Darkseid used Batman's willingness to survive as a weapon: the psycho merge failed, the Omega Sanction pushes him to accumulate enough energy to blow a hole in time once he reaches the present.
I'm assuming based on narration from Batman #702 that Bruce banked on Superman's super-hearing across time to hear his voice/heartbeat in the past. Superman had just come back from the 31st Century to arrive in the thick of the Final Crisis, locking onto the no more heartbeat of Bats to destroy Command D and emerge with the clone-corpse. Maybe with the compression of time due to the Forever Pit Darkseid singularity, Superman knew somehow that Bruce was in the past. He then went with Rip Hunter, Hal Jordan, and Booster Gold to the paleolithic era to find the voice recording.
Besty believes that Thomas paid to have Martha killed and faked his death (or someone else was in his place who died) because Thomas visited her after the killing and told her he turned Martha into a drug addict. Obviously, it's Simon who did this.
We're back to #13! We'll improvise, that's the thing about performances!
Hurt destroys the Knight piece statue.
He gives Dick a hematoma with the bullet caliber specifically chosen. But Damian can save his life if he gives up his soul to Hurt/Devil! The 666 future arriving!
They know he's Black Thomas!
Damian doesn't believe in souls, but Hurt says giving it up can save Dick's life; he'll understand after his service what he's lost...
Cowl emitting omega energy, the scent Hyper Adapter tracks...
Plan with the Archivists, but he had to forget so the Hyper-Adapter wouldn't find out by the time it broke quarantine. A trick to strand it here in the 21st century!
Omega attacks Bruce with Mother and Father trauma box curses!
Adapter arrives, assimilates Archivist, time to unleash Omega and blow a hole through time!
Apophenia bomb! Hanged man, Annie necklace, ka pow gunshot, eclipse, pearls, constellation, Orion, hunter, haha, aces, knight, black glove, upside down bat...
In the carcass of the Fourth World, Darkseid's afterthought is the Omega Energy. Give up Batman!
The beginning, the Ten-Eyed Tribes cutting out fear and demons, cutting out the trauma of the dark age...
Time is about to blow, condensed into a single point, like the Archivists said! The Supercontext of the Invisibles! Metron was the old man! Last of the New Gods (who were actually brought back in FC #7), he must speak to Batman in fragments, cannot interact with Earth/Fifth World in unbroken aspect. It was his absolute experiment!
Batman must turn Darkseid's design upside down! The Hanged Man! The upside-down bat! Summon the all-over and make it yours! You are the Shining Ones, the superheroes are the final gods!
Ring the bells! The bells of rebirth! The all-over is for evil!
Supes and Diana render Bruce clinically dead so the omega energy can disperse.
Bring him back, tell him Gotham is in trouble!
Jack and the Miagani code the batarang from the utility belt with the whistle! Put the Gotcha note!
The Hyper-Adapter infected a human host with Darkseid evil 250 years ago...
The first truth of Batman: he was never alone!
Brought back right before Hurt arrives...
The crypt is open...
The bells still ring... the night's not over...
BATMAN IS BACK. BRUCE WAYNE IS BACK.
Batman and Robin #16 - "Black Mass"
THE GRAND FINALE!
DN/DC! The bat = Hyper Adapter! But is it travelling forwards or backwards in time...
Black Thomas and the bat! Mystery box = casket, eternity signs = cave symbols...
Gets his name from Simon Magus, his first deal with the devil as the devil!
Joker opened the tunnels to deal with Hurt himself haha!
Damian defuses the bomb!
Joker wants to keep the gag since he doesn't know Bruce is back, but the only thing funnier than good guy Joker is Batman coming back and beating him to the punch!
Three days later! Corruption in city hall exposed!
Bruce lets them stay as Batman and Robin!
Bruce reveals to the public that he and Wayne Enterprises have been funding Batman!
