Batman is... Spoilers Below

Spoiler Alert

Batman is dead.

So - I guess we should start betting on how long it takes for him to come back? I guess we should start listing the many ways in which he avoided death and was placed in a suspended animation at the bottom of the Hudson River. Or that it wasn't even Bruce Wayne - it was a clone of Bruce Wayne.

I guess I am a little jaded toward these stories, as it seems that everyone has to die for a period of time.

Batman is dead - couldn't they have come up with something better than that.

I thought this stopped being news a couple of months ago. Personally Grant Morrison has done little of note since jumping back to DC after falling out with Marvel several years back.

When he's on, he's a genius. When he's off, he's a mess.

On the other hand, Captain America has been dead for a couple of years now. Do I expect Steve Rogers to be resurrected again? Sure. Am I enjoying the ride. Yes.

That's very similar to how many movies work. You already know how it's going to end, the trick is how they get you there.

BTW, I want $20 on 1 year.

Any thoughts/predictions on who will be wearing the bat cowl in the interim?

I quit reading Batman years ago and quit reading Final Crisis with the 2nd issue (or was it the 3rd?).
