Not shocked at all.

I believe I've mentioned before how there was no way that Captain America (Steve Rogers) would stay dead.

At least it took DC over two decades to bring Barry Allen back.... but perhaps that's a poor comparison... let's see how long it takes DC to bring back Bruce Wayne.

The Batman relaunch plans are already in the works.

Already? Didn't they just end the "Battle for the Cowl" (with Dick Grayson being the new Batman and Damian Wayne the new Robin)?

Well, it's a relaunch of the Batman stuff.

I don't know that anyone has said whether this includes Batman actually coming back.

I know that several of the Batman related titles were being canceled and/or relaunched, so I suspect it's going to be Dick Grayson as Batman for at least a couple years.

Not shocked at all.

I stopped being annoyed by this after they brought back Colossus.

*nod* They should have let him stay dead (Colossus, that is). He sacrificed himself to take out the Legacy Virus, after all.

But hey, Marvel Comics has a goddamned revolving door for the Land of the Dead.

Not just Marvel. DC does it as well. Marvel is just more blatant about it.

*nod* It all depends on the character, of course. Honestly, every so often, both Marvel and DC should clear out a bunch of old characters via the Scourge of the Underworld method, or something similar.
