This two-part series co-written by Neil Gaiman (The Sandman) and Andy Kubert (Marvel 1602, Batman vs Preadator) invites readers in to the funeral of Batman with hundreds in attendance. Friends and foes alike line-up to confess their sins and retell the story of how they are responsible for killing the caped crusader. Each gripping story more convincing than the last. I could of done without the guided-by-mom's-ghost-trippy-rebirthed-in-space ending when I first read the second book but it has grown on me over the year. Why did it take them so long to kill Batman? It has spawned incredible storylines and possibilities.
