Grant Morrison's 2008 storyline, "Batman R.I.P.", featuring Batman being physically and mentally broken by the enigmatic "Black Glove", garnered much news coverage in advance of its highly-promoted conclusion, which would supposedly feature the death of Bruce Wayne. The intention was, in fact, not for Batman to die in the pages of "R.I.P." but for the story to continue with the current DC event Final Crisis, and have the death occur there. However, out of desire to give the storyline of "R.I.P." a suitable conclusion in an of itself, Batman appeared to die in the final chapter of the story, only to turn up alive in the very next issues as a prisoner of "Crisis" villain Darkseid. The death came a month later, in the limited series Final Crisis, during which Batman confronts the story's villain Darkseid. Making rare exception, Batman uses a gun, loaded with a Radion (which is poisonous to the New Gods) bullet, to shoot Darkseid's shoulder, just as Darkseid unleashes his Omega Sanction, the "life that is death", upon Batman and his charred corpse is recovered by Superman. However, the Omega Sanction does not kill its victims: instead, it sends their consciousness travelling through parallel worlds, and at the conclusion of Final Crisis, it is made clear that this is the fate that has befallen the still-living Batman, as he watches the passing of Anthro in the distant past.
da notare infine la spiegazione di Morrison sul finale e del perche della pistola di batman
Morrison notes that Batman's use of the gun in Final Crisis #6 is symbolic as “the root of the Batman mythos is the gun and the bullet that created Batman. So, Batman himself is finally standing there to complete that big mythical circle and to have the image of Batman up against the actual personification of evil and now he's got the gun and he's got the bullet. It seemed to me to work.
il riferimento alla pistola e' quella che aveva ucciso i genitori di bruce ed aveva creato appunto batman
mi chiedo perche la Dc debba sempre avere il failplot dei "mondi paralleli" che cagatona pz
a marzo parte la miniserie di tre numeri Battle for the Cowl che mostra nightwing e robin etc alla prese di gotham senza batman e gia ci sono le speculazioni nella rete che a Giungo uno dei due divverra il nuovo batman o tornera bruce wayne in qualche modo dai mondi paralleli
Ecco la copertina della miniserie ed i protagonisti (pretendenti?) con tanto di Nightwing in primo piano... 10 ad 1 che se non torna wayne sara grayson a vestire il manto del cavaliere oscuro... che già porta in mano nella copertina.
