Fresh off his return from the dead, Batu the Watcher will be starring in his own comics one-shot as component of Wonder Comic books 2022 event The Reckoning War.
One of the key players in all of this is Batu, The Reckoning War writer Dan Scott tells ENSAAMA. Something concerning this is exceptionally connected to something so essential in the Wonder universe that the Watchers birthed witness to.
The title of The Reckoning Wars Watcher one-shot hasnt been wrapped up, however internally the functioning title is The Trial of the Watcher. If that sounds acquainted, great eye — it coincides title as the 1974-5 Captain Wonder arc in which Batu was prosecuted by his fellow Watchers for breaking their pledge of non-interference numerous times. He was inevitably condemned yet really did not get much in terms of punishment. Exactly how several times has he broken that deal? Well in 2008s Eternal 3, the Thinking Celestial claims Batu has actually damaged the oath over 400 times.
In 2014s Initial Transgression, Nick Fierceness kills Batu the Viewer and is held accountable for his activities by his fellow Earth heroes. In a strange turn of occasions, Fury is cursed to survive on the Moon, watching yet not conflicting as The Unseen.
Batu is resurrected in the 2020s Empire Results: Fantastic Four 1, in response to the information that the Empire events huge negative, the Coat, obtained tools from The First Race.

Fury, still seeking penance for his actions, accepts work as Batus proclaim to further examine these aforementioned tools of The First Race the Coat made use of in Empire, as well as their apparent link to the upcoming The Reckoning War.
[The initial secret battle] is something the Watchers have actually been acutely knowledgeable about it, and also the feasible thought of it occurring again [as The Reckoning War] brought Batu back, says Scott. Perhaps its time for the Watcher to quit viewing and begin doing.
This can all be linked to the short sneak peek of The Reckoning War that Scott included in 2005s She-Hulk 3 – with She-Hulk traveling right into the future to see a section of The Reckoning War.
In that brief moment, she sees a Watcher called Coma (and probably, Batu) soothing a fallen fellow Spectator named Xavi that was passing away due to something connecting to an unnamed opponent.
Its possible the upcoming The Reckoning War: Spectator one-shot could be the story of Batu once more being placed on trial by his fellow Watchers for interference. But offered what Scott says, maybe this time around Batu presses back much more to stop seeing and start doing.
