Batman #148 hits comic stores next Tuesday, the 4th of June, bringing Dark Prisons to an end (though there is still an epilogue to come before Batman #150) before everything goes all Absolute Power. Although, it seems in Batman #148 there is definitely a bit of Absolute Power.
We get a young Bruce Wayne studying under Daniel Capito, choosing not to create any backup personalities despite Capito’s urging.
Did Bruce Wayne change his mind and then remove all memory of it? Or did Capito do it, without Bruce Wayne’s consent, for his own purposes? Either way, there is definitely a clash of personalities here. Talking of which…
Damian Wayne and Robot Robin aren’t getting on so well either. But of course, Batman always has a plan, even if it’s just the backup personality Zur-En-Arrh, given robotic form and masquerading as Batman.
The Zur-En-Arrh Batman is going to cure Gotham. Of what? Crime? Poverty? People? But it looks as if someone is going to try and stop him. And no, not Police Commissioner Vandal Savage.
Looks like the Amazo robots of Blackgate, hosting parallel universe Zur-En-Arrh personalities, and now part of Amanda Waller’s conquest of superheroes, can have other uses as well… Batman #148 by Chip Zdarky and Jorge Jimenez is published on Tuesday,
