) sounds pretty similar to the concept of Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader, which Gaimain is supposed to be doing, out in January Feb. This is assuming Gaimians project is similair to the original Whatever Happened to Man of Tomorrow of course, which was an end cap and parting love letter to the pre-crisis mythology. So right now it sounds like we're getting two separate Batman retrospectives around the same time, both from stellar writers who specialize in stories about stories. No complaining, just wondering what the difference will be....
