When considering all comic book characters, who has been around the longest without dying? Superman...nope. Batman...nope. Maybe Reggie Mantle? I think he may have been around longer than Veronica, but is there a regular character that has been around longer? But did they really die? Superman didn't really die after his fight with Doomsday, he just went into a super-coma where his heart beat once every two months whilst his body repaired. The New 52 Superman died, but he wasn't the real Superman (who had been reintroduced into the universe). Has Batman's died? There's been all sorts of goings on - like mortal wounding, being buried alive and getting omega-zapped back in time - but he always comes back alive. And then there's the Endgame shenanigans... I haven't read the storyline where Batman goes back in time. It just sounded like a lame story. |

I haven't read Morrison's run on Batman and Robin. I've got a few issues and I think I have the digital copies so I'll give it a try. I was a huge fan of Morrison when he did Animal Man.

Batman and Robin was a fun read. Nothing too serious and it gave both Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne a good tryout. |

Final Crisis would've been good, if the story had flowed a bit better. I remember a lot of people blaming the editing... I even bought that for a while. Now I think it was just the way it was written... It was a bit jumbled and too many important details were crammed into a single panel. |

Has Subby ever been killed? I don't know about Subby during the Golden Age, but he was beheaded in Squadron Supreme #1 not too long ago, but was brought back to life in #13 just before the series ended. |

Who committed the regicide? I'm having trouble with the "spoiler" tag. The little Linky icon-thing on the far right isn't even showing. I'll pm you in case there's folks that want to read the 15 issue story arc. |

You're right, it wasn't there when I opened the reply window. Then suddenly it popped up.  Gremlins. |
