Batman #148 out this Tuesday sees Bruce Wayne’s Batman and Zur-En-Arrh’s Failsafe go head to head. Only for a Robin to intervene…

Failsafe was the robot built by Bruce Wayne’s backup personality, Zur-En-Arrh, to take down Batman if he ever went too far and killed someone. Failsafe was triggered by the supposed death of The Penguin at the hands of Batman, but that was just part of the Zur-En-Arrh long game that included Bruce Wayne’s mentor Daniel Capito and fellow mentee, The Joker – all three of him. And now Zur-En-Arrh has extracted himself into the Failsafe robot to act independently and fulfil his mission of being the perfect Batman without the humanity. Built by Batman to be unstoppable, how can Batman defeat himself? And a version of himself who has been planning for this a very long time?

Batman #148 out this Tuesday gives us a clue, even as Bruce Wayne’s Batman and Zur-En-Arrh’s Failsafe go head to head. Because Jason Todd, the Red Hood, intervenes.

And he loses that Red Hood in a blow that is, for want of a better word, fatal.

The death of Jason Todd, again, this time at the hands of Zur-En-Arrh. And while Batman’s back-up personality might be able to equivocate that away for the greater good…
