It isn't exactly worth reading on its own, and would actually be pretty much incomprehensible to anyone who hasn't read both RIP and Final Crisis already. It also isn't necessary to understand The Return of Bruce Wayne. It is, however, a pretty interesting read, especially since it's mostly narrated directly by Batman himself. I flagged the cover as awesome, and it is. There's also a whole gallery of really cool Batman art at the back of the book, by several different artists. Mar 06, Anne rated it liked it Shelves: comicsgraphic-novelsread-in It's been a while since I've read Batman: R. I vaguely remember Bruce being drugged, and then hilarity ensues Anyway, I guess that this sort of fills in some of the gaps in R. P and Final Crisis. Morrison's writing is always trippy and weird, but I'm hoping it will all come together for me once I read Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne. Jun 11, Jesse A rated it liked it Shelves: library-it-upgraphic-novels. Largely unnecessary but not bad. Jul 21, Sam Quixote rated it liked it. This is a kind of collection of B sides and rarities from Grant Morrison's Batman: Time and the Batman Batman storyline. The first concerns a meshing of Batmans, present and future, in a number of futuristic backgrounds - this was the best looking part of the book but was confusing to me, even though I've read the others in this Batman cycle Black Glove, RIP, Return of Bruce Wayne, etc. There's also a This is a kind of Batman: Time and the Batman of B sides and rarities from Grant Morrison's epic Batman storyline. There's also a good one shot story of the new Batman and Robin, Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne, and about the shades of grey in crime. One day they'll collect all of the Batman books of the sequence into one or two absolute editions and readers of those will, or might, find all of the storylines make sense, but for me, having read each of these books 2 or 3 months apart, it's a bit confusing. All of the time travel stuff is way out there with Morrison introducing the concept of "time bullets", literally a time travelling bullet that is every bullet ever made Reading some of Morrison's stuff, it probably helps being on several drugs in order to, er, "get" the point of the stories. Reading them here in Batman though is a bit strange and oddly unsuited to Batman: Time and the Batman world. Some nice art aside, the stories in this book aren't essential to the enjoyment of other works in this series specifically "RIP" and "The Return of Bruce Wayne". This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Not my favorite. This is definitely an appendix book within Morrison's run. We learn a tiny bit about Professor Carter Nichols, the scientist who creates the time travel device that allows Bruce to escape. Which in itself is very confusing. And then the more useful R. Imagine that, a theme of time in "Time and the Batman. I'm glad I read it and can refer to it later. But it's definitely choppy and not really meant to be a cohesive storyline. Jan 24, Anthony rated it liked it Shelves: batman. The rest Batman: Time and the Batman kinda eh. The first story is pure Morrison confusion, though I appreciate the idea of a Batman story spanning 3 generations. Aug 07, John Yelverton rated it really liked it. It's great to have Batman back, but it's awful that Grant Morrison is allowed within yards of the character after his recent "contributions". Mar 10, Ben rated it did not like it Shelves: graphic-novels. What a mess. Why in the world would you collect these stories in this way? It seems they are addendums to other storylines; in that case, collect them with those storylines! This is like a short story collection that is really a collection of final chapters from novels. Further, there aren't really any new ideas here. I guess I'm slow cause I have no clue wth I just read. Oct 26, JB rated it really liked it Shelves: my-dc-collection. Another great piece in the Grant Morrison's Batman run puzzle. I will say that you'll enjoy it more if you've read the previous books in Morrison's Batman run and Final Crisis. It does highlight some of the most important things that happened in Final Crisis. It shows a case that involves Batmen through time I'm always in for stories involving a character through history and stories with time traveling. The Missing Chapter was great to read too, this story shows you what happened to Batman after the events of R. The Great Escape might be my favorite story in this book. I love how this story shows how little Damian knows about his father and how it's Batman: Time and the Batman clear he really wants to get to know him. The greatest thing about this story is Dick explaining to Damian why Bruce let one bad guy "get away" intentionally and it's a beautiful reason. A reason you can understand Batman or rather Bruce Wayne making. This part alone made the book for me. Highly recommended! 'The Batman' Release Date Pushed to March

