@ Jim

Uh, I think its pretty good, but I wouldn't say that this comes close to being the most brilliant comic this year. Not at all.

December 3, 2008 11:25 pm I'm thinking that if Jane thought the first movie's script was good and he thinks this one's is bad, then this movie's script must be just god awful

December 3, 2008 10:45 pm I heard Thomas Jane isn't in this new movie because the script is really bad. That sucks

Here's a pretty nice interview on ign from mike marts:

Marts: "I'll say that some questions will be answered in these two issues. Other questions will definitely be left unanswered for some time. But I will also say that these two issues will definitely pose some new questions that readers weren't expecting upon finishing Batman RIP. " 

I guess we won't get a definitive answer on this arc for a long time. :( 

November 30, 2008 3:13 pm Yeah, I definitely disagree that Dr. Hurt is literally the devil. I believe it's more likely that Morrison is saying that the devil was a part of pierce, chill, and hurt. He might be saying that, in a way, these people became the devil when they decided to commit their sinful acts, metaphorically, not physically.

November 29, 2008 12:57 pm Good news though: 3 issues of Batman come out next month so we won't have to wait forever to get some sort of explanation

I guess the shock was the truth behind the death of Bruce's parents (see the explanation of r.i.p. in the comment section of templar's user review). Its so difficult to find this though, as it requires the reader to know tons about the back story of batman. DC should come out with an annotated version of r.i.p. in the trade so people understand the references and can piece together the story themselves without having to look stuff up. Like I said earlier, I thought the story was extremely good, just not what I wanted nor what I expected.

November 27, 2008 2:08 pm I totally agree with that explanation

November 27, 2008 2:08 pm Also, if you're confused, read Templar's explanation in the comment section of his user review.
