UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
DC Comics' week of announcements continues this morning with news of the return of Bruce Wayne in a time-traveling miniseries written by Grant Morrison.
Debuting in April 2010, the aptly named Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne finds the character — presumed dead after the events of Final Crisis but actually hurled into the far-flung past — attempting to reclaim his memory and his place in time.
"Return is a fairly intricate time-travel story in which the world's greatest hero, the optimum man, is up against the supreme challenge to his ingenuity and skill," Morrison tells USA Today. "How does Batman get out of the ultimate trap? It has a mystery and an apocalyptic countdown going on, there are some major twists and reveals, and it sets up big changes to the Batman universe status quo."
The six-issue miniseries, which features a rotating roster of artists beginning with Chris Sprouse and followed (possibly) by Frazer Iriving, opens in the Late-Paleolithic Era and then moves on to 17th-century Gotham Village, and so on.
"Each of the stories is a twist on a different 'pulp hero' genre — so there's the caveman story, the witchhunter/Puritan adventurer thing, the pirate Batman, the cowboy, the P.I. — as a nod toward those mad old 1950s comics with Caveman Batman and Viking Batman adventures," Morrison says. "It's Bruce Wayne's ultimate challenge — Batman vs. history itself!"
The first issue of The Return of Bruce Wayne will be 38 pages, with subsequent issues containing 30.
sounds cool. like an elseworlds mini, but tying in (eventually) to B&R. DId you notice how it was stated that the title is becoming more ominous? sounds like Bruce'll either be a bad guy, or not decide to be batman anymore at all (Zurr-enn-arrh right?)
I figured it was only a matter of time before Grant did a story like this either in one of the main Bat-titles or in a mini.
Gee,… hero throught dead, ….but actually in the past, ….fighting his way forward through time to reclaim his mantle. Hmmmm, where have I heard THAT particular story before?
Seriously? First Blackest Night/Necrosha, now this. While I think it sounds cool, it also sounds repetetive.
Well if they go the "Batman Beyond" Route with Dick being Batman and Bruce in the Alfred / Advisor role, I'd be ok with it.
I used to get everything Morrison wrote. I'll probably get this but I will think twice about it, which is a first.
Do you think he'll have an issue where he has a shield and little wings on his head? Not impressed really not impressed. It doesn't suit Batman to be time travelling around and '38' pages? Right ok so you'r having 22 pages of story umpteen adverts and an eight page filler story pertaining to the next crossover event of the decade? Betcha!
One I won't be bothering with methinks.
its only right that the guy who killed bruce get a crack at bringing him back. for after all its a given that sooner or later dc would want bruce back among the heroes.
I completely agree with Mark. This is exactly the plot of Captain America. How can you guys say it "sounds cool"? Unless "cool" has become a synonym of "rip-off"?
Weird to see the negative reaction… sounds great to me. Kind of wish they hadn't spoiled the surprise this early, but, hey.
I'm pretty sure this was in the works before reborn even started. lets say FInal Crisis 7?
This would only be interesting if they revealed that Vandal Savage was really Bruce Wayne?
Captain America is randomly jumping through moments in a life he's already lived while his body in the present is possessed by his archenemy.
Batman is physically trapped in the past and is working forward through thousands of years of history on his own.
Sounds completely the same.
Said Doug: "Well if they go the "Batman Beyond" Route with Dick being Batman and Bruce in the Alfred / Advisor role, I'd be ok with it."
In Morrison's USA Today interview, he says there's another year of Dick and Damian as Batman and Robin, "before that book starts to dovetail with Return and we rush headlong and screaming into the next big, earth-shattering, game-changing twist in the life of Batman."
My current working theory is that, when all is said and done, Dick will remain as Batman. However, it will be Bruce as Robin. I think that, like Ra's al-Ghul attempted to do in The Resurrection of Ra's al-Ghul, Damian could become the "host" body for a disembodied spirit — in this case, Bruce Wayne's. I expound a little more on the theory here.
Hm. Bruce Wayne as a pirate. Written by Grant Morrison, of course.
And it debuts in April. Is April 1st a Wednesday, next year?
(Also, if he's gonna be a pirate, I hope he stocks up on BAT SHARK-REPELLANT.)
"rip-off"? Really? Do you seriously think Morrison sent Batman back in time at the end of Final Crisis and then said "Yikes, I hope someone out there comes up with another superhero lost in time story I can yoink from in order to figure out how to bring him back!" Yeah, that sounds like Morrison alright.
Seriously, it's coincidence, not plagiarism.
Sounded good right up to the point where it says Grant Morrison is writing this. No thanks. I've had quite enough of his drivel.
"Waah, waah, his ripping of Captain America: Reborn!" Need I remind you that Batman got lost in time at the end of Final Crisis, far before CA:R…so if something's ripping off another than it's Reborn.
Hey, when Grant used the Omega Sanction in Mr Miracle 5 years ago, was that a ripoff of this current Cap story too? Grant must be the best plagiarist of all time, he copies storylines that haven't even been written yet.
"Gee,… hero throught dead, ….but actually in the past, ….fighting his way forward through time to reclaim his mantle. Hmmmm, where have I heard THAT particular story before?"
In Fantastic Four, I think. When Reed was believed dead in the '90s, wasn't he revealed to actually be stuck in the Stone Age, where he was working on a time machine with sticks and rocks?
I too am a bit surprised at the negativity, but if there's one thing that fanboys hate it's "ZOMG RIP-OFF!"
Seriously, first Grant was accused of ripping off Bru by killing Bruce and replacing him with Dick, then Bru got accused of ripping off Grant after Final Crisis for revealing that Steve Rogers is "unstuck in time," and now Grant is being accused of ripping off Bru for the exact same thing.
And of course there is Blackest Night/Necrosha as mentioned earlier, but before that when Blackest Night was first hinted at people complained about Blackest Night being "Marvel Zombies with black power rings."
In both Final Crisis and Secret Invasion "evil wins" (Darkseid and Osborne respectively) blah blah blah and it goes on and people keep complaining about these superficial similarities.
This sounded hokey up until the point it said Morrison was writing it.
-While I do think it will be good, I don't think Batman really suits a time travel story. Also, I absolutely hate any and all spin-off mini-series for characters with their own books (in this case, more like three or four).
-Where does this leave the 'Batman & Robin' series? Arrgh! Please, DC, don't do an 'x-men' and just keep everything running. You'll stretch it too thin.
Stupid idea.
I've said it elsewhere, I'll say it here: What's the point of a having someone who looks *exactly* the same as Bruce Wayne running around Gotham if it's not so Bruce's soul/spirit/whatever can take it over when they need him to return? He'll be pissed off that Dick & Damian didn't find his clues from the past, they'll get the boot, Damian will go 'bad' and Tim will return as the only one who believed in Bruce. Job's a good 'un.
Sounds a awful lot like Captain America: Reborn to me.
Regardless of the story or writing in it, at least the first issue is Chris Sprouse art!
You're kidding me right? This sounds JUST like Captain America. Who's been stealing Ed Brubaker's ideas?
Have any of the people crying foul here been reading SUPERHERO comics for more than the last 6 months to a year? It's genre fiction people! There are only so many plots, it's what the creators hang on those plots that makes them new, interesting, funny, exciting, compelling, etc, etc
interesting idea but somehow I prefer Bruce not returning yet and Dick remain as Batman for a few years or so and see how it'll play out.
People who are claiming that Reborn is ripping off Return or vice-versa,
Go read Slaughterhouse V. Both of these stories (along with the time-jumping in the television show Lost) are paying tribute to a device used in Slaughterhouse V.
Alan Moore…Batman!
definitely sounds way too similar to the Cap story… which I also think is lame.
It's nothing like Reborn because he's dressed up like a pirate. Sounds more like he's ripping off the TMNT action figure line of the early nineties where they had Swashbucklin' Ralph, Astronaut Don, and Pizza Delivery Mike to me.
The Thing was a pirate, too…
This story, Captain America Reborn and the Fantastic 4 story are all ripoffs of Back to the Future 3.
Seriously…Morrison is the best superhero comic book writer out there and his stuff is consistently top notch. Not every project is a grand slam, but they are always entertaining. If you like Batman, than you should get this.
What can you do… I think we all saw this one coming…
I think it's pretty obvious who Grant Morrison is really ripping off here:
See Captain Atom with the dinosaurs! In Ancient Rome! The Wild West! And…World War II!
I'm predicting that in the last issue of this new miniseries Bruce Wayne will be caught in a nuclear blast and thrown back to the present where he'll fight crime as…the new Breach!
Morrison, you genius!
Batman Pirate looks alike Pirates of the Caribbean's Davy Jones
wow, DC is lettting Morrison write any old turd of a story he wants, don't they?
Batman and time-travel goes together like Batman and Space Aliens…not really apropo for the character IMO.
Explain to me again why Morrison is looked upon with such awe…?
I kinda like Dick as Batman and would feel cheated a bit if they demoted him to Nightwing
Don't you dare mess up the realism of my man who dresses as a bat to fight crime with time travel!
I really enjoyed all the caveman sequences in Captain America Reborn.
My criticism is not with the storyline itself, but the timing of similar plotlines being on the shelf at the same time. Not a Morrison critique, a Marvel/DC/state of the industry critique
And everybody is just riffing off of Joseph Campbell.
"I really enjoyed all the caveman sequences in Captain America Reborn."
Ds in Jeopardy in Idnetity Crisis / Identity Disk
Evil Wins in Final Crisis / Secret Invasion
Zombies in Blackest Night / Necrosh
Similar Journeys in Reborn / The Return
Coincidences happen.
I always said if I could write X-Men I'd have them be an army. Although my method would surely be different, someone else had the same idea and he's writing that right now. There's go my big idea! But it's not like Matt Fraction had that by himself. Messiah Complex was moving in that direction. Cyclops waving the flag he waves in Nation X started off that event.
I drew a Batman picture I thought was great. Later I saw a Batman statue that looked EXACTLY like what I drew and I was freaked out like 'did the artists see my Batman?" Of course he (they?) didn't. They just had the same image in their head, and there's only but so many ways you can draw him different from what you've already seen, which was my goal, and probably theirs, too.
Before the Spider-man movies made images reflected in Spdey's eyes popular (because the movie popularized reflective lenses on him) I drew Spidey with Doc Oc's tentacles in it. Before I knew it, the 1st movie had Green Goblin reflected in a similar way.
There's so much talent between the companies, the biggest ideas are going to be pushed. If a writer at DC thinks of a great story, and at Marvel a writer thinks of a great story, but they happen to to be similar, they're not letting go of that great idea.
