It's Jezebel. Wasn't that obvious?

Those proclaiming they don't care obviously do, or they wouldn't have bothered to come here to comment.

Either that, or they are attention whores.

Two words : Brane Taylor. He's the Batman of the 31st Century. This is Grant we're talking about. Either he's the bad guy or the new Batman. or the old dead Batman. Dick Grayson will wonder if he's good enough, Tim Drake's aunt will be killed by Kite-Man. Jason Todd will gay-marry Owlman and they'll all go to heaven in a little row-boat. I don't read Batman, so I don't care.

Batman won't die but his methods will. He will do away with his one rule. He's learned that the only way to fight the evil that he faces is to match its level of violence.

Either that or I'm on board with the Spinal Tap comment.

"Also, it was looking for a little while before Infinite Crisis like John Corben was the Waynesâ€™ killer, " No it wasn't - Loeb set that up in the first issue of Superman / Batman and dismissed it about four issues later. It was never presented as anything more than an (obvious) red herring. "Thereâ€™s a whole lot of junk thatâ€™s been quietly forgotten about, but not all that much â€œThis didnâ€™t happen, no wait, yes it didâ€" Well, Jason's origin changing, Batwoman and the original Batgirl vanishing, Ace... there's a lot of stuff that was straight-up retconned, even if it wasn't as obvious as with Man of Steel. Batman *himself* hasn't been, granted, but just about everything around him with maybe the exception of Dick Grayson has at one point or another.

Also, it was looking for a little while before Infinite Crisis like John Corben was the Waynes' killer, which would have been -- I'm looking for a kind word here...uh...erm..."gifted".

This is true, but I took Morrison's comment to mean that even all that wacky Earth-2 crap and whatnot happened to "our" Earth-Prime Bruce...and I wouldn't put it past him to think that, because, well, he's proven to be a little bit special before. Remember his origin for Doctor Doom?

Not really, Kevin. Batman's continuity has never been "rebooted" the way Superman's has. Other than the Joe Chill thing, there hasn't been that many straight-up retcons in Bat-History. There's a whole lot of junk that's been quietly forgotten about, but not all that much "This didn't happen, no wait, yes it did"

Morrison's rationale is ludicrous because at least 90% of that stuff that would "mess him up" so badly is extremely contradictory. It'd be like if Johns suddenly decided Superman can still shoot miniature, evil versions of himself out of his fingers, and that Ma and Pa's names were Sarah and Eben as well as Martha and Jonathan. Also, is Lori Lemaris still in continuity?

Seems to me like it's Bruce Wayne; Morrison's whole rationale for the story, as stated in interviews, was "Imagine that every single Batman story had actually happened to one man, over the course of his lifetime. Imagine how badly that would mess him up."

I think this is the 'Fight Club' ending. Batman's need for someone to act out his childhood revenge fantasies against has finally resulted in his making the perfect enemy to fight: Himself. By realizing it, he ends the need to become Batman, and lets the identity "die".

It has the added advantage, as an ending, of being easily undoable five years down the line when the line absolutely tanks because someone else is Batman.

The Black Glove is ... The Bat Computer gaining A.I.? Just a guess. With Jason Todd becoming the Red Hood, it'd be hard to see another Robin becoming a villain but anything's possible. Love the Grant Morrison idea ...

Wow. A lot of typing there.

But you know what- i don't care. Haven't for years.

And it's sad, because I miss my monthly Batman fix. Too bad they haven't published a Batman story in at least 10 years.

I don't think Tim Drake is the Black Glove. I think Tim is on his way to being the Batman that he was in the Titans Tomorrow storyline. I actually think that the whole Batman R.I.P. story is happening because of the machine that Bruce is strapped up to in Final Crisis. He must get rescued because he was in Brad Meltezers Last Will and Testament. So I doubt he will die, he may just leave for a while because of the things he went through in Final Crisis.
