From the second part of Newsarama’s Final Crisis wrap-up (spoilers, natch):
NRAMA: Superman’s final wish – Why did he wish for a happy ending, rather than something literal, like Batman coming back?
GM: ‘Batman coming back’ is a little bit too specific an ending for a story about stories. Let’s face it, there’s always a dangerous ‘Monkey’s Paw’ element to making any specific wish – what if Batman ‘comes back’ but as a zombie, or a villain, or as a tiny little Batman who just sits there?
How much would you pay for Grant Morrison to write six issues about a tiny little Batman who just sits there? Because I would pay $3.99 an issue. Hear that, DC? That’s $23.94 right there.
Maybe he could team up with Scarface’s doll? I don’t know, I’m just spitballing here.
