Spoilers, Top Story

DC Comics Universe and Batman #73 Spoilers follows.

Is Bruce Wayne’s Father, Thomas Wayne Aka Flashpoint Batman, Alive…

…Or Is This A Macabre Dream?

Well, Thomas Wayne the Flashpoint Batman appears alive and carrying his son’s sleeping body and a coffin by horse in a desert.

They’re confronted by Ra’s Al Ghul’s forces…

…and he proves to be formidable.

Bruce Wayne wakes up later and embraces his father.

Bruce remains drugged after his dad somehow fixed his spine; we then get a revelation of sorts that…

…there could be a dream component to all this. Perhaps the drugs Bruce is under or perhaps someone dressed as the Flashpoint Batman masquerading as Thomas Wayne?

We then see an unmasked Flashpoint Batman and father-son tension.

The macabre revelation follows as Bruce Wayne realizes that their heading to a Lazarus Nain Pit to…

…resurrect Bruce’s mother and Thomas’s wife Martha Wayne?!

This guts get creepier and creepier and doesn’t feel like a Batman story, but we should get a payoff soon as…

…we march to Batman #75.

Before that we have Batman #74.
