Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })When the New 52 started, Batman was relaunched with the creative team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. However, after five years, they decided to do something a bit different; so while Snyder wrote All-Star Batman, he handed off the reigns of the new DC Rebirth Batman to Tom King (Grayson, The Vision, Omega Men). The series is biweekly, with the rotating art team of David Finch (New Avengers, Forever Evil) and Mikel Janin (Grayson, Justice League Dark), with occasional guest artists.King's run is an examination of Bruce Wayne's psyche and what being Batman means to him, and how this is challenged as he comes under attack from all sides as a shadowy villain works to destroy him. Also heavily featured is Batman's relationship with Catwoman, which is similarly examined from numerous angles as the two restart their relationship on a more serious note.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })King's run has been notable for keeping the same dark, noir tone of Snyder's run while also bringing back a lot of the sillier villains of the Silver and Bronze Ages like Doctor Double X, Colonel Blimp and Kite Man. Though at the same time the run goes a step further than Snyder's run by removing Batman's more upbeat and quippy demeanor that came with his "rebirth" after Batman: Endgame.After 85 or so issues, King's run on the title ended, 15 issues earlier than planned. Instead, he launched a Batman/Catwoman series alongside artist Clay Mann to continue his story. (Think of it as a splinter timeline scenario.)As for the main Batman book, James Tynion IV (whose had experience with the Caped Crusader) took over as the new writer starting with issue 85's epilogue. Find the page for that run here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Bane defeats pretty much every heavy hitter in Batman's Rogues gallery currently imprisoned in Arkham, including such foes as Solomon Grundy and Copperhead, for the sake of finding Batman. Selina somehow beats Talia al Ghul in a sword fight despite not being anywhere near as skilled with blades. Flashpoint Thomas Wayne somehow beats half the Batfamily, including Cassandra Cain, Kate Kane and Helena Bertinelli, while injured at that. | |

Title Drop | |
Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: They often have double meanings, too. The first arc, "I Am Gotham," is stated by the character of Gotham in issue #1 and then again by Batman in issue #5 as he tries to get Gotham (who has gone insane) to kill him instead of the city. The second arc, "I Am Suicide," seems to reference the Suicide Squad, but is instead dropped by Batman about a suicide attempt he made before making his vow to fight crime. When Bane is fighting Batman in a Curb-Stomp Battle, he rants that he's not just another of Batman's villains who gets locked up in Arkham, and yells "I am Bane", the title of the arc. | |

In a twist of Bruce's oath to fight crime in the name of his late parents, Thomas swore to his son that he will war against anything he thinks causes Bruce pain. And after experiencing all the pain and misery of being Batman in his own universe, Thomas resolves to include Bruce's life as Batman among the things that would hurt his son, thus joining Bane as one half of the run's Big Bad Duumvirate. | |

Crapsack World | |
Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: The alternate timeline created by Booster Gold in "The Gift". To wit, Gotham is a borderline war zone overrun by Jokers who murder people and commit other crimes on a regular basis; staying inside the city apparently causes people to become "Jokered"; all of Eurasia is ruled by Ra's al Ghul with Talia set to inherit control; Damian was never born; Tim is an IT drone at an unspecified company with a severe lack of empathy; the Penguin is president; Dick is the Batman of the world, one who regularly uses murder as solution and actively makes use of both guns and grenades, no less; Jason is a tire salesman who can apparently get away with selling special tires that taze people to death if they try to steal them; Duke was lobotimized; the Joker epidemic is apparently a scheme by the al Ghuls to rule over the entire world; and Hal Jordan kills himself on the first page. Literally the only people happy are Thomas and Martha Wayne, who are alive and well (that is, until they die the next issue, anyway), who still hate the state of the world, and Bruce, who is a complete and total Rich Bitch whose response to Booster telling him that everything is technically not real is to break Skeets with a fire poker and have Alfred throw Booster out. As for Selina Kyle, she's a psychotic Serial Killer capable of only saying "meow" who Booster breaks out of Arkham to help him, and she later murders both Thomas Wayne and Alfred. Oh, and the entire Justice League died off-panel fighting Starro. By the time of "City of Bane", the main timeline's Gotham City has become one of these. Bane, of course, is in complete control of the city, thanks to Psycho-Pirate, and has an army of supervillains (including the Joker, Riddler and Two-Face) working as his police force. Gotham Girl both keeps an eye on the city and attacks any superheroes trying to intervene, even as the President agrees to wall the city off and hand absolute power to Bane. And the Batman of the city is Flashpoint Thomas Wayne, who uses lethal force and, like everyone else, takes orders from Bane. | |

