Shocking News Alert: Grant Morrison to Frustrate Comic Fans

I know what you will say, "if you don't like it, don't read it."   That is easier said than done since Morrison authors the books from my favorite superhero, Batman.  Now we have so many damn Batman books with more than one Batman and apparently it is all connected because we are awaiting the return of Bruce Wayne and its significance to the DCU and the Batman Universe.  Except, Grant's too busy and we have to wait for these books.

Will everything be delayed?  Does the DCU storyline as a whole revolve around Bruce Wayne?  Is Wayne truly a White Lantern?  Does Bruce a play major role in Brightest Day?  We were told TIME MASTERS: VANISHING POINT plays an important role in the next DCU storyline?  Who  knows!

Batman: The Return of Bruce #5 was confirmed as being postponed for two months. Originally scheduled for Aug. 5, the DC Comics website now has it coming out on Oct. 6. Blogger David Uzumeri brought this to my attention with a Twitter poster on Friday, and the realization of the delay dovetailed in with two other pieces of stray information from weeks ago.

The first was the news of a sudden artistic change-up to Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #4 from Cameron Stewart to Georges Jeanty; originally solicited for July 21, the book only came out one week late, but the artwork looks a tad rushed. Stewart wrote on his blog that “conditions were such that I felt that my work would be drastically compromised and sub par should I stay on board, and so I felt that it was best that I walked away.” It has proven to be amicable, with pages already filtering out online of a future collaboration with Stewart, Morrison and DC on the 16th issue of Batman & Robin.

The second is from the blog of Sean Murphy, artist of the Morrison-penned Joe the Barbarian. According to his post, he’s waiting on the script for the final two issues of the series. Joe the Barbarian #7 was originally scheduled for release on July 21, while DC’s website now has a release of Sept. 15.

Checking with the solicitations for the past three months, Morrison is working on four series: Batman, Batman & Robin, Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne and Joe The Barbarian. He’s also been announced to work on two miniseries, Batman: The Return and Multiversity, a new series titled Batman Inc., as well as a prose book titled Supergods: Our World in the Age of the Superhero.

Batman: Return of Bruce Wayne #4 PREVIEW- COWBOY BATMAN

I like the idea of Batman being in a cowboy setting.  It's like Bruce Wayne is the Roland Deschain of his own Dark Tower series - Batman:  The Last Gunslinger.  This is the first issue of Grant Morrison's Bruce Wayne arc that I have been excited about. 

Solict from DC reads:

This Grant Morrison’s can’t-miss Batman story rolls on as Bruce Wayne’s next stop on his amazing journey through time brings him to the Wild West – but will he escape alive? Artist Georges Jeanty joins Morrison to take The Dark Knight on a ride.

Enjoy the preview below.

Preview: BATMAN #701 'R.I.P.The Missing Chapter'

Thank God and issue of BATMAN with the real Batman.  Maybe we will actually get an issue of ACTION COMICS that contains Superman himself.

I am excited to read these next few issues of the Grant Morrison's BATMAN to find-out what happened to Bruce Wayne prior to getting hit with Darkseid's Omega Sanction in FINAL CRISIS #6.  I know the percentage if being extremely disappointed is very high, but I have faith.

The good news is Major Spoilers got a sneak peak of BATMAN #701.  Enjoy the preview.