Well if Bruce Wayne can think up ways to defeat his super hero comrades, I am sure it isn't a stretch for him to find a way to return from the past. Batman has teamed up with the Legion of Superheroes. And he isn't the first superhero to experience time travel. If I was a strategist like him, I would be interested in time travel technology as soon as I heard about it and make plans to accommodate myself..
I think it would be more in character for Darkseid to take Batman to Apokolipse to break him, but Bruce being Bruce, he would survive and maybe not be found/discovered for several years. There could be so many stories told of his captivity and his desire to live/escape, not to mention when he returns, would he take up the mantle of Batman and if so, what kind of Batman would he be.
Ye gods, did anyone here actually READ what Morrison said in the interview? He's using this mini-series to EXPLORE GENRE FICTION. If anything its a mash of different Elseworlds stories… you know, like "Batman: Noir" and "Batman: Nine Lives" which explored the idea of Batman in a 1940's setting, or "Justice Riders" which explored the JLA in the old west… etc.
If there's one thing I, personally, always find fascinating it's Morrison's explorations of modern mythology — and the idea of how the stories people have created over the years fit into the myths and legends of the past. The Science Fiction Pulp Magazines of the 1950's as the heirs to Beowulf and stuff like that. Also, look at the way Morrison tool a lot of the crazy, 1950's Superman sci-fi concepts and just tweaked them slightly in "All Star Superman" and made audiences look at the Silver Age with a new vision.
As a fan of A LOT of the old Elseworlds stories (and for the record I MISS that imprint and am sad DC got rid of it) I'm actually LOOKING FORWARD to this!
Adding "methinks" to your comment doesn't make you clever.
I would so totally read VANDAL SAVAGE: THE ADVENTURES OF BRUCE WAYNE, MAN ADRIFT IN TIME.
I might even read this. Frazer Irving's art is icing on the steak.
What Grant is doing with Batman all relates to what Kirby did in the Fourth World series with the Forever People. When Batman was hit with Darkseid's omega beams, Darkseid, I paraphase stated that "the death that is life", forcing the person to live through a number of different time periods, like Sonny Sumo did from the Forever People. If anyone is coping someone, I'd say it is Ed Brubaker. By the way, I've read his run on Captain Americar.
Look we all saw the bit of promo art featuring Pirate Batman alongside a host of other odd characters that would come to rise or fall in FC so YES this was probabley planned long before Steve Rogers started Quantum Leaping about his own life line and I will freely acknowledge the differences here and now between the two iconic characters being killed and reborn at more or less the same time in more or less the same way.
Try explaining it to someone you know tolerates you'r discussions about comics, really go on.
I appreciate that Mr Morrison considers comics to be a big toy box that you can plunge your hands into and pull out Mego Man and My Little Pony and some how make them a viable toy team up against Skelator but what he seems to have forgotten is that stories have to have an internal logic and structure that make them work. Batman has never been comfortable in the sci-fi genre EVER. There's a good reason we don't get stories about Batman fighting space aliens and such and there's a better reason why the recent Doc Savage and Batman works so well.
And if you need that reason explaining to you find the nearest window and get licking.
Batman died in a helicopter explosion. Of all the stupid things he could have died from at least it was realistic. Never finding the body it was obvious he was still out there somewhere but where? So on and so forth.
Time travel? No sorry not for my view of Batman.
I say it sucks, it has to be a great strory for it to work, and since comic book stories are in decline, i dont expect it to be a good one, id pass.
And yes, its a stupid idea. It looks like DC is merging Pirates of The Caribean and Caps Reborn, its so pitiful that comics now are only about making money instead of making comic books a good read.
@ dphilpott
doesn't it? oh wow damn. Consider me told!
its a cheap way to bring the Batman back… too
This story has a better chance of being good if anyone other than Morrison writes it. I know that sounds cynical, but sorry, Final Crisis left me more than a little miffed. While Morrison has written some great things, I'm just so tired of him playing "Fear and Loathing in the DC Universe". It's simply a preference. Morrison writing Batman just doesn't work.
Boy I love comments threads.
Me, I love the Pirate Batman design. Huge grin. I'm looking forward to this.
I've dug most of Grant's Batman stuff. RIP was a bit of a failure, in my opinion (and most other people's apparently), mostly due to the awkward fact that his actual "death" was in another comic entirely, but I loved the Club of Heroes stuff, and B&R has been great fun.
For those saying it's "ripping off" Reborn: you're idiots. It's an interesting coincidence, but it's not like this is an original idea, and Grant's been doing this story just as long as Ed has, so accusing either one of ripping off the other is just silly. Anyway, Kurt Busiek's doing the same thing in Astro City with a Captain America analogue, and nobody's accused anybody of ripping HIM off.
Now, if the fact that this is too similar to the existing story makes you not want to read it, I understand. I haven't read any of Brubaker's Cap, myself. But don't scream "ripoff", it's just childish.
ahhhhhh…at least the message boards remain consistant. if you can't say anything nice…welcome to the internet.
I am pretty excited about this and to be honest, anyone who didn't expect something like this to bring Bruce back obviously hasn't been following the series.
The Omega Sanction essentially puts people through multiple lives, and when Bruce was attacked by those beams, the first thought in many fans heads was, "Wow, there are gonna be some weird ass lives that he can live. Can't wait to see it."
Also, the comparisons to Captain America Reborn are superficial at best. Cap is put through a time traveling jaunt in which he relives OLD past experiences due to a plan by his greatest nemesis, culminating in a fight over his body. Batman is forced to live different multiple lives (new ones in fact), trapped in this cycle forever due to his attempted attack on a God, and there is a body that may or may not be a clone. Quite different wouldn't you say? Only people who say there are similarities are those who don't follow both series (which you should as they are IMO the best books out there).
However, when you simplify to just "Both are time traveling so someone must have copied someone", you are doing the stories a disservice.
i still believed they should have come with something more original to bring Batman back, something more innovative.
This sounds awesome to me.
People always point to the most recent thing they can think of when a story idea sound even vaguely similar, as though most general ideas like this haven't been done in fiction several times before. The Captain America thing was a rip off of Lost (I don't watch Lost so the description of Reborn sounds more like Slaughterhouse Five to me) and now this is a rip off of Cap Reborn. Yet it is clear both of these stories have been seeded for a very long time (just like Blackest Night and Necrosha). I don't understand why people struggle with the concept that two different people can come up with similar ideas at roughly the same time, completely independent of each other. And as jackdoe explained, these stories don't sound nearly as similar when you get into the details.
Besides, there are too many comics being published to read everything and if two stories sound too similar by all means don't read them both.
You've hit the nail right on the head! It's neither clever nor interesting but above all it feels 'cheap'.
Batman isn't lost in time. He's dead. Grant Morrison should read some other DC books.
If Batman isn't dead, thanks for spoiling a decent crossover jerk.
@Allyn Gibson
I hope that this adventure will be more training for the Batman. Adding more to his arsenal of martial arts fighting styles would make him an unstoppable force, which he already is.
I hope it is treated like Samurai Jack's training would maybe explain my feelings best.
i think thats a good idea
They should have used that time-traveling plot in a Superman story. Each era he goes to he's challenged to use his powers and possibly change the course of history. Wasn't there already a Superman story like that?
This sounds REALLY stupid.
Damn, you superhero fans really need to stop calling rip-off all the time. There are no new ideas, get over it. Its immature. "You ruined my character!" "Such a rip-off"
If I had a quarter for every time you guys bitched in some non-intelligent manner I would be so rich I would buy Marvel and DC and fuck up all your characters even more.
As for the story? It sounds awesome. Grant Morrison is a genius, yet sometimes he forgets to write a well crafted story and gets lost in the high concepts. If this is a bit more streamlined, its probably going to be awesome.
For those that think that Morrison is ripping off of Captain America should check the dates, the time travelling reveal of Final Crisis predated the reveal that Cap was shot with a timetravelling gun by Sharon. I think that it is very likely that Morrison had the idea first, but has been so slow in execution of this that he will very naturally draw the accusitions of copying because Marvel will get there first.
(or people might mention that no one remembers seeing Morrision and Bendis in the same room together…Hmmm)
Sorry gents. No rip-offs here. I know this may come as a shock to some but, I believe that there is something in the way of planning for the return of a major character. Seeds were planted at the end of FC and Bru has gone on record saying he is riffing on Slaughterhouse V.
With that said I must say I'm a little torn. While I find the premise intriguing to a point, I'm not sure this is the best fit for the mainstream Bruce. Yes, Batman Elseworld tales have generally been good but that's mostly because they were outside the main continuity. I think if things were limited to one particular period, particularly the caveman era and we hadn't just recently gone though the whole building a better Batman shtick after Infinite Crisis it would have been much easier to swallow. Imagine seeing Batman stuck as a caveman with nothing but his skills helping him to survive. No gadgets, no computers, no money, no Bat family, no JLA, no Gotham. I think that would have been a much better way to "rebuild Batman". I can already picture a sequence where Bruce fends off a dinosaur rescuing a group of cave people and when asked how he could do such a thing, he replies "I've got one in my cave back home."
wow I think thats a good idea..
I would like to see Dick remain Batman a little longer. And no one is ripping off anybody else! So shut up about it!
There has been time travel in Batman stories before. If anything, Morrison is once again drawing inspiration from the Silver Age, and such stories as Batman #93's "The Caveman Batman" (1955) in which Batman and Robin travel back to pre-history. I believe this story has been long in the making for him, and I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully it will be one of his successful updates of Silver Age ideology, a la Animal Man and All-Star Superman.
Okay enough with "We'll gee haven't we seen this before?" comments. I think that I'll actually read the books before I disparage them.
"It's Bruce Wayne's ultimate challenge — Batman vs. history itself!"
Batman is going to totally WRECK HISTORY'S FACE.
Isn't this absolutely similar to the "Superman:Time and time" again plot?
What in the blue hell did I just read? Seriously. PIRATE BATMAN???? Grant Morrison and Dan DiDio need to go somewhere far away on vacation and never come back.

