I've know this for a while, but I haven't had my computer for a while.
So, Batman isn't dead.
SPOILER!
Darkseid's Omega Sanction didn't kill him after ole' Batsy shot the radion bullet at him (I can't get over the use of a gun). The Omega Sanction is described as the "life that is death" and just sent his consciousness into a parallel universe. He was sent to the distant past (just his mind, not his body - but how can someone have their mind exist separately from their body?) and he is able to watch the passing of Anthro.
Wow. That's a lot to take in.
Thankfully, executive editor at DC Comics, Dan DiDio had this to say:
"He's not dead, though he'll definitely be gone for a while. Batman and Bruce Wayne have been here long before me and they'll be around long after me."
Well, we kind of knew that already. Why kill of one of their biggest moneymakers? Well, it allowed them to have Battle for the Cowl, which was pretty darn depressing.
Grant Morrison, writer of some of the most amazing comics (Killing Joke, Final Crisis, a whole bunch of others), has said that he is giving a "fate worse than death" that "no one would expect." Well, you got that right, Grant. No one expected you to kill off Bruce.
Now be a good adolescent-minded writer and bring him back.
