Well good thing the majority of this board's Batman bandwagon has since died and moved on to the Watchmen, otherwise this would be huge.Or maybe if any comic reading Batman fan didn't know this since earlier this year, it would be. You think the majority of the "Batman fans" here read comic books? Pffffttt...

Yeah, pretty old news... Or maybe if any comic reading Batman fan didn't know this since earlier this year, it would be. You think the majority of the "Batman fans" here read comic books? Pffffttt... geez, you can't even like anything these days without being called a poser or bandwagon jumper.

I can't make a comparison for you, because your age isn't visible, but if you took a new Batman fan, the same age as me, and asked them how many Wednesdays/Thursdays in the past 23 years they had taken the time out of to visit the comic shop, the number would be significantly different from mine. This is just my view, but we're talking about something I spent my recess time doing (hanging out against the building, reading a stack of comics) since 2nd or 3rd grade. Something that, then, was enough to warrant teasing, bullying, and even violence from the kids who were into sports or something. It's irritating now to see this hobby of mine so socially acceptable, that those same kids are in the comic shop now, and not even looking to get into it, but rather, just looking to reread The Dark Knight as many times as possible.

Please take your swelled cheeks and "133t" gamerscore back into your troll hole. I havent read too much into Batman R.I.P., but that's a great picture right there. This news makes me want to look into it a bit.

It has been a great story (not necessarily "new" news by any means; the arc is "BATMAN: R.I.P" for God-sakes), and I recommend picking up the entire story arc to anyone even semi-interested in Batman. I happen to be a pretty big comic fan (yes, SYE, I visit my LCS every Wednesday as well), but this story has been quite good, even for the casual fan.

I haven't read comics in almost 10 years, but I always had an interest and they always hold a special place in my heart. With that said, deaths in comics are a dime a dozen. The story will go like this: He is killed off, there is a months worth of memorial issues, a group of upstarts team up as a legacy sort of story, it sells well after the first issue, but then tapers off. There is one character that holds on and gets their own book. By then, 6 months has past and it is time for either the return of Bruce Wayne or somebody else as Batman. If it is the former, things are a little odd when he returns with a brand new outfit which fails miserably and they go back to the classic. If it is the latter, the original will eventually come back after a year or two to reclaim his throne......or something like that.

Or they'll just bring him back when they reboot the universe DC desperately needs to reboot their universe. I can't follow any of it any more it's so incredibly complex. I used to camp out on Wed/Thur at the comic book store. I was such a consistent customer that the comic book guy would set aside the books he knew I would buy and other books that he thought I would be interested in. Then my mother nixed the whole comic book idea shortly after the return of Superman and it was 3-4 years before I picked up a comic book again. When I did I couldn't follow anything that was going on. There was a female Robin. Wally West wasn't the Flash any more. The Flash used some sort of "speed force" to run fast. There was a new GL. Hal Jordan was a villian. Every Superman story seemed to be "Superman goes out and beats the crap out of stuff" and had no substance at all. Then there was Marvel's Ultimate *insert character here* where we saw the origin of familiar characters in realistic, modern day settings. It was so much better.

But at the same time, Marvel left their main universe alone, which has also become a confusing clusterf***.

Yeah, but you could ignore the confusing main universe that was impossible to follow and focus on the Ultimate universe which was very easy to follow.

They can always release old stories, and make new ones that tell about his past, but if they keep Batman dead (not release any new comics) for more than two years I will bite off my penis.

This is the last thing that I wanted to hear. I was devastated when Captain America was killed, but now Batman, too? Please say that it ain't so.

I like comics but I live in England so its very hard to follow the stories as we hardly get anything.
The last time I enjoyed comics was when I found a comic store (which is rare) and i bought loads of the Incredible Hulk comics from the Joe Fixit/Las vegas era, those were great.
I dont seems to see Grey Hulk in comics anymore
