The continuing story of Batman RIP is truly astounding. The groundwork established by Grant Morrison over the last 20+ issues is finally coming together as batman goes, for lack of a better term, batty. Bat's girlfriend's actions, Bruce's actions, and the like all seem to be fitting together too perfectly. It is as if strings are being pulled with such precision, that everything falls right into place. The notion made that Bruce himself is creating this becomes not only plausible, but the most likely of all options. Who else but batman could devise such a plan that would relieve Alfred from his duties, get Tim away from the cave, and allow these intruders to make it into the BATCAVE.
