times a thousand. Sandman will always be number one for me and Gaiman wrote the best Poison Ivy and Riddler stories I know .

I just wish it was Neal Adams instead of Kubert.

Yeah, I didn't care much for Kubert's Batman stuff. Quite a few artists I'd take over him.

I love the fact these 2 are on board, but does this mean that Morrison's finally gonna kill him?

I think we should all come to terms with the fact that Morrison's going to kill Bruce Wayne/Batman. He might come back or he might not. The only thing that would shock me is if Bruce Wayne kept being Batman...

The name is really intriguing. I kinda feel where Gaiman might go with this just off the name alone, and knowing he's coming off Morrisons run.

:dances:
maybe something set in the years after Batman is gone? Whatever, as long as it's Gaiman I'll be reading it.

Pavane, is a Ivy story with flashbacks to her origin in Secret Origins #36. It's uncollected from 1986, you'll probably need to find it scanned online if not ebay. It was the first go at a definitive post-crisis origin story (which is what much of the series was actually intended for), and in portraying the conflicting and alluring nature of Poison Ivy it's never been matched, imo.
The other Ivy story is Black Orchid from 1990. She's only on about four or five pages of the entire graphic novel, but Mr. Gaiman added volumes to Ivy's character with that one appearance and she's quite chilling yet sympathetic at the same time. The whole story is about plant women and it has amusing appearances from Swamp Thing and Batman. When is a Door, is also a Riddler origin flashback of sorts. I haven't read it for a while but iirc the Riddler is trying to figure out where he belongs in the scheme of Gothams criminals. It appears in Batman - Secret Origins Special from 1989.

Perhaps it is the last "Earth 1 Batman" story.

If it's anything like Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, then it'll be an imaginary story. Just for kicks, let's guess what it will be about, I'm guessing it'll be a tale of a possible future told by Destiny (since Gaiman's writing this, it'd be cool if he put in the Endless, especially since Destiny would be such a awesome plot device to tell the story without messing up the continuity possibilities).

It's gonna be about peoples idea of Batman and how it's changed over time. all of Gaimans books are stories about stories.
