He just passes peacefully. He holds out until his body has no more to give. In some way or another, always fighting to keep going, until he can't.
And in that final moment, he finds peace.
He finds peace in knowing that while his battle continues on, he'll be able to keep fighting it through his trained successor in Terry. And that his legacy as Batman lives on, beyond his time in this world.

Batman's is... a few moments of peace and to do it all over again.
I can't tell if that's sad or not.

Date: 2024-05-15 12:44 am (UTC)I have griped about other stories that seem to conclude with "Ain't it great how the big characters will get rebooted forever?" and this story does flirt with being that towards its end. The difference is that Gaiman does have a profound thing or two to say about Batman--his indomitable spirit, his endless commitment/compulsion, shaping the lives of everyone around him, including his own. Gaiman at once recognizes that being Batman is a childish notion and that there's something sublime about it. "Your only reward for being Batman? You get to be Batman." Not Gaiman's best, for sure, but a worthy addition to his resume.
