Oh, man, I bought the Batman R.I.P. hardcover b/c I was told it was good, and I read it and it SUCKED. Honestly, this entire debacle has made me hate Gaiman, who I heard was credited with a large part of the idea. I don't really midn the writers of Batman so much, but Gaiman gets these ideas and he thinks he can just screw with canon. Whatever, I'm sure it'll all be over soon.

I couldn't help you out with making any sense of that crap. It sucks the storyline's going in that direction. *headdesk*
