Nerd Nod

Back on November 10th I posted the following on a Comic Message Board I frequent:

I was rereading the second collection of the 70s Justice Society tales last night (way too late) and revisited this tale from Adventure Comics #462:

In the above tale the Earth-2 Batman dies.
At the end of the issues, Helena (Batman and Catwoman's daughter on Earth-2) has the following exchange with Earth-2 Dick Grayson:

This immediately brought to mind:

LEGENDS LIVE FOREVER, eh? What a co-inky-dink there.

and ol' LITG (Lying in the Gutters...which is a Weekly Comic Rumors Column at the Comic Book Resources Website) rumor from this week:

THE DEATH OF A BAT

In June/July, DC are killing off Batman. Or rather, Bruce Wayne. Robin will inherit the Batman cowl. One of the Robins anyway. Tim Drake. Jason Todd. Or possibly Red Hood. Hey, maybe Jean-Paul Valley, it has been ten years since Azrael.

I'm still not sure what this all means...but

There's.
Something.
There.

Earth-2 Superman died in Infinite Crisis. The last time we saw Earth-2 Batman was as a ghost in the Levitz penned JSA story that wrapped up the last incarnation of JSA (before the current relaunch).

Still pondering.

Thought I'd share my Saturday Afternoon head noodles.

Lo and Behold, some of the above made this week's LITG column

Page down a bit to the section titled BAT PROMOTION.

Howabout that, eh?
