Like a lot of you, I’ve been curious and excited about what exactly Grant Morrison has planned for Batman when he returns to the character after this “Battle of the Cowl” business that will be going on through at least May.
I mean, of all the ways to temporarily “kill off” Batman, I certainly didn’t expect Morrison to do what he did with Batman, and leave him where he left him at the end of Final Crisis #7.
I just couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen next. And I mean that literally. I could not wait. So I broke into Grant Morrison’s house while he was running errands the other day and snooped around his office, looking for clues (But let’s just keep this between you and me, okay? Don’t tell Morrison! I don’t want him to upgrade his security or anything yet, as I have to go back next week and look for clues about his upcoming Seaguy series).
Anyway, I found some tantalizing hastily drawn sketches and scribbled notes. Check ‘em out after the jump.

Pretty dang funny. The “live bat” thing cracks me up…

I would have thought he would have invented shoes too, but I guess Batman is better than that.

Morrisons actually a better artist than that.

Well, it’s a good explanation for the dinosaur in the Batcave.

Soon as FC #7 happened, I flashed on the episode of Super Friends where they get trapped in ten skrillion BC, and they bury their Superfriends commumnicator (with a battery that lasts TWENTY skrillion years) so they’d find it in the present and come get them.
Not, the problem is, as soon as they turned on the communication system back when they opened the Hall of Justice, they’d have gotten the alert signal. So they would probably have programmed the computers to ignore the signal.
But that didn’t happen – they got saved almost moments after they buried the communicator. Good thing they didn’t say “Oh, good, I can dig up my communicator now before we leave…hey, where’d they go?)

Totally stupid – he would use DEAD bats for Batarangs. Obv!
