A main DC character DEAD?!?!?!?!

OMFG!

I've never heard of such a thing. The audacity, the cahones, the brazen buffoonery!

Why, they would never do this to Superman! (oh, wait, they did)
Well, they'd never replace Wonder Woman with a substitute. (oh, wait, they did.)
But Aquaman never disappeared to be re-invented. (oh, wait, yeah he did...but at least he got to hook up with Dolphin during his make-over)
Well, at least Batman was safe until now. WAIT! I remember a stupid year with Jean Paul as BM.
Ya know, you would think that these dollar seeking degenerates would at least try to be original. They already broke the bat's back once, and in essence killed him off for a while. But I guess they ran out of stories.

What else could explain a re-run of Knightfall? And a re-packaging of the Crisis on Infinite Earths?
What's next, we gonna kill off Ollie Queen again? Maybe redo the whole Eclipso tie-in series, or Bloodbath?
Oh no, I know...how about "Batman: Year One?" You could make his costume like, all black or sumthin'...yeah, and ditch Robin for a spell, and make Bruce like all brooding and serious...

C'mon executives...read this thread. Bats IS the successful movie line, toy line, syndicated cartoon series, etc. of the DC universe. You're not just temporarily killin' characters, you're permanently killin' fans.

I ditto Bio's remarks, although I Love the Batman, and think only Bruce can be the bat...he's better off dead.

(Any guesses on why I stopped collecting?)
