    Still don't like it

     First of all I'm a big fan of pirates and Batman so needles to say I was really looking forward for this particular number. That said I'm gonna stat with the good. 
     

    The Good 

     
    I think that the art in this (an all the other comics in this volume) is great, simply amazing, the way Batman is portrayed even though he is not in costume is breathtaking. The visual part helps create a mood that essential to any batman story. I liked the parts where the JLA and the rest of the bat-family appeared, because just look how many people have gathered to stop Bruce, one guy, no costume, no memory and they still scared of what he is capable, this is the kind moment that makes me love batman even more. Also this scene proves that they didn't do a good job with the crime scene after the crisis, shame on you JLA, Batman taught you better. 
     

    The  Bad  

     
    Well as I said in the beginning I was looking forward for this issue ever since the cover was released and really what a disappointment. The pirates were mostly unnecessary, yes they were searching for treasure and that lead them all to the cavern but I feel that everyone of these issues has to have a "theme" and I don't think it's really necessary. The most important thing of all is that were in issue number 3 and we have no more info that we did at the end of number 1. Bruce is jumping in time and if goes back to present day Gotham something bad is going to happen, that's all we know. 
     

    Finally  

     
    If the main character wasn't Bruce most likely I wouldn't read this but since this issues are the one that are going bring him back I have to, next issue is about cowboys which I find completely boring but I hope it surprises me. I really hope there is something at the end of the this volume that makes having pirates, pilgrims and caveman more sense but I doubt it, but hopefully next issue will answer something.

      Grant Morrison is acclaimed because he is one of the few writers who really push the medium to its potential. Part of the reason he can do this is because of his knowledge in the Occult.   There will always be three types of readers that walk away from a Grant Morrison story: (1) Those that had no idea what happened and did not like it, (2) Those that had no idea or little idea what really happened but enjoyed the story and (3) those who understand the messages between the lines.   With Gr...

      The Return of Bruce Wayne checks into the pirate era, as Bruce Wayne continues his dangerous adventures throughout the time line.    What You Need To Know. Batman was sent on an adventure through time by Darkseid's Omega Sanction, hoping that Batman would do what he always does, survive.  In doing so he may have set off a chain reaction that could destroy time as the DCU knows it.  Batman is apparently aware that is what's going on, and against seemingly all the heroes notions, he intends to fix...
