DC Comics Universe and Batman Secret Files #2 Spoilers follows.

Joker Spotlight In City Of Bane Tie-In Reveals That Flashpoint Batman Is A Figment Of Batman’s Mind?

Batman Secret Files #2 is billed as Bane conquering Batman and Gotham City with his cabal including Joker, etc. One person missing on the cover is the Flashpoint Batman, Thomas Wayne, who has been a big part of the Batman series as a foil for Batman, Bruce Wayne. His absence on the cover certainly feeds into the speculation that he’s not real, but in Batman’s head. What say you?

Solicitation above and cover below.
