Zur-En-Arrh/Failsafe's Big Future Plans in Batman #141 (Spoilers)
Zur-En-Arrh/Failsafe has Big Future Plans for Batman #141 out tomorrow fro DC Comics... even if he has to explain them to himself (Spoilers)
Article Summary
- Batman #141 could be the year's top comic, continuing Zdarsky and Jimenez's hit series.
- Zur-En-Arrh's plan to inhabit Failsafe could outlive Bruce Wayne, creating an eternal Batman.
- Multiverse drama escalates with various Zur-En-Arrhs, including Batman Beyond's Bruce Wayne.
- Zur-En-Arrh/Failsafe's larger plans may involve cloning tech from Snyder's Batman run.
Tomorrow's Batman #141 could kick off this year's best-selling comic book as the series from Chip Zdarsky, Jorge Jimenez and friends dominated last year's best-selling comics. With Batman facing Failsafe, built by Bruce Wayne's backup personality Zur-En-Arrh and now inhabiting it. Because that was always the plan. Back in November last year, I reported "So Zur En Arrh has created his own backup of himself, intended to live inside Failsafe. To continue the mission after Bruce Wayne's own death. So even if Batman managed to expunge Zur-En-Arrh, it would be a lot harder to expunge him from inside Failsafe. And if there can be only one, from Zur-En-Arrh/Failsafe's perspective, it has to be the eternal, repairable robot. Pragmatically, Zur-En-Arr/Failsafe will save more lives than Batman; he's better at the job than Bruce Wayne. It's a logical argument. But, having been through Gotham War, Batman's not a fan of those." Well here's how it plays out tomorrow.
But what I didn't see coming was the multiverse of Zur-En-Arrh's challenging for possession of the Failsafe body. Including the Bruce Wayne from the Batman Beyond universe.
And also that Zur-En-Arrh has a much larger plan beyond the Failsafe body as well.
Time to dig out the clone-growing vats from the Scott Snyder/Sean Murphy/Greg Capullo run? Bruce Wayne has planned to extend himself into infinity using cloning machines. Might Zur-En-Arrh/Failsafe have a use for those now? A clone for every Zur-En-Arrh in the multiverse???
