Do you think the revelation about Batman in ABS #20 are true? (spoilers, obviously)
That his creation was a decades old plan by Crane and Joker?
Part of me thinks it may actually be true because Martha IS actually part of the court of owls (which I thought was really stupid, by the way, totally ruins the hometown Bruce-grew-up-with-nothing vibe)
But part of me thinks that it will actually turn out to be a pscyhological weapon used by Scarecrow in an attempt to break batman.
The joker is essentailly trying to break Bruce, he's had every opportunity and ability to kill him (the only reason Bane didn't kill Batman instantly was because Joker wouldn't allow it)... so it doesn't really make sense that Joker created bruce as a joke, and yet is trying to break bruce so bruce will join him.
