A review by rashthedoctor
Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne by Grant Morrison
2.0
This is a follow up to the whole Batman R.I.P , Batman and Robin rub , which finally sees Bruce Wayne return from the DEAD. of course he doesnt take up the Batman mantle fulltime until later .
I'd be honest , i was not a huge fan of the whole Batman R.I.P storyline , much less of the aftermath. Although i did like Dick as Batman , but i absolutely dislike Damian as a character . But that's irrelevant to this story , my whole point is , despite people loving Batman RIP and being OK with the aftermath , i disliked the whole run . Of course I hadn't yet read this book .
Guess what ... I dislike it as well .
There's a story being told here but the wording is a whole lot of jagron and understanding it in one go is an achievement . The book tries and fails to be too clever, meanwhile the story was supposedly to be very cool with Bruch travelling through time and impacting history , but man time travel is such a boring and awful trope , i dont think its ever worked properly aside from some novels and back to the future .The shared time tales become too similar and formulaic , lacking in proper imagination .
The good bit is the book showcases Bruce's various talents , martial , deductive and intelligence. Rest is just meh at best
