Batman is RICH AGAIN! || Batman 149, 2024 || 

9:58 Yea‚ this gives me the feeling that the Writer is closing out his run and giving options to the next person in charge. Like not wanting to limit them by having Batman be strapped on resources‚ having Savage as commissioner‚ having a mechanical hand that readers could point towards with‚ "Why doesn't he just do blank?"‚ etc.

Yeah let's leave the high tech body of a robot that can take down the justice league with the military that's not a high priority issue at all.

What I really hate about the part with Selina is that Bruce says sorry, atones, asks forgiveness, and so forth... but Catwoman doesn't. Bruce coped with it in the worst possible way, but Selina DID break up with Bruce JUST before their wedding. She never really apologized for it and pretty much made it his fault for some reason. Bruce let Zur take over and did some awful things under his control, but the Gotham War was largely due to her own ideas and how they blew up in everyone's faces. Never really apologized for that, either, and, AGAIN, made it pretty much Bruce's fault. At no point do we see her look into the mirror and admit to her own messes. And here, Bruce gives an heartfelt apology, and she... yet again doesn't apologize for her own actions. This is an oddly unequal relationship, and I'm bothered that the narrative seems to say that Selina shouldn't apologize for her own mistakes, but Bruce absolutely should. I used to be a huge Catwoman fan, but I'm liking her less and less lately.

6:59 😂😂😂 Vigilante justice on datass. That was not what my man was looking for. 😅

Barbara doesn't deserve to live in Pennyworth Mansion.........not after she led the charge to not give Bruce a moment to grieve Alfred's death at the memorial at the bar. Instead of giving Bruce a hug, she condemned him for not stepping up for them in the aftermath of the Bane War and stormed out like a child. ............ LIke the man just lost his father figure...which meant 100x more to him than anybody else in the room......and not a single one of them could give the man a hug or pat on the shoulder. Jason Todd was the most compassionate out of all them. AAAAAND whose fault was it that Alfred died? The bat family........they pressured him to take a vacation. When he did, they couldn't protect the city or Alfred. At Alfred's memorial, all of them should have been apologizing to Bruce....not being narcissists and saying "whatever, get over it now because you need to help us".

It's time for amada to bite the dust. Sick of her now

Bruce: "I dont age Bruce clone: Comics Bruce: Could you Gimme a hand with this Bruce Clone: literal 🖐 😂😂😂

I think Zdarsky is on the book for another year. My guess is he’s probably 2/3rds of the way done with his run

Heck yeah !!! Now this is how to fix the messy crap that has been done to Batman ! I am so happy about this comic. Batman is back !!!! Excellent narration ! Really Great comic !!!

The end of Brokeman! @5:10 I know that feeling of excitement when my direct deposit hits 😂

Thanks for posting this and that's one way to close out a very long story line and so worth it and I have enjoyed Chip's run on Batman. And Finally Batman gets his freaking money back and even better with the hand donation , but with the new Pennyworth Manor , nice way to get ready for Absolute Power. Thanks for keeping me and all my other comic fans. In the know.

Batman comics haven't been this deep in a while, this has been a very wild run.

Man Bruce has done so many revitalization projects for Gotham over the years, you would think he’d run out of building by now

Next thing you know, Batman gets his own Clone Saga. Anyway, it's a little crazy to think Bruce treats his clone better than Clark back at the start of Young Justice.

I'd like Bruce getting Wayne tech back and actually doing good things with it, like being an actual philanthropist lmao. Also, would've been cool if he kept the mechanical hand for a while, probably was better than his actual hand and would've been a reminder of this era(which had ups and downs but it was fun for me). Also, why didn't the hand age as well? It doesn't make too much sense tbh, but hey, that's comics

I feel you brother! Enough of Amanda Waller, bring in Brainiac! Maybe Absolute Power will end with Fail-safes body being "destroyed" and a little green flicker will turn his eye on and Brainiac will be back and better than ever 👀

What a handy way to wrap things up.

I don't know. The Batman clone seems to be the second coming of Ben Reilly. I'm glad they got rid of him and that Bruce has money again. All the other stuff they addressed seems bad to me.

