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.

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?

Cher / Catwoman and Johnny Depp / Riddler ?

Back in the day, yes I could see Cher as Catwoman.


Johnny Depp as Riddler and Fred Weller as the Joker? Priceless.


Cher / Catwoman and Johnny Depp / Riddler ?

If you believed all those tabloid rumours about Cher as Catwoman and Johnny Depp as the Riddler in the next Christopher Nolan Batman film might be a bit spurious, Dark Knight studio Warner Bros have confirmed that you are absolutely right.
Cher will not be turning back time to become the Catwoman.

How about Fred Weller as the Joker, Angelina Jolie as Catwoman and Johnny Depp as the Riddler?
Find a Penguin and you could just remake the 1960's movie!

No decision on another Batman and more news....

Morgan Freeman: His darkest night
There was something strange about the way Morgan Freeman ended up in hospital this week, and it wasn't just the revelation that the Oscar-winning actor, a motor-racing fanatic with a fleet of expensive supercars, had sustained a selection of "serious" injuries by crashing a beaten-up 1997 Nissan Maxima.
