We’ve already been told, from the lips of Batman Incorporated writer Grant Morrison, that Damian Wayne dies a hero in today’s issue of Batman Incorporated. Of course, given the degree to which he’s spent years establishing Damian as nigh-unbeatable in a fight, the question of how that might happen is one that fans have been wondering basically for as long as there’s been rumors he wouldn’t make it out of Morrison’s run.Well, there are shades of Bane in the issue and those who were concerned about the good taste of showing the death of a ten-year-old boy weren’t without cause; the battle isn’t gratuitously gory or anything, but it isn’t for the weak of heart.Battered by his genetic twin and with arrows and bullets rained down on him during the fight, Damian calls out for his mother or father for help repeatedly throughout the course of the story–but they all fall on deaf ears, as Talia (his mother) has Batman (his father) chained inside of a safe at the bottom of a pool, and it’s a full issue before Bruce can free himself and even attempt to come to the aid of Damian, Red Robin and Nightwing, who are facing off against Leviathan’s forces in Wayne Enterprises’ lobby, with a little help from Ellie, a recurring background character from throughout Morrison’s run.