The whole Joker War BS of Lucius Fox & Wayne Board kicking out Bruce is on par with Tesla telling, “Elon Musk you are only allowed $400B…”

I like that Bruce tried to do whatever it takes to save his clone from being aged up before the he cloned sacrificed his hand so that Bruce could have his hand back before he died in piece. I also like that Bruce got his money, house (although it’s a new manor since he told Savage to keep Wayne Manor because he’s going to find a way to defeat him because new status quo), family, and Selina (who told him about her adventures in Tini Howard’s run, in which they laugh because it’s ridiculous and dumb) back. Overall, this is a good comic and sets a new status quo for the Batman Family after Absolute Power (which might be a lackluster event).

Here's hoping I can get back into Batman with a new story arc.

Good afternoon comic break down 😁😊

"...So he cut off his hand .." - 🤨 Bro what? 😂😂😂

Bruce got his drip back.

Amazing work as always my friend.

Now this is a good status quo for Batman. Hopefully it sticks for a long time.

Tired of Waller, tired of Meridious, tired of Ultimates again already, wtf was krakoa but a few wasted years of my life, all but for another reboot. Here we go again. Tired of GD Phoenix the most, just kill it already.

Finally Cant wait for absolute power event ❤

I feel like Bruce should have called for help from Zatana or Talia. Maybe even Vandel. Or even try to use Dionysium to solve the issue. Well baring soul fusion.

Somebody needs to bring back Alfred.

Oh there's that 3 billion $s, it was in my other batsuit the whole time...

Felt like a new writer was coming in and he needed to set a good base. As fast as this was, it was better than the way Marvel ended Krokoa. It actually makes me wonder if comics are so corporate (see the solicits) that we'll get more of these rushed storylines.

Awesome 👍

They could have just sed he had some Lazarus pit water left from when he fought savage and that’s how he got his hand back

Can’t wait to see NightWings new Suit!

Wouldn’t the unstable hand of the clone keep aging ?🤔

So Amanda Wilder comes and reprogram fail safe from the Government good job Bruce😂😂

just rember that the 3 billion is like 97 billion less than his previous networth even thought its in the trillions in osme continuitys

They deprived us from Winter Soldier Batman / Old Man Bruce / Oracle grandpa. What a let down

Damn batman is his worse enemy. All the new good batman villains have been himself.

Yep…felt rushed…but he got his hand back and (some of) his money back. Can we get Alfred back now? And Wayne manor?

Im impressed that alfred has stayed died this long

That's nice but can Batman be compassionate and empathetic again? Can Psycho Bat God finally die?

This was sweet

Question is will this story run the 10 year.

HE is rich again. Wow.

Hhhhhhh, see when things change they eventually come back to being the same ole same ole.

Would have bin cool if Batman sent the clone to the universe that failsafe sent him to the one where Bruce Wayne died before he became Batman

I'm waiting now Tony Stark to become rich again too 😂

Dammit i liked the robo hand it gave character

5:59 Comics huh? 🤨

Finally

I wanted to keep the bionic hand fam

it would have a been a better story if bruce wayne made his way from rag to riches using business skills rather than stumbling on a hidden fortune

Is he still missing his hand?

Another horrible batman story.

I want this to be a reboot out of the multiverse out of the Omniverse back to one universe I'm hoping that's why they restarted the else worlds so they can get rid of the multiverse it's too confusing and it makes me not want to read the stories because if there's a hundred million Batmans none of the stories count

And you know why they're picking Amanda Waller to be the main big bad guy bill and it's more political correctness crap they're picking a heavy set black woman to be the villain and she's out smart and everybody I used to like Waller a little bit but that's the only reason they're using her to the extreme like that All in the name of getting fans that don't care about thing regular comic book fans are not social justice warriors

Could have used the Lazarus pit.

Why didn't Batman destroy the Failsafe robot. He let Amanda Waller get it. Just like how they leave the Justice League building. Glad he got back his money because I don't find they did anything with the fact that he didn't have his money for a period. He still had tech. They didn't have him struggling for gadgets and vechiles and suits. Just a side point I would like Bruce and Fox have a conversation on the money the Fox have from Bruce to at least agree that Fox will use it to help the people of Gotham out. Because technically Fox kept the funds stolen from Bruce and has made no attempt to give him back his money.

