If you're reading this site I would say there's already a pretty good chance that you've heard about Grant Morrison's next Batman project, "The Return of Bruce Wayne." I'm the only one here at Death Ray Weekly who liked both '"RIP" and "Final Crisis" so it should come as no surprise that I'm looking forward to his six part miniseries about Bruce Wayne unstuck in time trying to get back home. This makes sense to me since that's exactly what happened to the Forever People when they were hit by Darkseid's Omega Beams in their old series.

In an interview Grant Morrison told everybody how Batman will be a caveman, a witch hunter, a cowboy and a private eye in Gotham during the forties. I know that just reading that last sentence will make Chris shake his head in sadness while it makes me giggle in excitement. However, maybe this cover from an upcoming issue of "Batman and Robin" in a story arc called 'Batman vs Robin' will warm their cold hearts that can't feel the excitement of somebody doing something completely out there with Batman.
Yeah, that's Batman throwing Damian off the top of a building. I understand why they don't like Damian, he is a conceited ass most of the time but he's made some progress in "Batman and Robin" but nowhere else.


As far as "Return of Bruce Wayne" goes Grant Morrison has called it "Bruce Wayne's ultimate challenge — Batman vs. history itself!" That sounds fantastic and I for one hope this starts a whole new trend in Batman comics. I would like to see "Batman Confidential" turn into a series of nothing but one-shots that are all 'BATMAN VERSUS NOUN.'

It could be anything! Batman vs The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. That would be an interesting one. Conan fought a bear once. It would be a good match.

Batman vs Grant Morrison! Actually, I think that might really happen in "Return of Bruce Wayne" so never mind.

Batman versus a package of Oreos. I guess it would actually be Chocos but you can see what I'm getting at. Twenty two heart pounding pages of Batman sitting in the kitchen of Wayne Manor eating Oreos with milk! Maybe he remembers J'onn J'onzz while doing so. It would be touching and sentimental.

Leave comments or e-mail me with your ideas. It would be great!

The possibilities are endless! It would be incredible! They should do that! I could write that Oreo issue!

DC, you should get on this right away.
