Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?: Difference between revisions

Exactly what the truth of events is. It could all be a [[Dying Dream]], an actual dream, a psychic vision, pretty much any interpretation you can come up with is possible, though the book seems to subtly favour the [[Dying Dream]] position. This interpretation would make it so that the spirit's final speech to Batman reveal that {{spoiler|whenever Bruce dies, his soul is reincarnated as a new Bruce in a new universe to become Batman again, as something has deliberately set this up and stopped his soul from entering Heaven or Hell.}}

----

* [[And Your Reward Is Infancy]] / [[Groundhog Peggy Sue]]: At the end of the story, Batman is reincarnated as ''himself''; his reward for being Batman is that he gets to be Bruce Wayne for eight years before he has to be Batman again.

* [[Antagonist in Mourning]]: Played straight with [[The Joker]] and Ra's al Ghul. Hinted to a lesser degree/possibly subverted with Clayface and Mad Hatter. (Depending on how much the former is actually moved to change by Batman's sacrifice, or if the latter actually feels the death too much).
