Holy Greek mythology!
Batman has been bumped off by his…….dad. Holy Darth Vader!
In the latest issue of the DC comic, Batman RIP, Bruce Wayne aka Batman goes head to head with a mysterious organisation, Black Glove and its leader Simon Hurt. Simon Hurt, it transpires, is Dr Thomas Wayne, Batman’s ‘dead’ dad. And wait for it…. his death had been faked.
Holy Freudian undertones….
Batman tries to stop his devilish dad from escaping and the last we see of the Caped Crusader he’s engulfed in a fireball though we don’t see his body. But don’t you weep for the former Boy Wonder, Robin, will carry on the Batman tradition.
The story has been written by comic writer Grant Morrison, who incidentally, cites cats and vodka as his interests (a man after my own heart btw). And doubtless he will court controversy with this ending of an era.
People have killed characters in the past but to me, that kind of ends the story. I like to keep the story twisting and turning.
So is Batman Bruce Wayne truly dead? Will Boy Wonder get over his grief and keep Gotham City safe from baddies?
Holy shmoly…..
And not complete without a pic of the indefatigable Catwoman…
