Written by Grant Morrison, penciled by Tony Daniel, and with covers by Alex Ross, the story pits the superhero Batman against the Black Glove organization as they attempt to destroy everything that he stands for. It has a number of tie-ins in other DC Comics titles describing events not told in the main story. Outline Everything…the \\\u0026quot;Zur-En-Arrh\\\u0026quot; graffiti, the Joker prose story, the Club of Heroes… every detail that\u0026#39;s been in the book for the last couple of years is significant, everything is a clue to the grand design that\u0026#39;s unfolding. In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Grant Morrison explained that Batman\u0026#39;s fate in the story is \\\u0026quot;so much better than death. People have killed characters in the past, but to me, that kind of ends the story! I like to keep the story twisting and turning. So what I am doing is a fate worse than death. Things that no one would expect to happen to these guys at all. This is the end of Bruce Wayne as Batman\\\u0026quot;. Morrison talked about \\\u0026quot;Batman R.I.P.\\\u0026quot; at the April 2008 New York Comic Con \\\u0026quot;Spotlight on Grant Morrison\\\u0026quot; panel: \\\u0026quot;When we begin to suspect the identity of the villain, I think it\u0026#39;s the most, like I said the other day, it\u0026#39;s possibly the most shocking Batman revelation in 70 years\\\u0026quot;.

Since then he has written numerous best-sellers — including JLA, BATMAN and New X-Men — as well as the critically acclaimed creator-owned series THE INVISIBLES, SEAGUY, THE FILTH, WE3 and JOE THE BARBARIAN. Morrison has also expanded the borders of the DC Universe in the award-winning pages of SEVEN SOLDIERS, ALL-STAR SUPERMAN, FINAL CRISIS and BATMAN, INC., and he is currently reinventing the Man of Steel in the all-new ACTION COMICS.
