Batman’salternate personality has come back , lay down him DC ’s version ofMoon Knightonce more . Having descended into unexampled levels of wickedness with very little optimism , it seems as though Bruce Wayne ’s darker self has amazingly make over to become the Batman in next topic . Completing the changeover with the return of his morecolorful costume as the Batman of Zur - En - Arrh , Bruce Wayne now has much in common with Marvel ’s Marc Spector .

Cleary in a grim place , this unexampled issue sees the activation of a scallywag AI known asFailsafe that was ostensibly create by Batman himself . Attacking the Dark Knight and his fellow vigilantes , it looks as though the deadly automaton ’s charge is to replace the Bat - Family . However , Batman ’s memories creating it are practically nonexistent . Having been brutally beaten before the rest of the family arrived to allow for backup , Robin takes Batman back to the original Batcave that has n’t been used since theJoker War . Within the bowels of the give up cave , Batman changes into an older yet manifest costume as his mind is taken over by none other than Zur - En - Arrh ( who has n’t been seen in age ) .
Originally an alien who became the Batman of his own humans Zur - En - Arrh during DC ’s Silver Age , Grant Morrison reintegrated the construct during his trial onBatmanin the early 2000s . Developed by Batman in an isolation experimentation , Zur - En - Arrh became a backup personality in sheath Bruce Wayne ’s mind was ever compromised . In this version , " Zur - En - Arrh " was the induction idiomatic expression , the misheard final Word of God unseasoned Bruce heard from his Father-God : " the pitiful thing is they ’d in all probability throw someone like Zorro in Arkham" . Serving as a far more brutal Batman with greater assurance to break undimmed colour rather than black to fuse with the shadow , it seems as though Zur - En - Arrh was the one who build Failsafe : " a failsafe for a failsafe " . While this explain why Bruce could n’t call up , who bonk what else his alternate personality has done ( or perhaps has continued to do in secret ) ? As such , Batman now has a lot in vernacular withMarvel ’s Moon Knight and his own alternate personalities , Steven Grant and Jake Lockley .
examine as how Grant Morrison ’s run also reckon Bruce ’s mind formulate Bat - Mite as a third personality to reign in Zur - En - Arrh , perhaps the false scallywag will be making a yield as well . This would give Batman 2 alternate personalities once more just likeMoon Knight . The Bat - Family was already worried about Batman ’s mental state before this issue , and things are only going to get high-risk now that Zur - En - Arrh is back , the personality who ’s described himself as " Batman without the Bruce " . As such , it ’s going to be interesting to see how Gotham respond now that the more brutalBatmanis back in control of Bruce ’s mind ( over-embellished ness and all).Batman # 126is on sale now .
