Today sees the publication of Batman And Robin #10 by Joshua Williamson and Simone Di Meo, and the return of someone bad. Big and bad. Really bad. And a special connection to both Bruce Wayne and Damian Wayne. So yes there are big spoilers that will likely turn this comic book on it axis. and reveal why so many upcoming covers have been not released yet. So no, not Man Bat, that storyline wraps up with this issue, but we do get the return of Goliath.
One of the dragon bats who guarded the sceptre of the kings in Bialya, Damian was forced to slaughter several generations of them until only the youngest remained who just licked Damian's nose. Damian swore to raise it as his loyal champion and gave it the name Goliath, set free upon Al Ghul Island when Damian returned to Gotham. And now he's back with a message from Maya Ducard, Nobody, last seen in Batman: Son Of Batman with Goliath.
And who might that person be?
Not Ra's Al Ghul or Flatline…
… but Bane. Turns out he didn't die in Arhkahm Asylum in the Joker War at the hands of the Joker after all. The Joker blamed Bane for wasting the death of Alfred on Damian Wayne, rather than using it to destroy Bruce Wayne.
Instead he was killed in front of Damian Wayne, something the Joker thought a waste.
This was not a happy Joker.
Indeed he got quite miffed about it all.
And for this crime, the Joker intended to wreak revenge on Bane.
Which he later did. Or did he? The events of A-Day played out in Arkham Asylum in Infinite Frontier #0 because the Joker left a little present. Joker poison gas bombs that explode, silently, with a new formula that kills people with a manic grimace, but no forced laughter – a silent killer.
And in doing so, kills five hundred in Arkham Asylum, including inmates, guards and medical professionals. The mass slaughter of many of the Batman villains gallery, most prominently Bane.
But maybe not. There have been clones, duplicates, and doppelgangers since. But this looks like the real deal. Batman and Robin #10 is published today by DC Comics. I am sure covers from #12 will be revealed soonish.
