On the heels of last month’s reveal of the cover to issue #1, DC Comics has released Andy Kubert’s cover to the second issue of the upcoming Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne miniseries. Written by Grant Morrison, it looks like Bruce will be huntin’ some witches …
This kills me.
I’ve been a Batman fan since before I started reading comics, and that was over 25 years ago.
But, this looks like shit.
So far it looks like a series of Elseworlds books. Pirate Captain Batman? Witch Killing Batman?
No thanks.
I’d also like to add that I was never a fan of Captain America until now – I always hated his enemies if nothing else – but c’mon, at least his resurrection was well handled – though the publishing delay was stupid.
That being said, I loves me some Grant Morrison, even Final Crisis, but not until the last issue. Superman singing. I loved it!

YOU CARE ABOUT A GUY THAT DRESSES UP IN SPANDEX LIKE A BAT AND TRIES TO FIGHT CRIME COMMITTED BY MIDGETS WITH BIRDS, A ZOMBIE, A GODDAMN VENTRILOQUIST, AND IS BUDDIES WITH A FUCKING SPACE ALIEN WITH LASER EYES.
How you referred to Superman was great, Adam Kirby.
But you have to admit, the Quakers had a HORRIBLE fashion sense… I mean, that hat is ridiculous! I can’t wait for it.
Yeah, definitely looking quite Solomon Kane there. Not that it’s a bad thing. Guessing he’s either in Europe, Limbo Town there, or maybe even Salem hunting witches. Not that we really had witches up here in Salem, but this is the DCU after all. Hell, might even be some alternate limbo world of Darkseid’s in the DCU anyway.

Both of the Kubert covers look great! As a Batman fan, I’m really looking forward to this series.

This will be even better than it looks if Morrison finds a way to tie it into Limbo Town from his Seven Soldiers: Klarion the Witch Boy.

Looks more like Solomon Kane.

Solomon Kane was my first thought as well.
Maybe he goes by Solomon Wayne?

I can’t wait to see what they do with him in the nineteen-fifties.
