I found this on another forum, and I am currently pissed off about it.

Apparently, over the course of Final Crisis, Batman will die, and will be reborn as a Fifth World New God (currently, there's an on-going story where the Fourth World Gods are being killed off one by one)

Jason Todd will be taking over the cape and mask. Not Dick Grayson. Not Tim Drake. Jason Todd....

Honestly...I'll stop reading DC Superhero comics after that then. Might stick to Vertigo, Indies and Marvel...or whatever.

Batman is my one of my all-time favorite heroes, call me narrow minded if you want, but you just dont pull something so retarded like that. Not even if you are Grant Morrison. It kills what The Batman was all about. Sorry, but mr. Morrison will loose all my respect if thats whats really going to happen in Final Crisis.

wait......WHAT THE FUCK?????????????

Ugh...ugh...ugh...... :pale ....what, who the fuck decided this?

What the......I...I....I am speechless....and.....Jason fucking Todd? Are you fucking joking?

No. No. No.

A thousand times no..........WHo the hell okayed this? Lus, quick we must go Jay and Silent Bob on DC's ass, QUICK!

>:(

Give it a chance, let's see what they come up with first, it might not be as bad as your portraying it in your head.........

Yes Retro, it sounds as bad as it is in my head, because there's no other way around it.

BUT!!

There's another thing that surfaced yesterday. This piece of news came from CBR, and quite frankly, their column is just a piece of shit. The guy who writes it never sites his resources, and it wasnt in any other big comic news site, so we can assume DC wont be pulling a stupid stunt like that.

They might though, let's just hope they do it tastefully, I like DC more than Marvel, primarily because the last 7 years have been full of utter crap from Marvel, their stories tend to have a ridiculously stupid ending, while DC has less crap, I don't like how Sinestro Corps has been handled outside the Green Lanthern comics, but that itself is a pretty kick ass story so far....
