10 Comics That Never Got An Ending
9. All Star Batman And Robin, The Boy Wonder
Not every instance of a comic never concluding is a bad thing. Sometimes the book is cancelled due to low sales, poor critical response or creative differences between the artists and the publisher. All-Star Batman and Robin exists in a strange little hubristic niche in the world of DC Comics, a book that has no definitive ending but not because of any of the above reasons.
The "All-Star" line was DC's attempt to create books that would attract new readers to comics by removing the burden of continuity. Essentially, an "All-Star" line of Writers and Artists would tell stand-alone tales with the company's most prominent properties outside of mainstream continuity. DC launched the line with Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly's critical and commercial smash, All-Star Superman. The second title was Frank Miller and Jim Lee's train wreck, All-Star Batman and Robin.
Despised and ridiculed by fans and critics for its mean spirited, offensive and outright bizarre handling of the property, the book began to ship later and later until DC just stopped publishing it at all. Cancelling a book by either legend would be a PR disaster for the company, so instead, all parties just pretended the book never existed.
