Batman is going to die! I can’t believe it… Batman is going to be killed by his father — who we all thought died. “In a highly controversial new storyline Bruce, who first appeared in 1939, is killed by Simon Hurt – the leader of the shady Black Glove organization. Simon claims he is really Dr Thomas Wayne, saying he faked his own passing when Bruce was a child. The superhero dies when he tries to stop his foe escaping by helicopter in the new comic Batman R.I.P.”
Writer Grant Morrison said: “This is so much better than death. People have killed characters in the past but to me, that kind of ends the story! I like to keep the story twisting and turning. So what I am doing is a fate worse than death. Things that no one would expect to happen to these guys at all. This is the end of Bruce Wayne as Batman.“
For those of you who happen to be crazy Batman fans, don’t stress… “Batman will love on though, with another character filling his Batsuit. Two likely contenders are Dick Grayson - the original Robin - or current boy wonder, Tim Drake.” I’m still dealing with the shock of Heath Ledger… so the change in the comics won’t sent in for much longer.