Seriously, it's coincidence, not plagiarism.
which is true but it's still a lame ass idea. am I the only one who thought that Final Crisis sucked! But Morrison seems to out do himself this time with this bunk crap. You're hearing it first—Morrison's slippin'.
Rip off or not, this is probably going to be off the wall crazy, Morrison-style. I'm pretty excited about that.
Seriously, Batman is gonna be a pirate. How could that suck? HOW COULD THAT SUCK?
If you can't enjoy a story about viking/caveman/pirate Batman, why are you even reading comics?
@daniel, because it seems as a stupid idea… i love comic books, i can read anything if it has a great story in it, but this seems so cheap, it just following a trend, its like colgate (marvel) and crest (dc) fighting for the number 1 selling spot regarless of how ridiculous the story can be, as long as it sells right? like jeph loeb with Rulk or Ultimate run, that was just junk, but of course Marvel is a selling machine, far from what had become on the 90s and 80s. Thier battle brings Bruce Wayne to a viking-caveman-pirate, i mean, cmon that sounds like a bed time story. Dont get me wrong, i hope that morrison can come with a great idea, i really hope so, though i dont have my hopes up.
@Samir, so you like your Batman stories grounded firmly in reality? Like a billionaire crime fighter who's nemesis is a man who fell into a vat of chemicals and came out the other end a criminal mastermind clown.
I cant believe everyone is reacting so negatively to this, i mean it does sound like it could end up a disappointment, but to me everything Morrison has done with Bats has been one amazing ride after another.
as for being similar to cap's story, sure the story line is close, but im sure the journey is gonna be completely different and isn't that whats important, not the premise?
and if Batman 666 is any indication the future for the bat family looks to be Bruce and Dick Both assuming the Batman role, with Bruce commanding Dick and with Damien in the Robin roll being commanded by Dick.
As i said before, this premise doesnt interest me, but I will be gettin it because Morrison never continues to surprise me with unbelievable twists and turns to make an unbelievable story.
Batman has already been a pirate it was called Leatherwing. Accept the pirate batman in that story was more of "Mutiny on the Bounty"esque or you know looked more like the Dread Pirate Roberts. Personally I think that type of apperence of a pirate suits batman more than a pirate with a dread lock beard.
It's really unfortunate that both the establishment of Dick Grayson as Batman and Barnes as Captain America aren't going to stick.It's time to move on people.Marvel and DC have nothing but exploitation and marketing in mind and the wacked idea that the original concepts are iconic and somehow sit in the same catagory as Sherlock Holmes,Long John Silver or Scrooge and can't be changed.This is nothing but creative stagnation and we perpetuate this by continuing to buy this drivel.Actually what is missing here are the behind the scenes confabs where the editors and lead writers of both companies got together years ago to plan this shared continuity for the eventual merger of DC and Marvel which will make them all undeservedly richer at our expense.Then they can continue to sell the same story over and over again to the idiots who defend these people and are willing to shell out for this crap at higher and higher prices.
i dont care how they do it…
just BRING BRUCE WAYNE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!
not that i don't enjoy seeing Dick Grayson as Batman….
Dick is my second favorite character next to Bruce.
but Bruce Wayne is Batman and Batman IS Bruce Wayne!!!!
it would actually be pretty cool if Dick stayed as Batman and he and Bruce double canvased Gotham!!!
2 Batmans 2 Robins? might work?
but then again…what do i know? i'm just happy they are bringing him back pirate or NOT!!!
as for this whole Captain America thing….
i don't read Captain America so i could care less!!!!!
Perhaps by being too concerned on the minor details of a story and worrying about what's a copy of what or that something is going too far away from reality we are limiting the creative pool of where a comic writer is willing to go with their stories. They want it to be acceptable and noncontroversial so that it will sell well, and the only way to do that is by coming up with repetitive stories and gimmicks.
But, stay the same for too long and a story will either stagnate or end entirely. Keep the twists and turns going and it will continue freshly. Though, sometimes I still wonder if it really will even be possible for Bruce to remain ageless and unchanged for the next decade or so.
But more so…if you stick with the same old formula and the keep coming up with the stories that send Batman out into his own familiar ground and deal with nothing but familiar enemies with familiar endings then more than anything you will ALWAYS end up with the same thing.
Boring stories.
But Morrison is random and chaotic. He's got the stuff that keeps a story twisting, so even when something seems like a normal run of the mill story…when written by him, I doubt it will be, and that's what makes it exciting.
Also, about Bruce letting Dick Grayson be Batman, you have to remember a couple of things. Bruce made a promise to avenge his parents, and two, he is also a perfectionist. I'm not sure -he'd- be completely happy with somebody else in the costume while he's permanently on the sidelines. Only thing that would stop him from being Batman is old age. Even losing limbs, I think he'd be driven enough to replace those with cybernetics and -still- keep rolling with the punches. Cause it's what he does. He's Batman after all.
i just want to see bruce wayne back
dude, if bruce is coming back through time won't he just be able to stop joe chill from killing his parents and in theory make it so batman never existed?
-kinda an interesting thought ive been having
What are you people on?
Batman and Cap killed, both shot into alternate timeines, Their sidekicks taking their places ( actually being popular in these roles) Both characters fighting to find their way back to the present, both having to be 'reborn' in their respective universes in mini series..all within months of each other, yet this is all some fantastic 'coincidence'.
Some people will believe any old sh*t.

