R.I.P. Batman: Comic Declares 'Death' of Bruce Wayne

Man, it's not a good time to be a super hero. Last year, they killed Captain America and Martian Manhunter, now they're going after the Caped Crusader. 

Is this going to be like when they 'killed off' Superman and them brought him back after a couple of months?  Sounds like a slightly desperate bid to increase sales.

The "fate worse than death" comment creates anticipation  but could also end up being a corny attempt to increase interest that backfires.

There is NO WAY on earth (or any of the 52 for that matter) that Bruce Wayne will die or stop being Batman permanently. They're spent so much time developing this character that the only reasonable way to remove him would be to kill him. But they won't. So they might make him Quit. But he isn't ( a quitter). So where are they going, and can I be bothered to find out? We'll see.

The moral of the story is The Dark Knight made too much money in the cinema for DC to just end that character.

Even when they crippled him and he had to pass the title of Batman to Azriel or whoever that was, but lo and behold, Bruce Wayne got his walk back on, and now he's Batman (the world greatest detective). Are the writers smart enough to come up with a plan that would kill or incapacitate him? I'm going to say HELL NO! I don't care if they kill him and make someone else Batman, but just don't do it for 6months so that you can launch 5 new books and they bring him back from the dead. That would suck the ass of a large fatty fat fat.

I Have a good Idea, Dick Grayson Becomes the new Batman, and Bruce Wayne becomes the New Spectre, Just Imagine We need a New Spectre just like Jim Corrigan killing the sinners once for all...

and Jason Todd.. uuh... still Red hood

Not to mention that Frank Miller had established a pretty solid canon for the future of Batman with Dark Knight Returns. So I don't anticipate that Grant would fly in the face of the finest Batman story ever told.

This will be interesting, to say the least.

Great Ceasar's Ghost! I can't believe they're dropping Bruce! Bob Kane weeps in the afterlife! I have to admit it will be interesting to see how Morrison attempts to "out" Bruce of the Batman mantle, but g.d, it just won't be the same. Like the Muppets after poor ol' Jim Henson died.

how can huh!! batman will die next story.I will sad about that, you know batman is my best friend forever,but how can  batman die,I will hate super hero because always death,you can't so easyli batman die.all people fans of batman will sad,because batman die, the problem is why batman must die ? maybe bruce wayne can play again in batman or because the car is destroyed?and now use a motorcycle?or time contracted is finished but if bruce can play again in batman don't say batman die!! if batman replace with robin hood/night wing I will not watch batman again!! or all super hero, you know was I little m,y first film is batman.Batman is like a bright to me he give a spirit to me. but I want to producer just try to chance the story batman not die and christian bale can play again.

THANKS

The fact that you attempted to kill off The Batman, who isn't your character, is just wrong. The only man who has the right to kill off Bruce Wayne is Bob Kane.

Do what you wish with the character. But your little comic book will not affect my views on the Caped Crusader. He's not dead. He'll never die. Screw you. Batman lives.

Bruce Wayne dead...Nahhhhhhhhhh !!!!  He will return soon.

BRUCE WAYNE is BATMAN

and BATMAN is BRUCE WAYNE

no one can change that fact...

GOTHAM needs BATMAN..

GOTHAM needs a BRUCE WAYNE

Well guys I could be wrong but in the prologue to Blackest Night I think it tells us Bruce Wayne is dead... does anyone know how this happened?

I think he was hit by darkseides displacement ray thing. Nightwing is nomore he is the Bat. Tim is Red Robin and the new Robin is Bruces illigetment son Rahj Al Guals grandson which changes the roles of the dark and cheerful between bats and the boy wonder at least theat is what i have gathered
