Batman...R.I.P?
First Captain America and now this?
You know I really like Grant Morrison, I read both his fiction and non fiction.
But this.....
Holy reincarnation, Batman!
Scots writer Grant Morrison killed off Bruce Wayne in the tellingly titled Batman RIP - but death is rarely the end for comic book heroes
Gillian Harris
Grant Morrison is enjoying a spell of notoriety. Following the publication of last week’s Batman comic, he is guaranteed a place in the superhero hall of fame as the man who killed the caped crusader.
The writer’s announcement that he planned to dispose of Batman sparked a frenzy of speculation and chat room buzz over what sort of grisly fate would befall the legendary hero. Rumours abounded that his loyal sidekick Robin would go over to the dark side and destroy him.
Full story here:

So does Nightwing inherit the cape and cowl?
What's gonna happen to the Joker?
After Cap died Stephen Colbert got his shield, who gets the batarang?
(I think Colbert would push for the Batmobile)

Green Lantern - Arisia
Out of all the Green Lanterns, Arisia is probably one of the most popular.
She was created by Mike W. Barr for the Tales of the Green Lantern Corps miniseries in 1981.
Her name Arisia is taken from the Lensman novels by E.E. Smith (Lots of people believe the Green Lantern Corps was patterned after the Lensman series).
With her golden-yellow skin, hair and eyes, and pointed, elven ears, she was certainly one of the most attractive Green Lanterns.
Well next to Kilowog at least.
Arisia had a huge crush on Green Lantern Hal Jordan (which didn't hurt her appeal any, since Hal is still one of the most popular Lanterns ever).
And of course as happens to many super heroines, she died.
But she came back!
No one dies forever in comic books except Bucky and Uncle Ben.
(Wait....Bucky's alive.....oh well).
Anyway, Arisia is back to her inter-galactic ring slinging and all is right with the world.
At least in the DC Universe.

Arana, Marvel Comics
Art by Mark Brooks
Araña is a superheroine in the Marvel Universe created by Fiona Avery and Mark Brooks.
Unlike the accidental creation of Spiderman, Anya Corazon was recruited by a mystical clan called the Spider Society to act as their agent, a Hunter.
Arana's abilities include enhanced strength (able to lift 3 tons) , speed, and agility (she can jump over 25 feet) .
Like Spiderman, she has the ability to cling to walls and she had a spider-like exoskelton around her body which enhanced these abilities.
I say "had" because Doomsday Man ripped her exoskeleton out.
Ouch.
To me, Arana's main claim to fame is having one of the most realistic "super hero costumes".
Big goggle-eyed sunglasses, red and blue sneakers, blue track pants, red backpack and red gloves with pockets.
