There is only one word that I would use to describe Batman #5 by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo: Kubrick-like. 

There is only one word that I would use to describe Batman #5 by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo: Kubrick-like. 

Andy Kubert preview art for the Grant Morrison penned “The Return of Bruce Wayne.” Debuting in April 2010, the aptly named Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne finds the character — presumed dead after the events of Final Crisis but actually hurled into the far-flung past — attempting to reclaim his memory and his place in time. “Return is a fairly intricate time-travel story in which the world’s greatest hero, the optimum man, is up against the supreme challenge to his ingenuity and skill,” Morrison tells USA Today. “How does Batman get out of the ultimate trap? It has a mystery and an apocalyptic countdown going on, there are some major twists and reveals, and it sets up big changes to the Batman universe status quo.” The six-issue miniseries, which features a rotating roster of artists beginning with Chris Sprouse and followed (possibly) by Frazer Iriving, opens in the Late-Paleolithic Era and then moves on to 17th-century Gotham Village, and so on. Well, this was going to happen, and I’m sure it’s going to be a fun trip. [via Robot 6].
