Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne is a 6-issue[2] American comic book limited series published by DC Comics beginning in May to November 2010,[1][2][3] written by Grant Morrison and featuring a team of rotating artists starting with Chris Sprouse and Frazer Irving.[6]

The series picks up from Final Crisis #6. The series detailed the journey Bruce Wayne takes through the timestream of the DC Universe after being deposited in the distant past by Darkseid in Final Crisis.[7] Wayne has to overcome amnesia and "history itself" in order to make his way back to present-day Gotham City and retake his rightful place as Batman.[1][2] The series ran for six issues, each covering a different time period. The time periods are prehistory, the witch hunts, pirates at sea, the Wild West, 20th-century Gotham City just a few months after Thomas and Martha Wayne were murdered, and the present day, and usually depict the Batcave or Wayne Manor. Bruce Wayne also visits "the end of time".
