Here, there was no accompanying reboot, but Grant Morrison HAD just finished the epic storyline, "R.I.P" that had left Batman missing and then that tied in with Final Crisis, where Batman was seemingly killed in battle with Darkseid. ![]() Twenty-three years earlier, Alan Moore (and Curt Swan, Kurt Schaffenberger and George Perez) did a story arc called "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" that ostensibly wrapped up the Pre-Crisis continuity of Superman before the whole thing was rebooted by John Byrne in Man of Steel. ![]() ![]() TXT book The Wicked Cometh by Laura Carlin read.
