It makes sense, though - no-one wants it to be known that Bruce is dead in case someone intelligent like Kathy Kane puts two and two together.
Also, Dini is bringing back Bruce, in a way...with (Urgh) Hush as fake-Bruce masquerading in his place. Your icon is very expressive of my feelings with this issue; why anyone would want to bring back that character, when there hasn't been a single well-written story with him in it, is beyond me.
(No, not even "Heart of Hush". Dull, uninspiring stuff, most especially in the bit where I could almost hear Scotty Evil screaming "Just Shoot Him!".)
