COMICS: The 'Real' BATMAN To Become A New God Post Darkseid War

It certainly seems that despite making the "ultimate sacrifice" during the finale of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo' Endgame, Bruce Wayne Batman will be returning to the DCU but just like his Commissioner Gordon counterpart, his Batman will be like nothing ever seen before.

As evidenced at the end of the Free Comic Book Day issue from DC Comics, the future of Batman after the clash between Darkseid and the Anti-Monitor looks "godly".  Is Batman sitting in Metron's Mobius Chair? Judging by the wording from the FCBD, it appears that Batman will become a New God.

The Darkseid War is set before 'Endgame' and all the other July books (Hal Jordan is still a Green Lantern and Clark Kent still has his Superman suit.). Therefore, this isn't him coming back from the dead, since chronologically it's set before he dies. (Also, he probably will no longer be a New God by the end of the arc.)

Oh no this will be terrible just like Bat Gordon!

Please preemptively STFU until you read this or anything else haters.

Batman and Superman's roles got reversed. Batman becomes a God and Superman loses his powers. Poor Superman.

But I doubt this will be permanent. Just as @Justjeulin said, he will probably be his old self once this arc is over. I'm ready! Darkseid War looks like it's gonna be an amazing event!

@Justjeulin DC's "DC YOU" approach is story over continuity so we're going to be getting more and more instances like this where it's hard to determine where and when issues are taking place in reference to other comics.

So Superman is not a God anymore and Batman is and Batman isn't just a guy in a costume and Superman is? Damn, status quo just switched!

A super-powered Batman...and his power used to be "he never loses"....the bad guys might as well retire. haha

Just another example of bad writing out of trying to do good writing. The author is forgetting the whole point of the character in this case.

@Maxx:

Uhh, you know he's got 2 more Batman Earth One trades planned, right?

Anyway, making Batman is the only thing that makes sense, when you think about it. He's damn ear immortal anyways.

At least if Batman gas powers now it'll justify how unstoppable he is.