- Understanding 3D Axis Arrows and Camera Tools
- Working with Text Essentials and Animators
- Using Tracker controls
Skill Level Intermediate
If you want use the Motion Tracker and Stabilizer un After Effects, you need to do two things. One, get a good track point. Two, set good track options. The first thing you want to do is open up the Tracker panel. You can do that a couple of ways. You can up a Window > Tracker or you can change your workspace to one that's been created specially for motion tracking. Now you don't do your tracking in the Composition panel; you need to do it in a Layer panel. Just take the layer that you want to track and double- click it to open up its Layer panel and you see that the tracker controls now become active. You can either track motion or stabilize motion. Let's do a track.
After I click one of these buttons I get a Track Point. The inside of this is the feature region. It defines what actually want to follow up in this image. The outside square is a search region. How far and wide I look to try to find that feature that I am tracking from frame to frame. As you move the cursor over the track point boxes, you will see a few different icons appear. These reflect different ways of moving the Track Point. For example, if I move my cursor in between the boxes you will see a four-way arrow here at the edge.
That means I am going to move the Track Point as a whole. And as I move the track point the center, the feature region is magnified. There we go. If I want to resize a box rather then use I can go ahead and move it to particular corner and you will see the all four corner move symmetrically or move it along an edge and you will see that I moved with box as whole as opposed to corners. I will go ahead and move my feature region inside and then move my search region on the outside.
If you need to further tweak your Track Point, hold down the Command key on Mac or Ctrl key on Windows and drag at individual corner to get it exactly where you want it to be. The size of these boxes is just as important as the position of them. You want to go ahead and make the feature region just big enough to enclose the feature you are tracking, but not too big. You don't want to pick extraneous features like submit from the background. The search region needs to big enough to follow the movement of the particular feature I am tracking from frame to frame, but not so big that it takes up the whole frame. The bigger the search region, the longer your tracking is going to take and the larger the chances going to accidentally pick up a wrong feature somewhere else inside this region.
So I am going to go ahead and bias it in the direction that I know my wildebeest is moving which is from left to right and then make it as big enough to capture that movement from frame to frame. After I decided what feature it is I am going to track, in this case the horns of the wildebeest. Next comes deciding where I am going to attach the new layer that I am going to have follow this tracked layer. That's where this little Plus icon, the attach point comes from. This says this is where the anchor point of my new layer is going to go. In this case I am making above a text bubble to follow this wildebeest. So just for laughs, I am going the attach point down by the wildebeest's mouth. I am tracking his horns, but the new layer is going to be attached down here in relation to the layer that I am tracking.
Now hand in hand with setting up a good Track Point is choosing good Track Options. I will click on this button to open up the dialog and there are two things in particular that I need to focus on. One is the channel what am I going to be tracking and in this case where the wildebeest is considerably darker than the sky behind, I will go ahead and choose a Luminance. I am going to look for this feature based on how bright or how dark it is. However, if I am in a situation where the feature where I am tracking is the same brightness as the background, but a different color then instead I might choose to track RGB or to track Saturation, but again this wildebeest is dark against medium brightness, Luminance is my better pick. The other thing you need up in your Options is what to do from frames to frame.
Now you do want to track Subpixel Positioning. There is no need to track fields in this footage because it's not drastic movement from field to field. But I do need to worry about whether to adapt my feature. If the size or shape of my track feature is changing a lot from frame to frame, I want to turn on Adapt Feature on every frame. If it's not changing a lot from a frame to frame, I will turn it off. Now when After Effects finds the feature in the next frame, it assigns to it a Confidence reading of how closely it matched its previous picks on what the feature is supposed to be. This pop-up allows you to decide what to do if its Confidence becomes too low. In other words that the feature is changed too much.
You can go ahead and continue tracking no matter what. You can stop tracking which gives you the opportunity to set up a new feature region. You can say well, just Extrapolate Motion, keep going in the same direction. Well, the option I use most often is Adapt Feature that basically says if the feature is changing a little bit from frame to frame until it gets say 20% different from where it was originally then instead see how this feature looks on this frame and now make that the reference that your tracking and click OK.
So those are the two major things to setting up a track: your Track Point and you options.

The Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat are on the verge of tipping off for Game 2 tonight in Miami after the Heat took Game 1 by a final score of 92-84.
It seemed as though the game could go either way until the end of the third quarter, when Miami started to seize control of the contest.
The Heat brought it on the defensive end and stifled a typically stellar offensive team (particularly the bench).
Three of Dallas's premier bench scorers—Jason Terry, Peja Stojakovic and J.J. Barea—finished the game an awful 4-21.
Dallas will need much better production from those guys if they want to win this series.
Miami also dominated on the boards, outrebounding the Mavs 46-36. They'll look to stay aggressive tonight and head back to Dallas with a 2-0 series lead.
Stay tuned for updates throughout tonight's game and the remainder of this series...

Over half of the truck was full with someone else's stuff. I told them my stuff would not fit in the space, could they empty the truck and come back. They told me it would fit telling me there was 700-800 sq ft left. (There were no written marks in thr truck to prove this).
3.5 hours went by and the guy told me the truck was full and I still had 1/2 of my apartment not in it. I had told them I had an appointment at 5:30 before they even started they said that's fine, so now I had to leave. My fiance was still there, he was there the whole time. I called him at 7:45 (7.5 hours gone by) He said thet filled the truck again.
Well upon completion they handed the papers I signed earlier to my fiance. The catch here is they altered the documents above my name so it showed I agreed to the new price of $8,432 when in reality it was not on there! There's also a box on the same document checked that I agreed o this before it was even loaded on the truck.
How could I have known exactly how much cu.ft I had especially if it was that much over my estimate? I called them yesterday and they basically tried everything to get me off th phone. I requested they stop shipment on my stuff.
The manager of distribution couldn't even tell me where my belongings were being stored. He said they were being stored in Washington. Now that would be a miracle for this truck to drive a 4 hour drive there and 4 hours back and empty the truck in 45 minutes total!
They would not send me any written confirmation that they stopped my order. During the estimate stage they said my stuff would be stored in New Mexico, and now it's somewhere 15 minutes from my house!
I called every storage place in Williamsburg, none seen the truck, but are keeping an eye out for them. Also before they left one of the guys came up too my fiance and said don't I get a tip I made sure nothing was broke and everything was packed correctly.
My fiance felt threatened that the guy would either harm my belongings or him if he didn't give him any money. So needless to say he handed him a $20 because that's all he had! The BBB said the company has solved all their complaints in the last 3 years, I found 6 in the last 2 months on Moving.com message board. I did talk with a lawyer today.

