OH NOES!!! Batman is RETIRING Next Wednesday!
Even if you’re not into comics, you should probably head over to your nearest Golden-Whatever comic shop next Wednesday and pick up a copy of Batman #681 because Bruce Wayne’s hanging up the cape after he discovers a shocking secret from his past! This issue caps off the Batman R.I.P. storyline written by Grant Morrison and it’s sure to fly off the shelves and possibly turn a pretty penny in the years to come - sorta’ like the Death of Superman back in the 90’s, until the comic market nearly collapsed and most of those issues became just about worthless.
Neil Gaiman will be writing 2-issue a followup storyarc starting with Batman #686 entitled Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader. I’m sure the DC Universe will be flooded with spin-offs and cash-ins revolving around the event.
I’m personally hoping that Alfred and Nightwing duke it out cagematch style over who gets the keys to the Batmobile.
