Thomas Wayne, the Batman of his world, who saw his son Bruce Wayne shot in an alley and whose wife went on to become their reality's Joker, is quite a serious person. As one might expect. So when confronted with the dimensional glory of the DC Multiverse or Omniverse, it's a bit much. Especially given the best way to access the information.

That would be the Multiverse Guide by Grant Morrison being plugged there in today's Infinite Frontier #2 . $6 on eBay, though the endorsement might affect this going forward. Maybe DC Comics should reprint – or update it. But what of Bruce Wayne, Thomas Wayne's son. does he read comics? Batman: The Detective #4 has no answers about comic books, but as for toys?

He totally does. As for reading comic books, if you read Detective Comics #1039 it is possible editorial doesn't read every panel, as the fill-in text about Vile's history includes stuff that we probably weren't meant to read, even if it is praising us that we did.

Maybe Thomas Wayne would be a better detective if he read the comic books? His son is clearly a better Batman because he plays with toys.
