Sorry.

“Batman and alter ego Bruce Wayne are not dead, according to DC Comics executive editor Dan DiDio.

The caped crusader apparently falls to his death in a helicopter explosion at the conclusion of Grant Morrison’s Batman R.I.P., moments after adversary the Black Glove reveals that he is actually Batman’s father, Dr Thomas Wayne.

However, Batman boss DiDio confirmed that Bruce Wayne will wear the cowl again. “He’s not dead, though he’ll definitely be gone for a while,” he said.

“Batman and Bruce Wayne have been here long before me and they’ll be around long after me.”"

Unfortunately, he’s ruined the book and the character (Bruce Wayne, the one true Batman) for me. Now that Didio’s allowed Morrison to impose his will on the Bat-books and the DCU I’m done with it until Bruce is back and Morrison’s stuff is more or less ignored, or even retconned. A shame, because I’ve mostly loved Detective Comics all this time. Paul Dini’s work has been excellent, including the Heart of Hush storyline. That’s what deserved all the attention that RIP itself got.

Just a theory.

“Batman’s all right, Robin’s all right, they just seem a little weird…
Zurr en arrh! Zurr en arrh! But don’t give yourself away…”

I keep thinking that I know that font used in that last panel from somewhere. Some movie poster/ad campaign, although my memory’s misled me as to it being either The Omen or Twilight Zone.

No. I don’t think “Zorro in arkham”, the whole phrase, can be misheard as “zurr en arrh”. Thomas Wayne would have to be slurring pretty hard for Bruce to miss the “k” sound. The significance of the words are that they’re the the last his parents said to him before being shot. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for him to remember the penultimate three syllables but not the last syllable his parents said to him. Since that makes no sense, at least to me, it defeats the purpose of the scene, which is to give reason to the nonsensical term.

Like I said, that was just a minor, pedantic point. The bigger reason why I didn’t enjoy it is because I felt “Zurr en Arrh” didn’t need any further explanation and that the page could’ve been used to flesh out some other things in the book that I felt were a little skimpy.

Zorro like all know means Fox, Renard in french & if you read it in one word you get Zu Rrenarrh ( the renard) funny coincidence.

You don’t think “Zorr in ar” sounds like “Zurr en arrh”?

To me, the thing comes off as a waste of a page, a page that could’ve definitely been put to better use, maybe giving the Joker a more clear and more interesting defeat or maybe doing something more with the Club of Heroes, whose presence seems really contrived and whose sole purpose in the issue was to give exposition and foreshadow.
