    Look it's a Semi driving through a Plot hole!

    Ok, I could care less who Oberon Sexton is, really I could. All of that was overshadowed to me by the 
     
    HUGE
     
    GAPING 
     
    PLOT HOLE!   
     
     
     

    Ok, I'm just wondering if anyone else sees Grant's huge and Gaping plot hole in this story. All of this about how the Underground tunnels of Wayne Manor resemble a Bat Symbol, when Combined with the Above ground Wayne Manor.

    Would this be the same Wayne Manor and Batcave that were Completely and totally destroyed in Batman: Cataclysm? If I recall correctly

    In Cataclysm the earthquake was a mile away from Wayne Manor. The mansion was seriously damaged, as was the cave network beneath. The ground beneath the mansion shifted significantly, and actually revealed the Batcave below. The original Manor was damaged beyond repair, forcing Bruce Wayne to redesign the Manor along with the Batcave .


    So, with all of that being said, where in Hades name did all these secret tunnels come from, Alfred's quoted "As you'll see the manor, designed by Nathan Van Derm for Darius Wayne in 1795, forms a stylized "W" But there is more to it than that. If we add the former lynch-way to Alan Wayne's crypt along with the proposed paths of his planned funeral garden , something familiar appears."

    That's nice Really it is, but the Manor that was designed in 1795 Isn't there any more

    Uhhh, why don't you go read issue 11. Dick addresses this very problem in a short talk with Alfred.

    Well, given that Bruce is traveling through time, it would mean that he'd have the means to change time itself.  In turn, the design of Wayne Manor can be changed without the "butterfly effect" potentially affecting Wayne Manor post-Cataclysm. 
     
    Otherwise, I would also say "re-read issue #11".

    @Monarch  yeah I know I read that, still does not explain how that tunnel survived the *.+ Earthquake that hit Gotham when the Cave didn't. 
     
    @jakob  yeah ok, I can see that, and I can see him going "Ok in 2010 the Manor will look like this, and blah blah blah) but the Main thing is that the Manor was Redesigned and Rebuilt from the ground up..   
     
    SO kinda Pointless

      Batman and Robin #12.  All is revealed in this incredibly amazing issue.  Batman struggles in his attempts to find Bruce Wayne and combat his partner, which is not the only confrontation that takes place in this issue.  A major shake-up happens and the identity of many players in the series to date are revealed.   What You Need To Know. Bruce Wayne is lost in time, in his absence Dick Grayson has taken up his mantle, while tutoring Damian Wayne as Robin.  Recently Damian suffered a spinal injury...

      Things are finally starting to piece together in the Return of Bruce Wayne. This issue more focused on Damian, and his role as Robin. This included relation to Batman and Talia. And...one more person which would be too much of a spoiler here. The Good The whole 'mind controlled Damian' thing seemed to fit here. I enjoyed how Deathstroke's powers were used to their full potential, as well as Dick's Blüdhaven reference. Morrison is also setting up something big with Dr. Hurt, who I had been wantin...