STOP! ..before you think about using the Better Business Bureau (BBB)... CLICK HERE to see how other consumers were victimized by the BBB's false or misleading information. Don't be fooled! It has been reported, when there are thousands of complaints and other investigations underway by authorities, the BBB has no choice but to finally give an UNsatisfactory rating to a BBB member business that is paying the BBB big membership fees every year. When a business is reported that is NOT a BBB member, BBB files WILL more likely show an UNsatisfactory rating, then reportedly shake down that company to become a member of the BBB. One positive thing about the BBB is, either way, if a business has an unsatisfactory rating with the BBB, you can be sure, the business is bad. But what about all those BBB member businesses that had complaints filed against them? Consumers never get to hear about them. What about the BBB advertising to the public?

Lou Reed dies at 71, was lead singer of Velvet Underground
New York — Lou Reed, the great punk poet of rock 'n' roll who profoundly influenced generations of musicians as leader of the Velvet Underground and remained a vital solo performer for decades after, died Sunday. He was 71.

Chris Tomlin shows his passion for Christian music
Chris Tomlin did the old "how many first timers? how many veterans?" audience poll at the start of his Milwaukee Theatre show Saturday night. Not surprisingly, the majority of cheers in the largely full theater were from the newbies. Tomlin's "Burning Lights," released in January, was just the fourth contemporary Christian music album ever to top the Billboard charts.
What's interesting is that, unlike fellow chart-topping Christian artist TobyMac, Tomlin went No. 1 while being far more explicit about God. Saturday's concert was even halted for a 40-minute sermon by Tomlin's pastor (and the head of his record label) Louie Giglio. »Read Full Article(4)

Student Movement Marks Radical Shift in Chilean Politics
bolivia / peru / ecuador / chile | education | news report Friday December 21, 2012 08:56 by The Real News
While students have not achieved their demand for free quality public education, movement develops new strategies with an eye towards upcoming 2013 elections.
Voiceover: The students of Chile grabbed the worlds attention in 2011 following massive mobilizations across the South American country demanding access to free and quality public education. Both secondary and university level students organized general assemblies, school occupations and sit-ins, and took to the streets in the largest numbers seen since the countrys transition to democracy more than 20 years ago. The students frequently found themselves confronted with a national police force, called the Caribineros of Chile, that seemed to show little reluctance in violently suppressing the largely peaceful movement, with one student confirmed killed by a police officer in August 2011 during the height of the protests. Its been more than a year since The Real News first covered the Chilean student movement, where we traced the historical roots of Chiles education system, among the most heavily privatized in the world, to the period of neoliberal reforms introduced under the brutally repressive dictatorship of General Agosto Pinochet, who came to power in a bloody US-orchestrated military coup in 1973.

