Batman R.I.P.

Actually that's very unlikely. It's more likely from solits (Battle for the Cowl, I think?) that one of these guys will be Batman post RIP....

Nightwing
Robin
Jason Todd
Hush

If I were writing it, in my ideal comic book world, Nightwing would take up the mantle, Tim would be the new Nightwing and Damien would be the new Robin.

I thought Hush was a bad guy 😕

I never thought RIP was hard to follow at any point. I accepted some plot points were purposely left unexplained or left open but understanding the big picture is impossible without the information. Morrison takes his time weaving threads from his entire run into this while the artwork is phenomenal.

Art in Heart of Hush...yuck.

This... Batman R.I.P is still a major dissapointment for me...nothing about this has raised it to an even ok rating...such a huge let down for me 👇

I agree..

I'm hoping that the end will be good

Most of the people who like Hush do it mostly because they hate Morrison/Batman R.I.P., not really because it is such an extrordinary arc. The way I see it, if we look at the Dini run overall, it is one of the 'average' storylines.

Or it could just be that Dini's a little easier to follow than Morrison. I'm admittedly not a fan of his, but I still have been reading Batman and own quite a few trades Morrison has done on Batman. Honestly, I feel Morrison writes best when he writes for trade. And this feels heavily like he is writing Batman this way.

The next issue of Detective is going to be a double sized issue, so we'll have to wait and see if its worth it. Batman has been confusing but is starting to tie up nicely.

Has anybody else thought of the idea that maybe it is Hush parading around as Batman in the Batman comic, and in Final Crisis? I mean, it could happen, and this is just a deep reach, but Dini did say on his livejournal (or an interview that was linked on his livejournal) that Detective happens before Batman, not at the same time, and I believe he said it was before Final Crisis. So that would kind of make things a little more interesting.

The thing I have noticed is that there really doesn't seem to be a lot of continuity with all the Batman books. You'd think Morrison would sit everyone down and say, "Look, this is what's going on... follow my lead." But it appears to me all the other writers are just as in the dark as we are.

I also happen to like the art in Hush. With Dini's writing I think it's a good fit - I would describe it as a cross between the Animated Series and Mike Mignola.

so when is batman supposed to die or somthing

Who knows? He may not even die. He might just stop being batman. Maybe Bruce was the Red Robin in the last Robin ish, for all we know right now.

Thats hard to say, if he does at all..

My personal feeling's are that (1) Bruce stays Batman and hopefully creates a brand new Batsuit or (2) Bruce gives up the mantle and Dick or someone else takes over, while Bruce stays in the Batcave to give out orders.

So in Robin this week, he states Bruce is on vacation... and Batman is apparently completely gone from the scene. This of course, happens after the R.I.P. story-line.

Wanna know something even more silly.

The biggest theory on who the main villain in this R.I.P. is none other than:

Spoiler:
The Devil himself.

😐

I can hear the anticlimax to this R.I.P. coming a mile away.

Just giveme more Heart of Hush.

(btw-Selina will take revenge on Hush after what he does to him in the end of the arc...this will look good)

Spoiler:
One of the Ousiders dies, and Batgirl quite possibly might take over the team.

Not sure how that's gonna help Batman out, other than making the fact that Batman is missing more drawn out.

Cassie rocks, She may make a good leader

Seriously, between this, Final Crisis and Secret Invasion, RIP is the one I really want to be over yesterday.

I mean, really. Is it just me or does it seem very drawn out? Especially if Robin and other books that tie into it are already talking about the aftermath.

WTF?

DC announce that after R.I.P. the following titles will be cancel.

Robin, Nightwing, and Birds of Prey.

HUH?!?!

What is Didio up to now?

The whole Batman family is getting axe. First it was Legends...then Catwoman (well, I can agree with cancelling this one...thank you very much Wil Pfeifer) and...now this?

What are they doing? The sales aren't bad for the books.

Didio must explain this!

They are going to sell Batman and all its licensed characters to Image comics.

That's the R.I.P. part.

They are gonna haveta relaunch the titles when Dick becomes the new Batman....wait, what? 😖hifty:

It would be way too suspicious if the just stopped the Nightwing one. You have to at least make it to seem there are other potential candidates for Batman's mantle.