Aborted Arc | |
Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Gotham Girl's past tense narration in the first arc gave the idea that Batman "dies" in this run. We just don't know how or why, and whether it's a literal death or not. King plays with expectations regarding this quite a bit, but it never came to pass in any way — the only way it could apply is if she were referring to Thomas, because it's unclear if he died or not in the end. However, a story written by King for Detective Comics #1027 called "Legacy" had Batman contracting and dying from cancer after saving Doctor Phosphorus. So maybe it's that? Similarly, said narration says she and Duke Thomas end up married. There isn't even an inkling of romance between the two throughout the entire run, and Duke himself barely appears past the third arc and certainly doesn't talk to Gotham Girl. | |

Even when he's sure it's completely clean, a part of him still sees a smudge of blood. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Loads. In Batman #1, Hugo Strange first makes an appearance saying "Observe the clock, Batman," exactly like his first appearance in Detective Comics #36. In Batman #4, Gotham tries to prevent a suicide that's extremely similar to a scene in All-Star Superman. Except instead of it working out, the person still commits suicide by blowing themselves up. In Batman #6, Colonel Blimp says to Gotham City, "I have your submarine! Again!" This is in reference to Batman #352, where Colonel Blimp first steals Gotham City's submarine. In Batman #9, Batman is talking to a masked prisoner in Arkham and says, "I have been thinking lately. About you and me." Which is dialogue identical to his conversation with the Joker in The Killing Joke, leading the readers to believe he is talking to the Joker. He isn't: it's actually Catwoman. In Batman #14 Magpie briefly shows up, resembling her Beware the Batman incarnation. In the same issue, Batman and Catwoman argue over the circumstances of their first meeting. Batman recalls Catwoman dressed as an old lady and trying to steal jewels, the original Golden Age version, while Catwoman recalls Bruce getting his ass kicked by some thugs trying to protect Holly Robinson, the "Year One" version. In Batman #26 has a line-for-line rendition of Joker's Rage Against the Reflection scene from Tim Burton's Film/Batman. But instead of the Joker it's the Riddler. Batman says that he'll have to "kick a lot of trees" to work off a corndog. This is a reference to one of his preferred methods of exercising that appears in King's run, that is itself a reference to "Year One". Batman #40 has Wonder Woman reference her pet kangaroo Kanga. This is a real character that hasn't been referenced in literal decades. At one point, Bruce tells Alfred to get him his first Batman suit. It's notably not the "Zero Year" suit — it's the "Year One" suit. In Batman #86, the Riddler's lair is behind a video billboard with the slogan "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?" This was the title of his introductory episode of Batman: The Animated Series. | |

Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_2c628d38 | comment |
Worf Had the Flu: During Bane's beatdown of the Arkham inmates described above, Mr. Freeze was without his suit of Powered Armor, making his defeat much easier. In issue #28, Batman singlehandedly defeats both Deathstroke and Deadshot in hand-to-hand combat. He was also a relative rookie at the time, since the issue is a flashback. Usually, taking on just one of those mercenaries would be at least a small challenge for him, even as an experienced vigilante. However, at that particular point both Deathstroke and Deadshot had been fighting each other almost non-stop for five days, and were therefore not in prime condition. | |

Brainwashed: As it turns out, the Psycho-Pirate's figured out how to induce this on behalf of the Big Bad. He can implant emotions in people: if he implants love for the Big Bad and the regime he controls, anyone affected becomes utterly loyal. We see it done to Two-Face on-panel, but by "City of Bane" it's also been done to Batman's entire rogues' gallery. And by Issue #83, he's done it to the Bat-Family and Catwoman too. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The entire Rebirth one-shot can very easily be viewed as a commentary on the cyclical nature of comic book relaunches, and by extension Batman comic tropes. When Batman visits Arkham Asylum, Saturn Girl breaths onto her glass and draws the Legion of Super-Heroes' symbol. The closest dialogue balloon has Jeremiah Arkham say "who's taking on that burden?". This issue was released after the possible Legion writers, a list on which Tom King is included, were revealed. Issue #44 basically has Batman point out to Catwoman that their personalities keep changing and wonder if their marriage will last. Half of the issue is flashbacks to famous Batman and Catwoman moments in comics history, stretching back to the Golden Age with Selina's first appearance. | |

What Measure Is a Mook? | |
Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_52b36340 | comment |
What Measure Is a Mook?: The Central Theme of The War of Jokes and Riddles. In issue #26, Pamela Isley kills a bunch of anonymous hitmen for Carmine Falcone. Batman details the names and motives for each of them: one was an undercover cop, another rejoined Falcone because his mother had cancer and he needed the money, one left behind a wife and children, and so on. After the Joker kills more mooks, Batman ID's them and notes one was a high school football player, another was a single father, and yet another was an annual Santa at his church festival. It's further deconstructed in issue #42, in which Ivy tells Selina about this event. She admits she doesn't really know why she did it - whether it was because she was afraid of Joker and Riddler or simply wanted to show off - and it's used as an example of how she hasn't been as in control of herself as she thought for some time now. | |

