![]() ![]() ![]() Reed and John Calnan's classic 1977 story arc, "Where Were You on the Night Batman Was Killed?," where various Batman villains tell the story of how they killed Batman. So the main thing was that it appeared as if Batman was dead and so DC took the opportunity to let one the greatest modern comic book writers, Neil Gaiman, tell his version of the "last" Batman story and, of course, Gaiman made sure to do a story that explained that there could never be a "last" Batman story (which nicely dovetailed in with Morrison's own run, where he was about to take his stories to a new title, Batman and Robin, starring Dick Grayson as the new Batman, with the heavy stress on the phrase "Batman and Robin will never die!").Īs noted, the story began in Batman #686, which was a bit of an homage to David K. 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. ![]()
