What is happening?

 

From the BBC News:

Batman’s alter ego Bruce Wayne has apparently been killed off in the latest issue of the superhero comic.

Scottish writer Grant Morrison revealed earlier this year that Wayne would either retire or be killed in a clash with crime syndicate Black Glove.

The story – Batman RIP – sees Batman shot by villain Simon Hurt, who claims to be Wayne’s father Dr Thomas Wayne.

Morrison told BBC News there would be “a lot more twists and turns to come” before the story was finally resolved.  

Comic Batman reaches end of road

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Spoiler:
681 – Batman didn’t die from the gunshot :)
He brings down the chopper with Dr.Hurt going down in flames.
Batman isn’t shown anymore but a shot of Nightwing with Batmans cowl and cape is shown. Next Batman?

The “Batman” resurfaces after several weeks and then goes after the rest of the Black Glove serving them with “hard justice”.

Issues 682-683 are entitled “Last Rites”.
In this story arc – Batman is captured by the big baddie from the DC universe – Final Crisis Event.
After the smoke clears out the story will continue in “Battle for the Cowl” – Nightwing and Robin are the main contenders to be the next Batman.
