Batman RIP?

[BATMAN1]

In case you haven't been following things. There is a storyline underway in which Bruce Wayne is DEAD.

Here's what DC VP, Dan Didio said in an interview with IGN.

DiDio: "Batman RIP" starts in April. The good part about it is that it starts with him already dead, if I'm not mistaken. [laughs] Therefore, people don't know whether or not we kill him. It's really an exploration of why he's Batman in the last moments of his life, and we're going to start to see how people would react or think if they had to exist in a world without Batman.


Dan is one of my friends on MySpace. (Yeah, I'm name dropping ;D) I've had some conversations with him, but I have held back on this and asking him,

[glow=red,2,300]WTF?!? [/glow]

I don't think I like this idea.

I don't see how they have a need to increase sales by going this route.
Duh. Isn't there a Batman movie coming out this summer? Hello.
