WHAT!? Did you guys know DC killed off Batman?!

I guess I was out of the loop for awhile, but I just found out DC killed Bruce Wayne/Batman!

Anyway, you know DC won't leave him dead for long...I think. But what's up with comics lately? Spider-man reveals his secret identity to the world, Captain America gets killed, and now Batman?

Well, Marvel and DC have remakes like the Ultimate line and DC All-Stars, which I haven't been following for awhile. But I wonder what fans are saying about this. Either Marvel and DC are desperate for more sales or they're just going crazy.

Do you guys think this is good or bad for comics, messing around with these icons?

Interesting timing, with with Dark Knight being such a huge success and all...JustPlainLucas

I haven't read the story arc yet, but I'm going to when it comes out in Graphic Novel format this Spring. I heard he's not really dead. The storyline is called Batman R.I.P., by the way.omfg_its_dally

Dark Knight takes place right after Batman's inception.

Which means you could have about 15 years of movies before Christian Bale's Batman catches up to the DC comics Batman.

Isn't there like a billion different scenarios anyways? As they say, take place in different universes or something SouL-Tak3R

That's generally the time of life in which villains are born.