The Texas
Rangers - Page 2

the spring of 1878,
Sam Bass and his gang held up two
stage coaches and four trains within twenty-five miles of Dallas. The
gang quickly found themselves the target of a spirited chase across North
by a special company of
Texas Rangers
headed by Junius Peak. Bass
eluded his pursuers until one of his party, Jim Murphy, turned informer.
As the
Bass Gang rode south intending to
rob a small bank in Round Rock, Murphy wrote to Major John B. Jones,
commander of the Frontier Battalion of
Texas Rangers.

photographic prints and downloads
Round Rock,
where Jones set up an ambush,
a fierce battle between the gang and the
Rangers took
place on July 19, 1878. In the melee,
Bass' sidekick,
Seaborn Barnes was killed and
Sam was wounded, though he was able
to ride away on his horse. The next morning he was found lying helpless in
a pasture north of town and was brought back to Round Rock where he died
on July 21st.
Over the next several years, the Frontier
Battalion captured more than 3,000
but by 1882 the "frontier" was beginning to disappear.
During the next three decades the
prominence and prestige waned, although they continued to occasionally
intercept cattle rustlers, contended with Mexican and
Indian marauders along the Rio Grande River, and at times
protected blacks from white lynch mobs. By the turn of the
century, critics began to urge the curtailment or abandonment of the
Rangers. As a result the Frontier Battalion was abolished in
1901 and the
Ranger force was cut to four law enforcement companies of twenty
men each.
activities were soon redirected towards law enforcement among
citizens, but when violence increased along the Rio Grande River, the
participated in numerous bloody brush fights with Mexican nationals.
In 1914, during the early days of World
War I, the
Rangers had the daunting task of identifying and rounding up
numerous spies, conspirators, saboteurs, and draft dodgers. In
1916, Pancho Villa's raid on Columbus,
New Mexico
intensified already harsh feelings between the United States and
Mexico. As a result, the regular
along with hundreds of special
appointed by
governors, killed approximately 5,000 Hispanics between 1914 and 1919,
which soon became a source of scandal and embarrassment.
In order to restore public confidence, the
legislature overhauled the force in January 1919, but not before a
number of sordid tales of ranger brutality emerged. Soon the
four companies of
recruits were cut from twenty to fifteen per unit. The legislature
also established higher salaries in order to attract men of higher
character and established procedures for citizen complaints.
After the enactment of Prohibition in
1920, the
Ranger's primary function was patrolling the Rio Grande River
against tequila smugglers and cattle rustlers.
During the Great Depression, the
force was reduced to just 45 men. Adding fuel to the fire, the
openly supported Governor Ross Sterling against Miriam A. "Ma"
Ferguson in the Democratic primary in the fall of 1932. As a
result, when Ferguson took office in January, 1933, she fired every
ranger for his partisanship, salaries were slashed and the budget
further reduced the force to thirty-two men. Without the protection of
the Rangers,
soon became a haven for
such as Raymond Hamilton, George "Machine Gun" Kelly, and Clyde Barrow
and Bonnie Parker.
In 1934, Frank A. Hamer,
a long-time
Ranger who had been let go during Ferguson's cutback, was asked by the
head of the
prison system to utilize his skills to track down Bonnie and Clyde.
Previously the pair had successfully broke out a member of their gang from
the Huntsville Prison, killing a guard in the process.
After tracking the Barrow gang across nine states, Frank Hamer, in
conjunction with law enforcement in Louisiana, learned that Bonnie and
Clyde had visited Bienville Parish on May 21, 1934, and that Clyde had
designated a rendezvous point near there with gang member Henry Methvin. Unknown to Bonnie and Clyde was that Methvin, cooperating with law
enforcement, participated in assisting with an ambush along the route to
the rendezvous.
by former Texas
Rangers Hamer and Manny Gault, a posse including two Louisiana lawmen,
and two more
Texans lie in wait on Highway 154, between Gibsland and Sailes. In
place by 9:00 p.m., they waited all night and through the next day with no
sign of Bonnie and Clyde. However, around 9:10 a.m. on May 23, 1934,
the posse, concealed in the bushes and almost ready to concede defeat,
heard Clyde's stolen Ford V-8 approaching. When he stopped to speak with
Henry Methvin's father, planted there with his truck that morning to
distract Clyde and force him into the lane closest to the posse, the
lawmen opened fire, killing Bonnie and Clyde while shooting a combined
total of approximately 130 rounds.
It is not clear
what legal authority there was to kill Bonnie Parker, who was not known to
have killed anyone, but Hamer made it clear that he had intended to kill
her. He had a reputation for not being overly solicitous with regard to
law details. Hamer and others from the posse kept for themselves some of
the stolen guns from Bonnie and Clyde's vehicle, and the United States
Congress awarded him a special citation for trapping and killing the
In 1935, James Allred
became the
governor after having run on a platform of better law enforcement. The
legislature soon established the
Department of Public Safety, of which the

