Waynes absence left the then-current DC universe in confusion.
Morrison followed up Waynes return with the global focus and multiple Batmen ofBatman Incorporated.
The Return of Bruce Waynepicks up whereFinal Crisisleft off.
aside from a few isolated issues of 2009-2010sBatman and Robinthat featured the new Batwoman.
I thoughtReturnwould be appealing, as Ive been reading several of the postFinal Crisis/Batman R.I.P.series.
The other series wasBatman: The Return of Bruce Wayne.
The idea of cowboy Batman etc.
didnt have me running into the comic shop.
A few hints to the Wayne family history are thrown in for good measure.
Sound like a lot to pack into one book?
The plot moves through time at a fast pace and there is a lot of action.
Small pieces of the mystery are revealed throughout the story just not always in the right order.
Theyre out there, but you are expected to care enough to go and look for them.
After all, some of Morrisons details have been in the works since the prehistoric era.
If youve playedArkham Cityand are looking for somewhere to start reading Batman thenReturn of Bruce Wayneis certainly not it.
