Over in Justice 3001 today, the revived clone of Bruce Wayne, Batman, faces his past – and a dark rival.

A myth? Not for one person, the real Bruce Wayne, in the present. or the recent past. Depends how DC Continuity works, this is a Batman who hasn't been healed, losing his mental illness and memory that makes him who he is.

Because in today's Justice League Darkseid War: Batman, Bruce is in the chair. The Moebius Chair. And it as made him unto a god. But that doesn't change his perspective or focus that much, just that the subtext of his obsession has now become the text. So it sees him just focusing on Gotham's crime problem, and then a particular crime specifically, that of the death of his parents at the hands of common criminal, Joe Chill.

And a question that hasn't been asked before. How many people, including Thomas and Martha Wayne, did he kill in his career?

Bruce, chill, no pun intended, you know it could have been forty-one… Well, it is Hallowe'en after all…
