One of the more fun threads that has been woven throughout the current run of Batman has been the return of Vandal Savage. While the Caped Crusader has had his hands full dealing with threats as varied as Failsafe, the Joker, Insomnia (remember him?) and Catwoman, Savage has been making big swings.
First he bought Wayne Manor out from under the increasingly cash-strapped Bruce, then he tried to bring immortality to the people of Gotham (well, some of them at least) in the Gotham War. He was defeated at the last second, but like many a rich idiot before him, Savage has only fallen upwards.
