"Beginning the epic story that will change the legend of The Dark Knight forever! Everything in Grant Morrison's groundbreaking run on Batman has been leading to this, and nothing will ever be the same again.
Who will live? Who will die? Who will be Batman? The answers are sure to shoch you!"
I've been catching up on stuff in the comic book world recently, and just started reading Grant Morrison's recent run of Batman (starting with 'Batman & Son' in 2006).
I only heard about Batman R.I.P. today. It's being written by Grant Morrison with art by Tony Daniel and started May 14th with Batman #676. Here's the comics it will run across:
According to Morrison, what will happen to Batman is going to be:
- Batman #676-681
- Detective Comics #846-850
- Nightwing #147-150
- Robin #175-176
- Batman and the Outsiders #11-13
"so much better than death. People have killed characters in the past but to me, that kind of ends the story! I like to keep the story twisting and turning. So what I am doing is a fate worse than death. Things that no one would expect to happen to these guys at all. This is the end of Bruce Wayne as Batman."
There's an interview with Morrison here:
