In the classic DC multiverse, Earth-2 is home to the original Golden Age versions of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, as well as their children. In this world, Batman gets married to Catwoman and ages out of the superhero business, leaving an adult Dick Grayson to carry on the fight. Bruce and Selina’s daughter Helena eventually becomes the Huntr...
There’s probably no more iconic take on the “retired Batman” trope than Frank Miller’s 1986 graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns. In this universe, the heroes of the Justice League are middle-aged and mostly forced into retirement by the US government. But even pushing 60, Bruce can only spend so much time wallowing in alcohol-fueled misery before...
DC made headlines in 1992 by killing off the Man of Steel in the pages of Superman #75. It was inevitable they would apply the same formula to the Batman franchise. 1993’s Knightfall crossover pits Batman against Bane, a villain every bit as cunning and driven as the Dark Knight himself. After systematically wearing down his foe, Bane defeats Batma...
No sooner did Bruce Wayne return to his old job in KnightsEnd than he promptly passed the mantle off to Dick Grayson in Batman: Prodigal. Even as Bruce leaves town in order to find his superhero groove again, Dick gets a crash course in playing Dark Knight and rounds up the villains still on the lam after Bane’s attacks. This story is also notable ...
Batman: The Animated Series tackled its own version of the retired Batman story in one of its final episodes. In “Chemistry” Bruce becomes so infatuated with a woman named Susan Maguire that he proposes to her and gives up his nighttime antics. Is love really a force powerful enough to drown out Bruce’s obsessive need to punch criminals? No, of cou...
The animated series Batman Beyond offers one of the most chilling accounts of what happens when Bruce Wayne grows too old to be Batman. The series premiere reveals what happens decades after the events of Batman: The Animated Series. Even with the help of a high-tech new suit, Bruce calls it quits when his heart begins failing and he finds himself ...
DC did the unthinkable in 2008’s Final Crisis, with Batman losing his life in a standoff with the almighty Darkseid. Though by the end of the series, it became clear that Bruce wasn’t dead, but merely blasted backward in time by Darkseid’s Omega Sanction. Still, as far as anyone in the Justice League knew, he was dead and gone. That twist sparked a...
Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy showcases Batman at the beginning, the peak and the twilight of his costumed career. 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises takes a few cues from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns and the Knightfall crossover. Bruce has given up being Batman and becomes a recluse following his hollow victory at the end of 2008’s T...
Final Crisis writer Grant Morrison famously said that every Batman writer should give the Caped Crusader both a birth and a death before their work is complete. For New 52 Batman writer Scott Snyder, that death came in 2014’s Batman: Endgame, which culminates with Batman and Joker dying in each other’s arms deep underground. Rather than have Dick G...
Batman ‘66 Meets Wonder Woman ‘77 not only gives us the superhero TV crossover we always dreamed of, it also reveals what happens to West’s Batman after his series was canceled. It turns out even this happy-go-lucky Caped Crusader eventually hit a rough patch. As a middle-aged Bruce meets Diana Prince in 1977, he reflects back on his final failure ...
