Future State Gotham Goes Back To Batman's Beginning Before Final Issue

Published Tue, 13 Sep 2022 07:57:11 -0500

Damian Wayne may be pulling a gun on Batman over in Batman Vs Robin,but in today's Future State Gotham #17 as the future set comic comes to an end shortly, we get a war of all the Batmen, with Dennis Culver and Geoffo putting together a battle not just between Damian Wayne and Bruce Wayne's Batman, but also Jace Fox the Next Batman, Dick Grayson the former Batman, and the new Hush who could be a Batman. But there's one more Batman in the fight who needs to be accounted for.

This Batman is Gotham's original sinner, with ties to not just the future but the past. Batman's past.

There can be only one.

Joe Chill, the man who killed Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne in Crime Alley, possibly in a random mugging, possibly an arranged hit, depending on the story. But always the biggest inspiration for Bruce Wayne to become Batman and now he has a role in the future as a Batman, eager to join the fight… although as Damian Wayne also points out in Batman Vs Robin…

… it's always better when they wear pearls.
