 Comics Should Be Good: Anatomy of a bad comic book - Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
When Superman and Batman team up, character development is largely unnecessary beyond what occurs in the flow of the narrative, because we can turn to their own books if we want it.
I agree with you that Public Enemies is the best of the three trades so far (sadly enough), and I agree that the Supergirl story was rubbish (like I said - it could have been knocked down to 3 issues easily and combined with half of Public Enemies).
When Batman and Superman fix the timestream, his future is fixed and he is returned to his de-powered "Whatever happened" version.

 Superman/Batman: Public Enemies Review - Silver Bullet Comics

Bane was responsible for breaking Batman's back, forcing Bruce Wayne to give up the Batman persona while he recuperated.

I suppose a lot of it really depends on whether you're a dark Batman fan or a light Batman fan and I suppose Returns might just hold a bit of sentimental value for me, but, all the same, hats off to this, my personal least favourite of the series.
