I was especially excited to see a brief appearance by The Cat, the original name for Catwoman, in all of her cat-head costumed glory. One of the biggest draws of this comic is how much it pulls from classic Batman lore, spanning the entire run of the character. Of course, this is no stanandard story, but instead an intricately woven tale with Bruce himself narrating it, as he attends his funeral from a distance and watches his friends and enemies remember him. With Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? we don’t have to wonder anymore, as writer Neil Gaiman has crafted a surprisingly original take on what the dark knight’s funeral might look like. Ever wonder what Batman’s funeral would be like? ![]()
