Grant Morrison Predicted Events Of 2020 and 2021 In 2007's Batman

Batman #666 by Grant Morrison, Andy Kubert, and Jesse Delperdang was a side-switch to the main storyline they were creating in the Batman comic book for DC Comics fifteen years ago. It showed a future where Damian Wayne was Batman, his father Bruce Wayne, and adoptive brother Dick Grayson long gone. And this Batman was keeping the peace fifteen years in the future. Which is about now. And in the middle of doing some "research," Tim Seeley picked up on some Nostradamus antics of Grant Morrison in this particular panel featuring Damian Wayne, being bombarded with news and information as he went about his everyday Bat-business. Either Damian Wayne or Grant Morrison creating an avatar of themselves, sending a message to themselves from the future via the medium of comic books. I mean, you wouldn't put it past them. right?