Big Brother Is Watching | |
Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_5da3f522 | comment |
By the time of "City of Bane", the main timeline's Gotham City has become one of these. Bane, of course, is in complete control of the city, thanks to Psycho-Pirate, and has an army of supervillains (including the Joker, Riddler and Two-Face) working as his police force. Gotham Girl both keeps an eye on the city and attacks any superheroes trying to intervene, even as the President agrees to wall the city off and hand absolute power to Bane. And the Batman of the city is Flashpoint Thomas Wayne, who uses lethal force and, like everyone else, takes orders from Bane. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Batman almost makes one in the very first issue, but is saved from doing so by Gotham and Gotham Girl. Then, in Batman #5, he tries to sacrifice himself again to stop Gotham, but is saved again by Gotham Girl. The series brings up the idea that Batman actively wants to die pulling one of these, in order to make his parents proud of him. He gets over it eventually. | |

Rich Bitch | |
Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_644eca71 | comment |
The alternate timeline created by Booster Gold in "The Gift". To wit, Gotham is a borderline war zone overrun by Jokers who murder people and commit other crimes on a regular basis; staying inside the city apparently causes people to become "Jokered"; all of Eurasia is ruled by Ra's al Ghul with Talia set to inherit control; Damian was never born; Tim is an IT drone at an unspecified company with a severe lack of empathy; the Penguin is president; Dick is the Batman of the world, one who regularly uses murder as solution and actively makes use of both guns and grenades, no less; Jason is a tire salesman who can apparently get away with selling special tires that taze people to death if they try to steal them; Duke was lobotimized; the Joker epidemic is apparently a scheme by the al Ghuls to rule over the entire world; and Hal Jordan kills himself on the first page. Literally the only people happy are Thomas and Martha Wayne, who are alive and well (that is, until they die the next issue, anyway), who still hate the state of the world, and Bruce, who is a complete and total Rich Bitch whose response to Booster telling him that everything is technically not real is to break Skeets with a fire poker and have Alfred throw Booster out. As for Selina Kyle, she's a psychotic Serial Killer capable of only saying "meow" who Booster breaks out of Arkham to help him, and she later murders both Thomas Wayne and Alfred. Oh, and the entire Justice League died off-panel fighting Starro. | |

In Batman #2, when Batman pulls a Stealth Hi/Bye on Gotham and Gotham Girl and they say that that's impossible, Commissioner Gordon says, "It not impossible, kid. It's Batman." In Batman #13, Catwoman says nearly the same thing when Bronze Tiger says it's impossible that Batman just walked into Santa Prisca and walked out with the Psycho Pirate: "It's not impossible. It's Batman." And then during Batman #19, as Bane invades Arkham, he flips it by saying "Not impossible. Bane." | |

"Rashomon"-Style | |
Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_7bb1296b | comment |
"Rashomon"-Style: The recurring "It was on a boat"/"It was on the street" argument that Batman and Catwoman have over how they first met. Bruce's account references the original telling in 1940's Batman #1, while Selina's references the version from Batman: Year One. The story eventually clarifies that they both remember both events, they just disagree about which one "counts"; Bruce thinks of their very first meeting, before the costumes, but to Selina, they didn't really meet until they met as the Cat and the Bat. Eventually, they reconcile the difference after talking on a beach, when they've come to terms with the idea that Selina Kyle and Catwoman have finally "met" Bruce Wayne and Batman. | |

Dating Catwoman: Literally the entire story of "Rooftops" is a "date night" between Batman and Catwoman. It's also a complete breakdown of their relationship; namely, how Batman and Catwoman want to stay with each other, but can't commit to each other because of their masked activities. Their relationship actually ends up being the emotional core of Tom King's entire run. | |

Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_8b67aba7 | comment |
Cerebus Retcon: Kite Man! Hell yeah! Originally an extremely goofy Silver Age villain with kites as his gimmick, the "War of Jokes and Riddles" arc introduces us to his new origin. Charles Brown is seen as a joke by everyone except his son, who Charles bonds with by flying kites together. During the war Charles is manipulated as an informant by both sides and Batman which leads to Riddler poisoning his son's kite string, leading to his death. This breaks Charles, who adopts the Kite Man identity as a reminder of his son along with some Death Seeker qualities. He is permanently seen as a joke because of his theme but does his best with it. And his catchphrase? His son would say it when excited, like when flying kites. Charles admonished him, telling his if he said "hell" he will go to hell. On his son's deathbed, his son asks him if its true and before Charles can tell him it is not, his son dies. Kite Man adopted it as his own catchphrase. | |

Big Bad Duumvirate | |
Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_978a82e6 | comment |
The reason for Thomas Wayne warring against his son. In a twist of Bruce's oath to fight crime in the name of his late parents, Thomas swore to his son that he will war against anything he thinks causes Bruce pain. And after experiencing all the pain and misery of being Batman in his own universe, Thomas resolves to include Bruce's life as Batman among the things that would hurt his son, thus joining Bane as one half of the run's Big Bad Duumvirate. | |

