I love Bruce Wayne as batman, and I wish that they hadn't gotten to the point of "killing" him yet, but I'm really tired of characters dying very significant deaths that have an impact on the reader and then they magically popping back to life. For instance: Jason's first death as Robin was a horrible experience for Bruce. It definitely changed Batman and how he treated his later sidekicks. Granted, this influence wasn't erased when Jason came back to life, and Jason coming back to life WAS interesting, but death in general has become absolutely meaningless in DC.
I mean, I don't want them to retire Bruce as batman, but seriously, if they're going to make such a huge deal out of him dying, I would kind of like it to be for real.
I mean, I'm not super passionate about this, and I'm not going to boycott the Batman comics or anything, it just kinda bugs me that this "big event" of Batman's death is pretty much just a brief plot device that will probably have no influence on continuity
but whatever, my opinion is just one among billions, and I honestly can't claim that his death would be a good thing - it's just something that I feel would be best
