this is all supposed to be leading to some batman dying story later on this year... Morrison talking about "Batman RIP" here. At this point, does anyone really give a shit? This is just one more stunt that will have be undone eventually. Talk about "fan wank." I don't see the contorversy. Its all about replacing Batman, for the amount of time that DC will let it happen. Tim Drake would suck, as he kind of says. Dick Grayson would be good in a weird way, as he definitely says. So we'll see who. But guaranteed it won't be some random blonde zealot we've never herd of before.

It would be kind of funny/ballsy for Morrison to just bring Azrael himself back and shove him in there again!  Man...Azrael...  He and Jason Todd should team-up...

They should form a burglary ring focused primarily upon the theft of eggs.

Heh. For what it's worth, Comic Book Resources has a poll up on "who should be the next Batman" and the overwhelming winner so far is "Nobody. Bruce Wayne is Batman."

I checked out an issue out of the storyline. What the hell is Zurr en arr? Also, Bat-Mite has to be the dumbest most pointless character evar.

Zurr en arr is one of Morrison's references to the fifties when Batman went to the planet Zurr en arr and met a parallel of himself.

I just had a re-read of Batman #666, and after reading Morrison's comments at CCI's Batman panel, the only logical conclusion i can come to is that the Black Glove is...
Satan?
Apologies if this has been mentioned before in another thread, but i don't remember seeing it and it's only after this weekend's comments that it seems to make sense. Morrison says he's the ultimate bad guy that everybody knows, and his run has been full of religious references throughout, not to mention the constant red and black colour motifs. And in #666, Damian - now Batman - explains:
"I know the Devil exists, or at least something exists that might as well be the Devil. I've met him."
He later explains that he made a pact with the Devil at fourteen years old - he sold his soul in return for Gotham's survival, which is presumably why he is flame-proof and bullet-proof.
And we know Dick Grayson will become Batman soon - i don't think that the line, "I knew I'd never be as good as my Dad or Dick Grayson" is intended to be ambiguous. And that's Dick lying dead on page 3 too, in the costume that now sits on display in the new Batcave / penthouse... and that's definitely Damian in the Robin suit beside him. So we know Dick and Damian will be Batman and Robin at some point, but not necessarily at the end of R.I.P... although it would make sense.
I know it's nuts, but i think the answers are all in this issue (there's more than i've mentioned above but i don't want to be here all day), and you can't put anything past Grant Morrison...
So i think i've just convinced myself that the Black Glove is Satan himself... or something that might as well be.

Just in case anyone doesn't know, Sikk didn't write this. He generally swipes all his comic talk from the Bloc or The Rama.

So let me get this straight, Batman's getting tortured by Darkseid in Final Crisis and murdered by satan in his own book.
Why does a billionare in good shape, armed with a bunch of theme-toys, rate this high on the cosmic scale?
To ruin batman all you have to do is have his company taken from him in a hostile take-over. Seriously, the guy isn't much without a large fortune getting his back.

"Ruined" Batman stories are a dime a dozen at this point. Unless you are going to do something completely unexpected (and I'm not actually advocating this) like killing Dick, Jason, Tim AND Alfred it's all old hat.
And, in fact, after Miller's stuff, even that's kind of old hat.
The simple fact of the matter is that, until shit like this came along, there was nothing about Batman that really needed "fixing" or "rebooting." All you had to do was stick with the template laid down by guys like O'Neill/Adams, Englehart/Rogers, Dini/Timm and a few others and then just tell good Batman stories.