became a part of on August 10, 1935. Also in this new department was the
Highway Patrol and a scientific crime laboratory and detection center
known as the Headquarters Division.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Hiring Salespeople: $24k to 45k/yr plus commission and bonuses and benefits.
We were supposed to sell locations for AMERIPOS and CASHLESS atm terminals for him, and were to be paid the salary mentioned plus $125.00 TO $150.00 PER sale plus overrides on the sales peoples sales if we were managers. I was National VP of sales for him and was to get $60,000 a year plus commissions and overrides/bonuses, and over the 4 months I worked for him, I received around $6500.00 out of almost $10,000 owed to me, and my sales people, collectively were paid about $5000.00 and are still owed over $25,000.00 (maybe more)
One lady I hired on named Mumtaz(a SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE YOUNG CHILDREN), worked very hard for him and sold three accounts which he promised to pay her on and she never got a dime even and had to go to welfare to provide for her children because she spent the time she could have spent getting a real job, working for this creep who ripped her off.
He then sent me a $2750.00 BAD CHECK,which almost put my family out on the street because it happened the same time we had to stay in a hotel during moving and I couldnt pay for my new rental house after we had already moved out of the old house nor could I pay for the hotel. If it werent for God and Jesus my family of three (3 year old, my beautiful wife and myself) we would have been living out of the car with no food or shelter.
Eric Walker knew about it, said he would send me money and that the bounced check was in error and he would make it good. Not long after that,the cell phone he sent me for use he had shut off, and my number removed from the service, and he had his cell number changed so I could not get ahold of him to "bother" him about the bad check anymore. I found this out by calling nextel with his account info and found it out.
Anyway, I called Rick Nye and AmeriPOS and informed him about Eric walkers bad check, rick nye told eric to pay me or else, so eric finally did western union me the money for the check, but not for the fees it caused me at my bank, or the days for the hotel I had to stay at because I didnt have the money from the check to move, (I Had to borrow money and sell posessions to stay in the hotel and feed my family-for which he could care less) but by that time, since the original check was late, he owed me another 3 weeks salary, which he claimed he didnt owe me.
There is a lot more to the story that I could possibly write in a sitting, but believe me, I have over 20 people who can back up this claim of fraud by eric walker. He defrauds everyone who comes in contact with him and was deeply in bed with AmeriPOS which should tell anyone who knows about this who he really is.
Then the jerk has the audacity to tell the salespeople and other people that every salesperson was not owed ANYTHING because they breached a contract with him, (Which by the way would be void anyway because Walker Services Inc was disolved by the florida dept of corporations as of mid-2003) and that he was not going to pay anyone anything.
He also had the balls to post on here about me saying I was a liar and cheat and stole 6000$ from him. He is demented and totally believes whatever lie his rotten mind can conceive of. He also tried to hide the fact that he has been attempting to run a hooker service, aptly named "Florida Exotic Escorts" or "Flexotics" on the internet. He even admitted to me that the girls he sends out on his "dates" do actually screw their dates for money.
This guy is the epitomy of a scumbag and anyone who has been adversely affected by this impotent jerk or by AmeriPOS, SuccessPOS, Cash-Link, Tel2Net can contact me. And if your an investor who is missing terminals , we may actually have possession of them and want to return them to their rightfull owners asap.
This Eric Walker of Walker Services Inc, is a part of the AmeriPOS scam as much as anyone else in the company and this proves it. He was also calling people who were posting on www.ripoffreport.com and threatening them with lawsuits and slander and such.
This is more information for anyone who was looking to work for these criminals.

One issue all the GOP presidential hopefuls could agree on in their Las Vegas debate this week was their opposition to the national nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, about 90 miles away from where they were trying to nuke each other's campaigns.
That reminded us of an incident in a prior campaign when the issue arose.
It was 1982 and Chic Hecht was running -- successfully-- for the U.S. Senate from Nevada. He, too, opposed the project and famously vowed to fight any effort to turn his state into a "nuclear suppository."
Hecht, a Republican, won that election and served one term. "No Jew in Nevada ever held as high a political office as did Hecht," observed the Las Vegas Review-Journal when he died in 2006.
The Obama administration cancelled the Yucca Mountain project in 2009.

Okay, the answers to all of this lie in The Silmarillion. The Undying Lands or Valinor, are located just off the edge of Middle Earth along a straight road off the Horizon. Only the Elves ships can sail along it (and not even all of theirs, don't ask, really it gets very complex!) As this is where the "gods" or Valar of Middle Earth live. Originally all the elves were meant to go there and stay but due to a whole load of complications, some never got ther, and some came back. But most of them have the option of heading back and "going into the west" as Galadriel calls it.
Of course, in LOtr JRR only hinted at this, and never said Undying lands, or Valinor, or Valar at any point. However, Mr Jackson has decided to thow these qustions into the mix, by liberally sprinkling his script with these phrases which mean nothing to your average movie-goer, and only make sense to ultra tolk-geeks like myself.
Hope I've helped you there perfectkiller, welcome to the forums, stay and enjoy, and feel free to ask anything you need to know, one of us usually knows the answer.

Best Weekend Getaway
De Land offers a three-in-one package deal of Florida attractions: In one weekend (without excessive hours whiled away on Interstate 95) you can enjoy Spanish moss-strewn Old South, Disney-tinged commercialism, and lush natural beauty. Located about 225 miles north of West Palm Beach, De Land echoes Savannah, Georgia: Both towns boast graceful architecture and bona fide downtowns. But unlike the isolated Savannah, De Land sits conveniently between Orlando and the Ocala National Forest. While you're in De Land, have dinner at the Holiday House Restaurant, located at 704 N. Woodland Blvd., across from Stetson University. While you clean off your plate of Southern-style buffet samplings, members of restaurant cofounder Willa Cook's family watch: Family portraits, each painted by Cook herself, literally cover the walls. Cook, aside from starting a thriving restaurant in 1959 and working as a professional painter, also happens to be a three-time water-skiing world champion. Eating aside, the turn-of-the-century storefronts warrant a nice stroll through downtown De Land, and the university's architecturally diverse campus beckons. If you like hiking, the best section of the Florida Trail happens to cut right through the nearby national forest, where the trail weaves through gently rolling hills. And when you tire of the outdoors and sleepy Southern charm, the mouse awaits.
