    "So I backed away from a lot of what [the costume] had been and replaced it with this kind of 'Tron' effect. That was a big influential film from my childhood." - Alex Ross, character designer for the Buck Rogers revamp.

    From the Bats in Mesoamerican Mythology section of the Wikipedia article on bats -- "A gigantic, life-size ceramic bat-man has been discovered and dug up from the Templo Mayor. The Templo Mayor is located in the center of the Mexica capital of Tenochtitlan. Known as a god of death, this statue has the clawed feet and hands of a bat, but the body of a man."

    He should overshoot the current timeline straight into the future. Kamandi can be his new Robin.
    The Joker can be a Hyena.
    The Penguin can be a penguin.

    In reply to Bruce Wayne To Return Next Year... And Throughout Time
    I think I liked this idea better when it was called "Captain America: Reborn" and Ed Brubaker was doing it for Marvel Comics. Granted, the Big Two rip each other off all the time, but this seems a little on the nose and soon. I actually can't believe I'm the first to make the comparison.

    Before the flame-wars begin, I do realize that there are big differences in the storylines, but seriously, this seems like it maybe should have been held off on a bit longer.

    @schrodingers-katana: It was a bad move in the first place, not that I can fault DC for trying to shake things up by taking away the World's Finest for a while, but it was horribly timed.

    Bruce disappears while TDK is demolishing the box office and was absent for his 70th anniversary, but his return for DC's 75th anniversay as one of comics and pop culture's biggest icons isn't something they'd want to miss out on exploiting.

    @schrodingers-katana: I had what I thought was a fairly well-thought out response to this point, but I decided that this is one of those discussions that no one wins and the whole internet loses.

    And I can't contribute to that in all good conscience.

    @Bongoes: All valid examples I would say. I'm not here to argue the merits of one company over another. I just wish they would focus more on doing their own things then trying to rip-off or one-up each other.

    I didn't know the paleolithic era had giant bats from whence Bruce could get his giant bat-head for his costume.

    Also: Batman: Quantum Leap!
