#I really want to blame the microchip on the alternate persona or the mental breakdown

[cursedcommutethoughts]

I really need someone to fill me in with what happened after the Gotham War thing and Bruce's little breakdown. I was lurking, and saw flashes of what was going on, and then it stopped. Not dissimilar to a fever dream. Here is my current impression of what is going on based on what random panels go across my various dashes.

Bruce had an alternate persona that took over occasionally and took over and was a raging dick to all of Bruce's loved ones. During this time Jason got a microchip in his brain. It is unclear which Bruce did this, so I'm just saying he did that while in the midst of a psychotic break. Alternate persona got downloaded into a robot, Bruce fought it, and that batfamily... did the batfamily help? And I think Joker and Jason are working together in an event called the Joker war? Anyways, I think the robot escapes? And I have no idea what the state of the batfamily is, and who's talking to who currently. Or where the whole people turning into animals thing lies in continuity. I have questions. Is Nightwing talking to Bruce? Have Bruce and Jason talked? Where is Jason? Did Bruce keep custody of Damien?

I know I would have answers if I followed the comics more closely, but I still like Batman and I believe that if I kept up with comics, that would quickly change.
