Preview: THE RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE #5

I've waited a long-time for this day.  The real Batman, Bruce Wayne, finally returns home to Gotham after Darkseid sent him back in time via the Omega Sanction in FINAL CRISIS #6. 

Tomorrow, Grant Morrison's highly anticipated Batman issue titled, BATMAN: THE RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE #5, featuring a noir-ish tale of the Dark Knight, as Bruce Wayne struggles to return to the modern day, aptly illustrated by the masterful Ryan Sook and Pere Perez.

Return of Bruce Wayne Takes Detour at Jersey Shore?

The folks at topspeed.com have found the Dark Knight, as you can see in this picture of him driving on the New Jersey Turnpike.  Wow, that trip through time that Darkseid sent Batman on at the end of FINAL CRISIS, just keeps getting stranger. 

Caveman Batman, Pirate Batman, Pilgrim Batman, and now Jersey Shore Batman?  In this picture, Bruce Wayne is seen driving in a replica of the 1960’s Batmobile that Adam West made famous.  He even went as far as to dress up a manequin as his beloved Robin to ride shotgun.  Although you can't really blame him for missing Robin.

Poor Bruce Wayne.  Darkseid's Omega Sanction is a thousand times more cruel than gfest could have ever imagined.  I mean, Batman had to fight his way through the Jersey Shore.  Even DESAAD might think that's over the top.

First Look at Caveman Batman - The Return of Bruce Wayne

By now you know that Gfest loves the real Batman not the artificial, whiny cretin that presently occupies the cape and cowl.

Final Crisis #6 was a bitter sweet moment for Gfest.  Batman took down the most powerful New God, Darkseid but was immediately thumped by the Omega Sanctions and presumed dead.

Your friends at Gfest (and the real Robin, Tim Drake), being well versed in all things Kirby, knew that Batman was not dead but forced to live a never ending series different lives with no knowledge of his prior being.

Next week it all changes (AT LAST) and we finally get the real Batman, Bruce Wayne back into the DC Universe.  It starts with Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne, the mini-series from writer Grant Morrison.

Promising to bring Bruce Wayne back to the DCU, the mini-series traces what happened to the Dark Knight after he was presumed dead, but apparently traveled through time.

And it all starts with Caveman Batman.

Since each issue of The Return of Bruce Wayne will be drawn by a different artist, the first look at the character's journey will be drawn by Chris Sprouse, who is establishing Issue #1's setting in prehistoric times.
