The Pulse:
I’ve said for some time that I believe the Thomas Wayne Flashpoint Batman is figment of Batman’s imagination as I think he has only been portrayed with Bane when Batman has been present in a scene. Also, despite the emphasis on Bane, is it possible that someone else behind Batman’s rapid mental decline and his knightmares? An intriguing, compelling and well drawn issue. 9 out of 10.