The series picks up from Final Crisis 6. The series detailed the journey Bruce Wayne takes through the timestream of the DC Universe after being deposited in the distant past by Darkseid in Final Crisis. The time periods are prehistory, Batman: Time and the Batman witch huntspirates at sea, the Wild West20th-century Gotham City just a few months after Thomas and Martha Wayne were murdered, and the present day, and usually depict the Batcave or Wayne Manor. Bruce Wayne also visits "the end of time". Morrison described the vastly different time periods in each issue. It's Bruce Wayne's ultimate challenge — Batman vs. As far as his artistic collaborators on the limited series, Morrison explained, " I know Chris Sprouse is penciling the first one, so I'm fairly Batman: Time and the Batman it'll be the best comic set in the Late Paleolithic Era that you'll have seen for a very long time. I'm a huge fan of Chris' work, so I'm keen to see what he's done. I think Frazer Irving might do the second one, cementing his reputation as the comic world's most prominent Puritan Goth Adventure artist. The series will follow the heroes' journey to find Batman who was lost in time following Final Crisis. The final issue was released in Novemberwith Sook sharing art duties with Pere Perez on his issue. Caught in the explosion of the time-and-space-bending Omega Beams of the New God tyrant Darkseidan amnesiac Bruce Wayne Batman: Time and the Batman cast back in time to the dawn of history. Nearly killed by a tribe of Neanderthals led by the immortal caveman who will become Vandal Savage Batman: Time and the Batman, Wayne is rescued by a younger human, who returns his Batman: Time and the Batman belt to him. Operating more on instinct than actual knowledge, Wayne dons the pelt of a giant bat and uses the tools in his belt against the cavemen, but is eventually forced to flee by jumping over a waterfall. When he recovers at the bottom, he finds he has jumped further forward in time, arriving in Puritan times. His first act in this new era is to save a woman named Annie from a monstrous, tentacled creature, after which he tries Batman: Time and the Batman build a life for himself in the small colony of Gotham. Calling himself "Mordecai", he joins the ranks of the local witch-hunters alongside his own ancestor Nathaniel Wayne, and uses his forensic skills to solve crimes that might otherwise be blamed on witchcraft. When Annie is revealed to be a witch and claims responsibility for summoning the monster, Bruce is unable to stop her being hanged by Nathaniel. Unaware that Batman: Time and the Batman man she promised to love "Until the end of time" is a Wayne himself, Annie curses the Wayne family before she dies. Wayne again finds himself catapulted forward in time. Wayne appears in the 18th century, where he is confronted by legendary Batman: Time and the Batman Blackbeard. Blackbeard believes Wayne is the fabled Black Pirateand demands he lead him to one of the most famous treasures he is known to have stolen—that of the Miagani, a primitive tribe of "Bat-People" descended from the cavemen that Bruce encountered, who immortalized his prehistoric exploits as the god " Barbatos ". Blackbeard's other captive, a boy named Jack Loggins, confides in Wayne that he is the grandson of the Black Pirate. Jack then helps Wayne stage a deception that disposes of Blackbeard and all but one of his crew. Afterward, the Miagani guide Wayne to the deepest part of their caves, where he finds his own cape and cowl, left hanging there after his arrival in prehistory. The cape stirs Wayne's memories, and before they fade once more, he instructs Jack to write an account of these events, and place it in a box marked with a bat symbol to be entrusted to the Wayne family. At dawn, Bruce disappears into the timestream once more, moving forward to the late 19th century, and the Wild West. In this new time period, Wayne fashions an identity for himself as a masked "gunfighter" though he still has a "no killing" and a "no guns" policytargeting the operations of Vandal Savage. Savage hires bounty hunter Jonah Hex to deal with Wayne, while he conspires with another of Wayne's ancestors, cultist