Okay this has me really pissed off at Grant Morrison. (Spoliers for Batman Inc 8)

This post contains major spoilers for Batman Inc. 8 so be warned.







In an interview with CBR Tomasai, the writer of Batman and Robin, revealed that Morrison is killing of Damian Wayne. I'm sorry, but this really comes across as either pure shock value or Morrison saying "I created Damian and since I'm leaving so is he." As fan of Damian Wayne, I'm really annoyed.

Besides, this is comics. The only people that stay dead are Bucky, Jason Todd and Uncle Ben. Um... Yeah...

EDIT: How do I strike through a few words?

Yeah, those work.

Just preface the word or words you want to strike out with a "strike" and follow them up with a "/strike" tag, but close the tags off in square brackets. The HTML5 <del> tags don't seem to work here.

Frankly I'd prefer it if he stayed dead, just to make it meaningful.

I hate how meaningless death is in comics, but I hate to see Damian go. I really wish they wouldn't kill him, he is one of my favorite characters in the DCU

This panel alone (from Morrison's Batman, Inc. #1) makes him a favorite of mine. Fuckin' Bat-Cow.
