ÒTHE REAL BATMAN DIES NEXT!Ó At a costume-party fundraiser, a man dressed as Batman dies in Bruce WayneÕs arms. His cowl is removed, and he is identified as Lt. Bucky Dunlop. The words ÒThe Real Batman Dies Next!Ó appear to have been tattooed on his forehead. Gordon is there, and orders all in attendance, including Bruce, to remain behind.
