison weaves so much in and out of current and past continuity that it's hard to keep track of everything going on, especially if you haven't been paying attention to any mainstream DC superhero stuff within the past two years or so. Despite that though, The Return of Bruce Wayne is a rousing and incredibly entertaining ride that even features cameos from DC icons like Vandal Savage and Jonah Hex, and even picks up enough loose threads from Batman R.I.P. to bring things nearly full circle. While Morrison appears to have more up his sleeve, Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne is an absolute smash, and a wonderful reminder that like Batman himself, when Morrison is on his game, he's the best in the business. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #833,842 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,288 in Historical & Biographical Fiction Graphic Novels #2,097 in DC Comics & Graphic Novels #9,532 in Superhero Comics & Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 463 Reviews | ## Images ![Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81p9UtF1UbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The End comes Full Circle *by G***L on February 10, 2011* So what is this book?

But first, a comment on Death! The media likes to occasionally announce the death of a major character from the major publishers of comic books. Everyone remembers the death of Superman -- the media and casual readers thought it was forever. It wasn't, but was the catalyst for extreme speculation and overproduction of comic books -- so if your collection is post-1990, we're talking resale of pennies on the dollar. We've seen the death of the Flash (Barry Allen) and the Green Lantern (Hal Jordan); we've seen the disappearance of The Atom (Ray Palmer), the death of Captain America and now the current Ultimate Spider-man line where Brian Michael Bendis is planning the death of that friendly neighborhood teenage crime-fighter. Story: Grant Morrison approached Batman's death and resurrection differently. Rather than by magic or by intervention of the planet Oa, we have time travel! I always liked Rip Hunter and his time machines. And the involvement of Bruce Wayne, his confrontation of Darkseid, and finally the Justice League comes to the rescue. This is a big book and I won't try to summarize each section. I will say that the book is broken up into various time periods - caveman era, pirates, pilgrims and some 1930s detective noir. Awesome (yes, that word fits here!) art by Andy Kubert, and many others. My favorite sections include the witch hunter, Nathaniel Wayne! And then the segue into the pirate parts -- with a Batman pirate flag! Fun stuff! Bottom Line: Hey, this may not have hit the media as strongly as the death and life of Superman, regardless of their creation during the same 1930s, but Grant Morrison wrote a story that is engaging, maintains interest, doesn't get too corny (LOL) and has enough comedy among the serious & dark parts to make the Dark Knight's adventures that much more fun to read about. Batman's amnesia, his fate as a human booby-trap created by Darkseid, all comes together in a fascinating climax you don't want to miss. A must read for any comics fan.
