The death of Batman??!

No, he's not really dead. It's time for a change....the comics are classic for this, just like soap operas. They re-tell the old stories....I think there's a reason why I'm so attracted to both media. Anyway, I personally love the opportunities this presents to tell stories....retrospectives. They are planning to have a number of prominent comic book writers contribute to the next couple of story arcs before they, potentially, revisit the "death" of Bruce Wayne.

This approach to comic book chronology is not uncommon. This is a similar tact that was taken following the death of Superman. A battle ensues and Nightwing, Robin, and a couple of others connected to Batman make the case of taking over the thone. Both Nightwing and Robin comics will go on hiatus during the retrospectives and following issues.

I can't wait for this to come out in a graphic novel....can you say Merry Christmas??!
