Like the title says, Bruce Wayne as an Arashikage trainee.

Cool. I like that head for unmasked Bruce.

That is one really cool idea and a freaking nice custom.

What a cool idea!

Another great addition to the Universe Asunder/Batman family!

Neat, I dig the backstory.

Top notch, Jimbo.

You know, I think I've come to appreciate your universe so much that this makes total sense. Why wouldn't a young Bruce be part of the Arashikage clan? Great work.

Mind y'all, I don't see Bruce as being too deeply involved with the Clan. He knows SE is with the Joes and SS is with COBRA, but they don't know he's Batman (altho if I ever do a story with them meeting in uniform I'll have to toss in something with them having suspicions based on his moves). He wasn't really noticed by SE & SS during the Hard Master events as he was a 'freshman' at the time.

I don't like crossovers where everybody's gotta be tightly wound and intimate with one another. Sometimes a crossover just means you were there as a witness, more or less.

And thanks, gents. I did this same idea a while back with markedly lamer parts and thought it needed a re-do, especially now that I've settled on my Bruce head.

Now here's to hoping they do a 25A Jinx so I can do an Elektra-as-trainee fig!

AV, very nice take on the character. You have a gift for backstories. Always exciting to see what new takes on the already established universes. Can't wait to see more!
