New York, Nov 24
DC comics' superhero Batman is set to be killed off after 70 years of fighting crime.
Rumours are rife that in the next issue of the comic, published Thursdays, Bruce Wayne, the face behind Batman's mask will meet a grisly end, reports contactmusic.com.
However, the latest "Batman" movie "The Dark Knight", starring Christian Bale as Wayne and the superhero, was a box-office smash and another film is said to be in the offing.
