Batman comic bosses have denied reports that the Caped Crusader will be killed off in the popular comic book.
Rumours were abuzz that Batman will meet a gruesome end in the latest book titled Batman, R.I.P.: Conclusion.
However, D.C. Comics executives have shot down the reports, insisting that the superhero's demise has been blown out of proportion.
Though the story ends story ends on a cliffhanger, executive editor Dan DiDio insists Batman will return.
"He's not dead, though he''ll definitely be gone for a while,” ‘Contactmusic’ quoted DiDio as telling the ‘New York Daily News’.
"Batman and (alter ego) Bruce Wayne have been here long before me, and they'll be around long after me," he added.
