But one thing is for sure: this time, the breaking of a back means the fight is just getting started - and Bane doesn't know what he's in for. That doesn't exactly inspire confidence for this 'Rebirth' rematch, and unsurprisingly, history repeats itself fairly quickly. The last time the hulking villain known as 'Bane' came face-to-face with Batman, he put the Dark Knight's spine out of commission for months. This week's release of 'Batman' #10 brings yet another classic character back into the world of the DC Rebirth - and almost certainly spells disaster for the Dark Knight. He's got a brand new sidekick in his solo book, the loss of another Robin to deal with in 'Detective Comics', and even the return of his very first supervillain in DC's first crossover event.

Even so, there's a good chance that Batman is getting a serious dose of déjà vu already, thanks to the storylines cooked up for 'Batman: Rebirth'. It's a good thing that comic book superheroes aren't actually aware of the many reboots, relaunches, or retconnings that are now commonplace in the industry.
