Don't you dare, DC
So, I was catching up on Final Crisis (geez, what a mess) over at scans_daily yesterday - and I found this:
Two issues of BATMAN in one month! Now that “Batman R.I.P.” has concluded, the aftermath begins! If you thought mastermind writer Grant Morrison surprised you with “R.I.P.”, just wait until you see what he has planned for this retrospective story. In his last hours, Alfred the Butler tells the life story of the Batman as you've never seen it before in this two-part adventure which bridges the gap between the events of “Batman R.I.P.” and FINAL CRISIS. Learn the secrets of Batman's early years! Witness the nightmare of a Gotham City where Batman never existed!
"His last hours"?! YOU CANNOT KILL ALFRED!
This is worse than killing Bruce. Maybe I could've got past Bruce's death - sure, I would drop Batman, but I'd probably keep Nightwing.
However, if they kill Alfred, that's it. I am never buying another Bat Book. Ever.