Evil Counterpart | |
Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: Bane's backstory is depicted as a dark reflection of Bruce's, with the deaths of their mothers being their common connection, before their different upbringings cause them to diverge. Flashpoint Thomas Wayne has become one to the original Thomas Wayne, becoming obsessed with making Bruce stop being Batman so they can have a normal life again, and since Bruce refuses, and Thomas' judgement is so skewed due to his own traumatic experiences may or may not be being manipulated to do this by Dr. Manhattan, he decides to force him to by teaming up with Bane to plot against him and resurrect his alternate wife and have Bruce broken down so much that he'd quit so they could be a family and rule Gotham, something his prime counterpart would never have done. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: In the first issue, Batman attempts to pull off a Heroic Sacrifice and asks Alfred if his parents would've been proud of the man he had become. Alfred confirms that they would have. Unfortunately, Flashpoint Thomas Wayne is absolutely not proud of Bruce being Batman and the final quarter of King's run has him do everything in his power to encourage Bruce to hang up the cape. The sparring match between Bane and Thomas Wayne Batman ends when the latter pulls a gun on him. The final fight between Bane and Batman ends when Tom shows up and shoots Bane dead (seemingly). "Alright, Cat. Break him." Catwoman choking the villain out with her whip after that line happens in "I Am Suicide" with Bane, and then in the finale with Thomas Wayne. | |

Upon hearing the killer brag about the murder, Swamp Thing suddenly goes berserk and gruesomely kills him. Afterwards, he goes through a complete Heroic BSoD and flees as Batman furiously berates him for his actions. | |

Face–Heel Turn | |
Batman (Rebirth) (Comic Book) / int_af3ea0e3 | comment |
Face–Heel Turn: Flashpoint Thomas Wayne, who somehow survived his timeline's destruction at the end of The Button and ended up in the prime DC Universe, and is displeased when he finds out Bruce did not honor his Dying Wish to retire as Batman, and thus decides to force his son to stop, and does so by teaming up with Bane, a ruthless supervillain who seeks to kill him and rule his city. It's obvious Thomas is a far cry from when we last saw him as he has abandoned any goodwill he'd had in Flashpoint as an opportunity to have his family back is presented, and goes to dubious to outright villainous lengths to make it happen, including letting Bane break Bruce's back a third time, murder Alfred, his own butler/family friend, beating his own grandchildren down, and dragging his son out into the desert to find a hidden Lazurus Pit to resurrect this universe's Martha Wayne, and when Bruce reveals he'd moved her body to ensure this didn't happen, decides to subplant Bane's scheme to rule Gotham and letting Bruce see Alfred's corpse in a last deranged attempt to convince him to stop. Bruce once more refuses, knowing his father is gone. | |

Continuity Snarl: This series portrays Batman as always having his Rebirth Batsuit since the very beginning. This is in spite of the fact that this suit was only introduced during the "Superheavy" arc in Scott Snyder's New 52 run. Retconned again at the end of "Cold Days" when Batman goes back to his "original" suit: the one from Batman: Year One. The War of Jokes and Riddles shows Joker, Riddler, Catwoman, Penguin, Ventriloquist, Mr. Zsasz, Deadshot, Deathstroke, Poison Ivy, Firefly, Mr. Freeze, Solomon Grundy, Man-Bat, Clayface, Cluemaster, Two-Face, Killer Croc, Kite Man, Tweedledee & Tweedledum, Mad Hatter and Scarecrow as not only being active during Bruce's 2nd year as Batman but being villains he's already encountered multiple times already before the story begins. This is especially egregious in the case of Deathstroke who wasn't even considered a Batman villain until fairly recently. | |

Namely, Batman broke his Thou Shalt Not Kill rule by attempting to murder the Riddler before the Joker stopped him, proving that the only difference between him and the criminals he puts in jail was the Joker defining who he was. | |

Issue #44 basically has Batman point out to Catwoman that their personalities keep changing and wonder if their marriage will last. Half of the issue is flashbacks to famous Batman and Catwoman moments in comics history, stretching back to the Golden Age with Selina's first appearance. | |

Death Seeker: The run establishes in "I am Suicide" that this is part of Bruce's reason for being Batman — that he couldn't bring himself to suicide, and instead acts as Batman to help the world while hoping to receive a "good death" that will honour his parents. He moves past it during the conclusion of "I am Bane", when he talks to a hallucination of Martha Wayne. Flashpoint Thomas Wayne, acting as a foil to Bruce, is also this. Except he never outgrows it and is a self-destructive, jaded Batman who is old and alone and, by the end of Tom King's run, possibly dead. | |