Thomas Wayneto steal the box from the Wayne family. Bruce rescues the current holder of the box from the villains, who recognizes him as the box's true owner; after recovering Jack Valor's journal from within, he is shot by Jonah Hex and falls off a dock Batman: Time and the Batman the waters of what will one day be Gotham Bay. Following this encounter, the newly founded Wayne family Bruce's ancestors build Wayne Manor on a nearby cliffside, and hide the box in the caves below it: the same caves the Miagani used to occupy, which will one day become the Batcave. Bruce emerges in the 20th century the exact time is intentionally vague; the clothes and cars suggest the s, but Bruce is told that "retro is big this year" and is taken to hospital to recover from the gunshot wound, where he meets a woman named Marsha. It transpires that Wayne has arrived in Gotham not long after the deaths of his own parents, and that Marsha was a friend of his mother's who believed his father, Thomas Waynehad her murdered and faked his own death. She hires Bruce to investigate her theories, but when the suspicious Bruce tracks her to a graveyard, it is revealed that she is a member of the devil-worshipping Black Glove organization, who intend to sacrifice him to Barbatos unaware that he is responsible for the myth itself to gain immortality. The ritual involves a time machine created by Professor Carter Nicholsbut Bruce disrupts the proceedings by stealing the machine and escaping through time once more. Wayne materializes at Vanishing Pointthe vast archive of all history that exists at the end of time, moments before the death of the universe. Here, Bruce's memories return, and the entire truth comes out: Batman: Time and the Batman never intended to kill him with the Omega Sanction, but instead relied on him to survive, building up more and more destructive "Omega Energy" within his body every time he jumped through history, which would eventually destroy reality upon his return to the 21st century. To prompt these jumps, Darkseid sent a servant, a hyper-dimensional monster known as the Hyper-Adapterto follow Wayne through time, which has followed him to Vanishing Point. While all of this has been going on, Bruce's allies in the Justice League of America have realized that he is still alive, and have been searching for him. SupermanRip HunterGreen Lantern and Booster Gold have been traveling through time events chronicled in the companion miniseries, Time Masters: Vanishing Pointconstantly one step behind Bruce, and now arrive at Vanishing Point just as the final step of Wayne's plan goes into motion. Merging with the robotic Architects that maintain Vanishing Point, he has had his memory wiped once more and allows the Hyper Adapter to possess his body, so that he can bring it back to the present day 21st century using the Time Sphere that his allies arrive in. Per Bruce's plan, the combined might of the Justice League defeats the creature, rips it from his body and hurls it back into the Time Sphere, catapulting it backward through time, defeated. The threat of the Batman: Time and the Batman Energy remains, however, and so the Justice League medically stop Bruce's heart, inducing death and allowing the energy to dissipate. Before his heart is restarted, the comatose Bruce experiences one final vision of Darkseid Batman: Time and the Batman Metronthe former inviting him to embrace Anti-Life, and the latter urging him to dispel Darkseid Batman: Time and the Batman facing "the first truth of Batman". Bruce recalls the night he first conceived of the identity of Batman, as seen in Batman: Year Onewhen Alfred Pennyworth saved his life by suturing fatal wounds, and Batman: Time and the Batman the truth: as much as he has attempted to claim it all during his crimefighting career, the Batman has never been alone. Wayne awakens from the coma, purged of the radiation, and dons his cape and cowl once again, commenting that Gotham's disease has spread beyond its borders The story is followed by the events in Bruce Wayne: The Road Homeand then continues directly into issue 16 of Batman and Robinin which Batman unites with Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne to stop Doctor Hurtwho is revealed to be possessed by the Hyper-Adapter after it was sent back in time. Bruce accepts the current situations after the villains' defeat. The plotline then carries on into Batman Incorporatedwhere Bruce's realization that he is not alone inspires him to expand his crimefighting operation and train new Batmen in countries all around the world.
