DC Comics Dumps Thomas Wayne From Upcoming Batman Arc! So, Who Is The Flashpoint Batman? Real Or A Knightmare?

Below is the new solicitation with a cover without the Flashpoint Batman and a solicitation that also removes references to him.

      BATMAN #70

      variant cover by LEINIL YU

      In chapter one of “The Fall and the Fallen,” Batman escapes his Knightmares only to wind up in a whole other bad dream. He’s locked in Arkham Asylum with his worst enemies, and the only way to get out is to fight them all. It’s a gladiatorial game of madness and mayhem, all for the amusement of Bane!

Original solicitation and covers for Batman #70 below.

Expect May 2019’s Batman #71 solicitation to also change as well as the June 2019 solicitations for Batman.

However, we do a Flashpoint Batman does exist in DC Comics allied with Bane (full spoilers here and here). So, if he’s not an alternate Thomas Wayne, who is he?
