Bruce is struck with the heart of emptiness, the oblivion fallout from RIP, he needs the resurrection, the re-evaluation of the mission, he needs to become Batman again!
Batman #702 - "The Missing Chapter Part II: Batman's Last Case"
Bruce relies on Clark to hear the final recording, the message in the bottle.
Bruce lurks around Command D, waiting for a perfect time to strike. The Evil Gods could not prepare for the unpredictable, the hole in things is the impossibility of Batman!
Call back to Batman #665, convo with Gordon: could they be talking about Evil, Crime, the Devil, all three?
Cage of spinning events, coincidences, blood lines, connections, the apophenia of the Joker, of the Bat-computer, of the escape from the box, the trap...
The funeral of Batman from Gaiman's Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?
The Willowood Asylum...
The Forever Pit at the center of the world, the Hole In Things that is Hurt, the black hole piece that can never fit, the piece that is void, created by Darkseid's fall after being wounded by Orion.
But Batman is the Hunter, Batman becomes Orion and wounds Darkseid beyond repair with the god-bullet. He also gets shot, but this time by the Omega Sanction.
It's only a hole... Darkseid is gone...
Clark, Tim, and Rip Hunter listen to a recording of all this from Bruce. Message in a bottle to Superman.
Savage wants to unlock the casket to activate the end of the world. His cancer hurts so bad since he can't die that the end would be a release?
Savage has a French gimmick now, but was betrayed by Napoleon Bonaparte! He always gets betrayed, like in #1 with the Neanderthals!
Midnight Horse, Injun mystic who can speak Miagani language.
Bat-people have secrets to turn the sky upside down...
They also think that within the casket is the key to immortality...
Black Thomas!
Tampering with the casket will destroy the contents inside.
Bells, the bells of Barbatos!
Statues beneath Wayne Manor, paintings of Darius and everyone...
Black Thomas was there in Dark Night, Dark City during the ritual to summon the Bat-God.
Drank the starry venom...
Dark god opens the box...bells summon another from the shadows who will bring the wicked to account...
Jerome Van Derm...
Black Thomas, Old Gambler...
All days seem like yesterday...
Vandal remembers Bruce from #1!
Summon the everlasting day...
Alan wanted to kill himself because of his father's projects with Pinkney, the architecture and building representing a garden of broken headstones that mocked the future. The dark architecture was something that brought wickedness to Gotham and Alan believed a house unfinished to be better than a house haunted.
All the days of the world is one day and he must be strong for us all!Bruce experiences his jumps through time as one collective experience, one big tapestry woven by the Hyper-Adapter.
The Miagani whistle opens the casket!
Are you one too? Does Black Thomas see Bruce as a New God???
Alan Wayne feels that everything from that night was part of some grand design, the same way Jack Valor felt: they can feel the Ancestor Box, the Omega Sanction, time itself weaving myth around the return of Batman.
Kenneth Wayne born and Catherine dead in childbirth.
Black Thomas leaves on the SS Orion to go be Jack the Ripper I guess.
