Like with any comic book death, the hero will be back.

"a fate worse than death"
He loses his ability to fight and decides to spend his last years on freeones.

I thought that "a fate worse than death" would mean that they would make him get married.

Then he could make a deal with the Devil and erase yrs of continuity. Whoops! Wrong comic book company! :1orglaugh

A "fate worse than death" for Bruce Wayne. Could mean anything.

I hope it's not a death, something better.

Then again I don't complain as much as the majority of comic fans.

I thought that "a fate worse than death" would mean that they would make him get married.

Depends on who you marry. Not that Batman hangs around many women.

Yup, killed by his own father. Read about it a couple of weeks ago.

If Nolan makes another Batman movie, I think he should kill him off. I also feel the same way about James Bond.

With the latest incarnation of the boy blunder... Now that really would be a fate worse than death...

I heard a lot of people say they didn't enjoy this storyline at all and it was very hard to follow. A lot of people were confused about how it ended and if Batman really died or not and then there was the reappearence of his father, who ended up killing him or something.

I dunno, I haven't read any of it and I'm inbetween comic book stores right now. Hopefully I just summed it all up.

I felt the same way.. until Casino Royale. The card game scenes dragged the movie out way, way longer than necessary IMO,(My initial opinion) but the reboot of the series was very nice. Screw gadgets, screw the idea of a dozen different hotties sitting on Bond's dick in the span of a movie. After setting my ADD aside, I find the casino scenes actually somewhat enjoyable. Movies can slow down the pace if they want to, it's just unexpected these days. People are so used to lightning-fast action and seamless scenes in a constant stream without changing speed.

I thought he became batman after he saw his parents get killed. How can his dad kill him?. James bond did die but he came back in the same damn movie 2 mins later.

I loved Casino Royale, but Quantum of Solace was the most mediocre action film of the year, which is terrible when you take into account it was also one of the most expensive.

They need to end it before they ruin it all over again.

Isn't that the story of Batman Beyond? Terry McGuiness becomes Batman

 

[squallumz]

sweet. im actually interested in what happens.

 

[Powderxxx]

I really wish comic writers would stop feeling the need to kill off iconic characters every few years.

Death of Superman, Death of Batman, Death of Captain America, etc.

I'm not sure Batman will be "killed" off. A "fate worse than death" for Bruce Wayne. It could mean anything.

The only way they might start focusing on the stories and characterization is if enough people email them and snail mail them.

Most "death" in comics is for shock value to boost sales.

DC printed so many of the comics for the "death" of Superman, people were giving them away at some conventions.
