Now you see, I've read over the paragraph where Rich suggests that like five times. Outside of one thing about consumer products moving to LA, I see nothing that would even imply DC Direct going away. It makes enough money for the company as it doe. Ask anyone who bought the 300 dollar ring set.

I'm in the middle of a Batman showcase. Volume 3 to be exact.

One of the stories has someone killing Batman. However the issue actually has a proper ending with Batman beating the villain, and then the writer, Garden Fox cuts in, and talks about how he sometimes wonders what would happen if Batman was killed, giving a "What if..." story, which involved the Earth-2 Batman, and Earth-2 Alfred showing up (Alfred was dead in the comics at this time) and then ending with the writing repeating that this was all just imaginary. And earlier in the same volume, a page was shown with a writer actually telling the reader not to worry, and everything will be alright.

Basically, I'm saying that Batman in the 60's was a lot more fucked up, and yet more awesome than I could have ever expected.
