Batman Pulls a Fight Club in Wednesday's Detective Comics #999

If you haven't been following the recent storyline in Detective Comics, it would probably be difficult to explain. Thankfully, DC Comics has made as good an attempt as any on their website:

Since taking over the title, Peter J. Tomasi and Doug Mahnke have been taking us on a brutal, somewhat surreal trip through Bruce Wayne's past, as a viciously efficient creature has taken down everyone who had an influence on Bruce in his life—Leslie Thompkins, Henri Ducard, Alfred…even a picture-perfect copy of Bruce's parents. But while the creature may have done the dirty work, he really didn't seem like the brains behind the endeavor. After all, whoever is behind this knows intimate details about Bruce's life. He knows exactly how to hurt Gotham's greatest protector.

Maybe because he is Gotham's greatest protector. DETECTIVE COMICS #998 ended with the reveal that the man…or should we say, kid behind all the destruction is none other than a young version of Bruce Wayne. But what gives? Who is this? It can't really be Bruce, can it?

You can obviously see why Detective Comics has stood the test of time and lasted nearly 1000 issues.

Which leads us to this preview of tomorrow's issue, showing Batman getting his ass kicked by himself. Enjoy.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
