Not that cliche again...
It looks like with Batman #676 (via Newsarama blog), the rumor of the Masked Manhunter possibly dying has boomeranged back, and they've resorted yet again to the tired cliche:
Are you ready for "Batman R.I.P."?Who cares?!? It fails to even anger me now. The Times of London caught on to this (in a pretty sugary article too at that), and say that if Batman dies, he'll get better. But I'd rather Bruce Wayne not die, even if it's only temporary. It'd only be such a joke by now.
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 story, and nothing will ever be the same again.
Who will live? Who will die? Who will be Batman? The answers are sure to shock you in "Batman R.I.P.," featuring artwork by Tony Daniel and Sandu Florea and covers by Alex Ross.
