Morrison Talks "Batman, R.I.P." Posted by:Jett Thursday, April 17, 2008, 8:59 AM Grant Morrison, in his interview with COMIC BOOK RESOURCES, says the following about the upcoming story arc, "Batman, R.I.P.":
"So I came to [Executive Editor] Dan DiDio...and said, ’Okay. I am going to work towards this big storyline called ‘Batman R.I.P.’’ And he said, ‘Okay. Go for it. But it just can’t be ‘R.I.P.’ and nothing happens, we have to do something with him.’ So he encouraged me to take it more literally and that’s where it has ended up. This is the end of Bruce Wayne as Batman.”
WTF!
I swear, if they kill off Bruce Wayne and/or they put someone else in the cape and cowl, I'm done with comics again!
