Batman killed by his OWN dad

THE world’s most famous comic book hero has breathed his last Bat breath.

Bruce Wayne – who by night is Batman – gets murdered by a man claiming to be the father he thought was dead.

In a highly controversial new storyline Bruce, who first appeared in 1939, is killed by Simon Hurt – the leader of the shady Black Glove organisation.

Simon claims he is really Dr Thomas Wayne, saying he faked his own passing when Bruce was a child.

The superhero dies when he tries to stop his foe escaping by helicopter in the new comic Batman R.I.P.

Writer Grant Morrison said: “This is so much better than death. 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 what I am doing is a fate worse than death. Things that no one would expect to happen to these guys at all.

"This is the end of Bruce Wayne as Batman."

Batman will live on though, with another character filling his Batsuit.

Two likely contenders are Dick Grayson - the original Robin - or current Boy Wonder, Tim Drake.

Bad father ... Batman's dad

The Sun

I heard bout this happening....Bad enough killin him off...but replacin him with Robin? SMH

Robin is really the only one who can fill this spot if you think like all the secrets and stuff like that

i wonder if this would take place in a batman film if they were to make another or would they wait a good few years before they decide to do it.

Me any my boy were just talking about that...If they do...it better be how they end it...like say..in Batman 6 lol (6 counting Begins, TDK and 4 more....not counting the originals.)

This sucks, the Batman character was created by Bruce because of his father's death so his whole life was a lie and what makes it worse is that Robin will take up the suit and Robin is garbage, this should just end the entire series if anything. And this story should NOT go into any of the current Batman movies unless it's to end the series.

^ thats does suck we will have to wait and see
