Six Failsafe Spoilers For Tomorrow's Batman #128

Published Mon, 03 Oct 2022 06:57:11 -0500

As we just pointed out, tomorrow's Batman #128 goes out of its way to make sure we know everything in it happened before Justice League #75 and the Dark Crisis event. It's just a wonder, in that case, that none of them mentioned it as the League go up against the Failsafe robot that an alternative personality of Batman created in case Batman ever became a murderer, triggered by the Penguin's fake death at the hands of Bruce Wayne. And with protocols, like Alan Moore and Alan Davis's The Fury, to take down all and sundry.

1. A League Of Their Own

2. Under The Sea

With a heavily injured Bruce Wayne being patched by the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, courtesy of Aquaman. But it has been a while, as Bleeding Cool pointed out when dismissing some 4Chan rumours earlier, "maybe we can throw in Batman being shifted off to Atlantis for a couple of weeks to recover."

3. A Return To Future State

But we also ran some more Failsafe Batgossip a month ago, and that is also playing out tomorrow as well, as Gotham returns to a Future State style fascist police state, with Failsafe in control.

4. Light Reading

We also mentioned that you might want to read Joker: The Man Who Laughs by Ed Brubaker, Doug Mahnke and Savid Baron,

…as episodes from that play out in flashback in Batman #128.

5. Even Lighter Reading

As well as Batman #112 from 1957 by Bill Finger, Sheldon Moldoff and Charles Paris.

As that gets echoed in Batman #128 as well.

6. In The Spotlight

Creating a very distrusting Batman, whose experience wasn't just dismissed in a rushed final page and never mentioned again. You'll find it in the Grant Morrison Batman Black Casebook. And Batman #128 by Chip Zdarsky, Jorge Jimenez and Leonardo Romero will tell you a) what happened next and b) how it led to this…