And catwoman now back into his life like she didn’t train criminals to be better turning the bat family against him,played a part in batman being ‘killed’ by failsafe,leaving him on the day of their wedding and yet bruce is the only one who always apologizes. Idk but rn I’m pushing for talia to get some time with bruce too.

Batbro went from more 100 billion down to 3 billion

Wouldn't the hand age too since it's from the clone

Seems to me that since Vandal Savage is immortal, his stem cells likely held a possible cure for the Bruce Clone. They could have done something where he's de-aged back to a toddler which Amanda Waller would kidnap and have him raised by the McGuiness where he would eventually become Batman Beyond.

I wonder if #149 were written in the perspective of “that” Bruce, would it be more compelling, or make the readers feel more empathetic…

I love the thumbnail image

Why do I see Bruce saying "I'm Rich B****!" and I got a new hand.

Damn it I actually liked the prosthetic hand I hoping it would be permanent. The bank account having money again is good not as much as before but awesome regardless.

Just hope the new hand hasn't any problems as for the new Pennyworth Home great name. Alfred Pennyworth is watching over his family but is the new manor bigger than Wynne Manor. Batman builds a new chapter but there's still some lurking shadows from the past. I wonder was there more than one clone or if there's a clone of Batman is there one of The Joker. The clone stories reminds me of the origins of Batman Beyond a certain way of looking at this could also lead to an alternative origin of a future Batman set in 35 century some way down the present story?

Bruce got paid. Now maybe Catwoman will come back to Bruce

With them giving Bruce his money and a mansion back it feels like there gearing up to bring Alfred back to life it wouldn’t even be hard since that Lazarus meteor ☄️ landed in Gotham it gave catwomen 9 lives in her most recent mini series so why not Alfred ? Also vandal savage can’t leave Gotham without dying since the asteroid ☄️ landed in Gotham they could just say that a chunk of the asteroid landed in the Wayne family cemetery and Alfred’s body soaked up the energy or savage brings him back himself and mind controls him as a middle finger to Batman

👎👎

Superman shot? Kryptonite bullets.

Finally Zdarsky's awful stories are saved.

Seems weird for Bruce to go around saying he wants to make amends and help rebuild a real family and do everything he can to help the Zur robin clone but ALSO dedicates basically no time to helping JASON after his contingency plan left his son with a crippling handicap that will shorten his life in short order. You REALLY feel the writers' priorities in this one.

The money can be reconciled they could have increased the amount to the ambiguous amounts Bruce spends on gadgets and JL spots. He bank rolls all of it. The latest cartoon got Jimmy Olson going for broke fast. Sometimes the writers put a character through a beating they have to repair for later abuse a mechanical hand on Batman that is easy to exploit for the next go around with someone else, it clears the deck for them to write without that previous handicap same goes with the aging. My pet peeve is trying to age out fictional characters especially the ones that made these companies. They are more than legacies they bank roll the major sales. False Safe is a necessary character to leave out their, it proved its usefulness to the Rogue Gallery.

Why aren't these stories made into movies? DC keeps repeating the same stories for Batman, and he has the largest library of stories in comics

Finally, what I was waiting for since joker war came out, is here now

How did Batman lose his hand? Was that from when Failsafe first popped up (before Zur-En-Ar took it over), or was it more recent?

Honestly, I think Amanda Waller needs to be put in prison and Rick Flagg take control of task force x

Should’ve just hit the bankruptcy button. 🤷‍♂️ I guess that’s not a superhero option. 🤔

Terry McGinnis was another manufactured double of Batman created by Amanda Waller. Conceived like a cuckoo bird with an IVF procedure in his mother's womb, or a DNA paternal override during natural conception. Recalled details a little murky now. Human lives at stake in both instances! Batman needs to see the situations resolved as well as possible! He launched Batman Beyond! And, I hope the comics take the next generation Batman well enough into the future; to develop whatever fate worthy successor he will have too!

Bout damn time!!

How did he lose his money?

O could skip all this arc and i would not loose one single thing.

So the theif who found out that Bruce is Batman after Gotham war what they going to do with that plot point. And well of course Superman is the hero who gets take out first to start Absolute Power.

Why didn't Batman destroy the Failsafe robot. He let Amanda Waller get it. Just like how they leave the Justice League building. Glad he got back his money because I don't find they did anything with the fact that he didn't have his money for a period. He still had tech.
