That's correct...the internet is abuzz with rumors that next summer DC Comics plans on killing Batman/Bruce Wayne and that either Tim Drake (the current Robin) or Dick Grayson (Nightwing and former Robin) would don the mantle.
There's no question that DC is building towards a "Final Crisis" I haven't been reading a lot of those titles leading up to that event but know that it is happening. In the past couple of years we've had Identity Crisis and Infinite Crisis so another Crisis is imminent.
Of course DC Comics has traveled this road before in the mid '90 with the Death of Superman. That was definitely a stunt...but one that was thought out (by the Superman writers and artist) and one that had good storytelling (including the Funeral for a Friend storyline and Return of Superman storyline).
If DC Comics wants to do it...and they have a good story then I can buy it...solely on the condition that Bruce Wayne comes back. Yes this is the Comic Book world where characters come back to life more frequently than they do on daytime Soap Operas. Even the ones that you wouldn't expect to come back (Jason Todd, Oliver Queen and Hal Jordan)...they come back.
I was pretty mad when I read about this last night and declared (and it might not be true) that I might be done with comic books if Bruce Wayne never comes back. I realize that is a bold statement.
It would infuriate me if the original Batman was truly dead...and I would probably break something.

i can't even believe killing bruce wayne is in consideration. that sucks on so many levels. especially seeing the job DC did w/the return of superman. it just made everything stupid for a while when there were 6 different supermen...
the knightfall storyline was okay, but look how messed up it got when azreal took the helm... no way is killing wayne off, a good idea.
