I demand to be cremated.
So with Morrison exiting Batman & Robin and a new team not quite ready to take the reins, Paul Cornell is stepping in for a three-issue arc that sees Dick and Damian encountering a new villain while investigating the desecration/looting of the grave of one of Bruce's old girlfriends.
Obviously, that list could be lengthy, but I wouldn't take any bets against it being the grave of Vesper Fairchild.
At any rate, in the Bat-titles alone over the last few years we've had Jason's gave desecrated by Clayface acting on behalf of Hush, we've had Jason's grave dug up and investigated by Bruce himself in the wake of Jason's apparent resurrection, we've had Bruce's grave messed with in order for Tim Drake to prove that the body interred was not actually Bruces, and now one of Bruce's dead girlfriends no longer gets to rest in peace.
Not to mention all the mass zombification going on in the DCU at large as a result of the Black Lantern Corps.
If I were to die in the DCU, my last will and testament would demand cremation, because seriously... if you can't stop being victimized when you're dead, what's the point?
