Give DC Comics credit.  In an effort not to be outdone by Marvel Comics recent killing of Captain America, DC Comics has stirred up all sorts of media attention by killing off Batman.  Of course, no one on the planet believes Batman is actually dead.  After The Dark Knight raked in over half a billion dollars this summer to become the second highest grossing movie of all time, Batman is likely more invulnerable than Superman in the comic book world.

If you haven’t picked up Batman #681 yet or read any of the thousands of media headlines spoiling the ending of the comic, then you might want to stop reading now, because we are about to cover exactly how Batman was supposedly killed.  Batman wasn’t shot through the heart or decapitated, but instead he perished in a fiery helicopter crash.  You know, one of those fiery helicopter crashes where any bodies recovered will of course be charred beyond recognition.
