Batman is to be killed off after 70 years, the comic's writer has revealed.
His fate will be revealed in the latest issue of DC Comic's Batman, published on 26 November.
Either way, his demise will lead to a hunt for a replacement.
"What I am doing is a fate worse than death, things that no one would expect to happen to these guys at all," Mr Morrison told Comic Book Resources.
Mr Morrison, the Scottish writer, has written storylines for comics including X-Men for Marvel and Superman for DC Comics. He took over writing the Batman series for DC in 2006.
Bruce Wayne has given up the Caped Crusader mantle once before. In the 'Knightfall' storyline, Batman's back was broken by villain Bane, causing Wayne to recruit Jean-Paul Valley to replace him.
Mr Morrison declined to reveal who the new Batman would be, but the frontrunners include Tim Drake who has been Robin since 1991 and Dick Grayson - the original Boy Wonder.
It is not the first time a superhero has met an unfortunate end in the comic world.
Last year, Captain America was killed after being shot by a sniper in New York.
Superman's death in 1992 at the hands of Doomsday became the biggest selling Superman comic in history. He was later resurrected.
Batman was co-created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger for DC Comics. The character first appeared in Detective Comics in May 1939.

But he stayed dead for a year, so that was something.

I've been enjoying Morrison's run on the book so far (esp. the "Club of Heroes" 2-parter), but "Batman R.I.P." has been kind of 'meh.' Then again, most of Morrison's work reads better in one setting than on a month-by-month basis. He's really good about seeding clues & other tidbits into past issues. I'll probably sit down over the weekend and read it all after a nice turkey sandwich.
I doubt they'll outright kill Bruce Wayne. I just hope they don't put the cape & cowl on Jason Todd.
