Narrative:
We received multiply ECAM warnings: throttle asymmetry; navigation air data computer altitude descrepency; fuel transfer unavailable; IAS unreliable; [and] anti ice captains tat. In addition; we were unable to access any synoptic page from the menu. On landing; both engines [were] confirmed in reverse. The number 2 engine came out of reverse uncommanded. At around 1;000 feet the fore mentioned items started failing. We climbed to a safe altitude of 12;000 feet. Then began vectoring for holding. I gave the aircraft to the copilot and told him to keep us flying safe. I contacted [dispatch and maintenance]. We discuss the numerous problems. We all reached the same decision to return to ZZZ. The dispatcher issued the [new release] and we returned to ZZZ. The landing weight was under max. We all worked well together as a team to a safe uneventful divert. My decision had already been made. My copilot and I had already determined after discussing several options to return to ZZZ. However; if the situation had changed and safety of flight became apparent; we would [advise ATC] and land as soon as possible. The aircraft handled normal in-flight except for the bells. [The] landing was the surprise with number 2 engine. I would like to commend all three ATC facilities in ZZZ tower; approach and center. They made this situation seamless for us with the vectoring and landing runway. They also kept asking us if the aircraft was safe and if we needed anything.
