Holy handgrenades, Batman! You're dead! And not in the metaphorical sense. Bruce Wayne has apparently been killed off in the latest issue of Batman (aptly titled Batman R.I.P). There is a bit of major spoilage ahead so, if you'd rather not know, you might want to sit this one out. Grant Morrison revealed earlier this year that Bruce Wayne would either retire or be killed in a clash with the crime syndicate Black Glove. Batman R.I.P sees Batman shot by villain Simon Hurt, who claims to be Wayne's father Dr Thomas Wayne. Apparently there are a lot more twists and turns to come before the story is finally resolved. Nonetheless, it would appear that Batman (in comic book form at least) may have breathed his last. Batman R.I.P. will then be followed (apparently) by a two-part story by Neil Gaiman called Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? I do remember Neil saying he was working on a Batman comic at his signing a few weeks ago, so I am WELL excited about this.
What's with all the death on this blog lately? I promise my next post will be cheerful, even if I have to lie through my teeth.
