im new to comics, as ive only read the knightfall series (which i loved).

but my question is, is the complete crisis story available in one book yet, and is this the story where it shows how batman died?

thanks

[comicculturewarrior]

There are TWO stories where Batman 'dies.' I'm the penultimate issue of 'Final Crisis' and at the end of 'Batman: R.I.P.' Both stories have been collected in trade, but it should be worth noting that FC happens AFTER R.I.P. making the whole storyline pretty inconsequential. He dies FOR REAL in 'Whatever Happened To the Cape Crusader' by Neil Gaiman (also in TPB) and this is a MUCH BETTER story than the other two.

what exactly did final crisis do for the DCU?

crisis on infinte earths made a cool new universe

infinite crisis brought back the multiverse

what did final crisis do?

[comicculturewarrior]

I think it gave some sort of order to the multiverse within the DCU, outside of everything being on 'parallel planes.' But what that order is, I've yet to figure out.

Anyone else?

I respect Your Openion, But I disagree, Marvel has been more down to earth this Decade & Done a LOT less to Contridict its continuity then DC, wich seems to Contridict past stories at every turn Not to mention DC's events like Amazons attack & Countdown were horribly written! all of Marvel's have been at least DECENT! & i think the fact that Marvel has Done better in sales this Decade is Proof enough.

Thank goodness for Marvel? Marvel blows for the most part!

[soundmonkey44]

Dan dido killed DC (there past 3 years have sucked!) In my openion (Thank goodness for Marvel IDW & Darkhorse)

[fritzmatrix]

gotta agree with you k. I enjoyed crisis on ie,

no clue what was the point of Final crisis. only cool thing was the return of barry and still debating about how to feel about the death of batman.

Superheroes in the DC U have finally acheived that mythological status with Final Crisis. The Marvel U has gone nowhere near that. Final Crisis is entirely about keeping the constant true mode of reality away from the borders of the fatalistic fallen (satanic) nihilistic idealogy of Darkseid and his lord Mandrakk. The New Gods aren't just metahumans, they really are the stuff of mythological Gods. DC version .
