Holy R.I.POFF, Batman!

"What I am doing is a fate worse than death, things that no one would expect to happen to these guys at all," Mr Morrison told Comic Book Resources.

"When we begin to suspect the identity of the villain, I think it's the most, like I said the other day, it's possibly the most shocking Batman revelation in 70 years."

The scans of the end of R.I.P Batman just went up on scans_daily .

Whut?

No seriously, WHUT. JUST. HAPPENED?

After all that hype, this is how they are going to kill off the freaking Batman? 

Particularly in light of this post, the whole thing becomes even exponentially funnier. 

Aha. Ahaha. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Kudos for sheer Whatthefuckery, DC! 

They cancelled Robin, Nightwing and Birds of Prey for this. *headdesk*

Ah, the main reason I love the comic fandom is when something like this pops up you can just go 'oh, I don't follow that continuity'. Even if I thought Batman was dead dead (and lets face it, Stargate's Daniel was dead dead... for a season), then I'm quite happy to ignore it and any WTFery that follows it.

Oh! And I think I friended you back. I think. :P

Sorry it took me so long to reply. School ate me.

Nobody is dead dead in comics. Anywho, I can't figure out all this continuity business. I thought there was just one continuity after the Infinite Crisis?

Heh, if you're a noob then there's no hope for me! I really have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to comics. Just ignore me. :P
