		<description><![CDATA[USA Today have gotten their hands on the exclusive reveal of how the much talked about Batman R.I.P storyline is set to wrap with Batman #681 which hits stores tomorrow, penned by Grant Morrison.

Could DC really pull the trigger and kill off Bruce Wayne, their most lucrative character who just this summer appeared in THE DARK KNIGHT and made $1 billion? The Batman franchise has never been bigger but at 681 issues, is the character done?
SPOILERS BELOW IF YOU HAVE BEEN READING THIS SERIES!


No he doesn't die, they haven't killed him off. Instead they are going for the sitcom ending of sending him away for a while, with the full intention of bringing him back at a later date.

The issue wraps with the caped crusader "so shaken by a secret from his past that a new Batman must be found".

Neil Gaiman is writing a two-issue tribute to Batman which will start at Batman #686, tentatively titled Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? Gaiman calls it his last Batman story and hints it could be the last Batman story ever.

The movie mirrors Alan Moore's Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, which was similar wrap-up of Superman in the mid 80's ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One rumor I've heard from people who know so much more about comics than I do, is that the whole idea for this Batman R.I.P storyline, is so they can give the Batman character a complete new reboot.

After 80 years of Batman stories and 681 issues of the character (not to mention Detective Comics and the hundreds of other issue spin-offs), they believe the character has gone as far as he could possibly go and the universe just doesn't make that much sense anymore.

How many times can we really see Batman battle The Joker and not kill him, the many deaths of Robin's etc?



And because of the work of Christopher Nolan and his billion dollar live action franchise bringing an added interest not just to the character but comics in general, we have been hearing since BATMAN BEGINS that DC were tempted to start again from that very first night in Bruce's childhood and re-do issue No. 1. but in the fully realistic environment which Nolan has mapped out.

Something tells me that after THE DARK KNIGHT made as much money as it did, this has become even more of a lucrative prospect.

So here's the question to you. Would you support ...]]></description>

Review by Matt Holmes

[rating: 3.5]

Batman is a visual sensation, director Tim Burton's homage and love letter to the silent horror movies he saw in his youth and with the stunning Academy Award winning Gothic set and production design from the great Anton Furst, Burton's Gotham is without doubt one of the most distinctive and awe inspiring settings ever created on film.

The script calls it "The City of the Future" but the Gotham depicted in this movie exists in a timeless state with Gothic European architecture, statues that would usually only exist in Greek mythology, enormous and impossible skyscrapers right out of Fritz Lang's Metropolis and very little pop culture references, clothing or technology that could age the movie. That is except of the course the dating but strangely fitting Prince Soundtrack that accompanies the film, something which Burton had no say in.

Gotham is a depiction of New York if it had gone ...]]></description>
