With Manga Recon’s new home up & running, I’ve started a similar rebuild of The Bruce Timm Gallery. And tonight during my nightly re-uploading I came across a couple cartoons by Timm imagining the death of Batman:

Harley Quinn

Poison Ivy

Personally I lost track of what’s going on with DC’s current Batman RIP crossover. At one point I think Tim Drake had been looking for Batman for 3 months or something (in Robin) but Batman hadn’t even gone missing yet in his own book, I suppose because it was running late. On top of that, the Batman RIP trade dress on Detective never fully convinced me that what Paul Dini was doing was indeed part of Morrison’s larger story or not. I wonder if Bruce (Timm, that is) knows his friend Dini cut out Catwoman’s heart…
