Okay, see, I'd really, really like someone, anyone to get for me the trades of
Batman: R.I.P
Batman & Son
Final Crisis
I need to read them with my own eyes.
because wtflippers bruce wayne died how can bruce wayne die he's human and therefore fallible and therefore you can't kill him off because if you do it's really hard to get him back on earth alive in corporeal form in a decent way which is appropriate for a bruce wayne since he isn't superman you dumb dolt of a man what are you having miller syndrome? LEAVE BATMAN ALONE. Yes, the irony is that you can't kill him off because he's human, and therefore grounded in most of the rules that our reality holds even if all his pals get associated with meta human demigods and coming back to life powers. Powers, which I must remind you, BATMAN DOES NOT HAVE. So I ask again, WHY HAS HE BEEN KILLED. But ah, no, he's not been killed has he, because you can't kill him, right, so you make him some COSMIC SPECTRE THING without the Spectre's powers and he's now just a floating, cosmic, entity, thing. I don't care if Green Arrow's been killed before, if it's true that Batman's been associated with magic and the supernatural through his acquaintances even in Gotham, and that the Batman has also been subjected to time and dimensional rifts. HE CANNOT BE KILLED because killing him is SOMETHING YOU CANNOT REVERSE and as a mainstay character of DC Comics, that'd be a bit hard to come by in CANON, don't you think? And he cannot be cosmic because he isn't cosmic THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF BATMAN he's a rich, tormented little eight year old boy with a hero complex and a huge guilt issue who's gone and conditioned himself to the pinnacle of human physical perfection and goes around terrorising both allies and enemies to pursue his brand of right. He's isn't displaced soul muck.
AND YOU MADE HIM USE A GUN WHAT WAS THAT FOR?
It's Miller syndrome, isn't it? You write so brilliantly, fleshing out and defining the characters that we've come to love. Then somehow that gives you the right to re-make the character into an antithesis of what he's been all this while. Well they solved jerk!Batman. See he was annoying, and egoistical, and probably a monomaniacal despot. But cosmiclost!Batman is just L.A.M.E
