15 DCeased Moments That Shocked The World
4. Batman's Death
No single moment in a comic has ever confirmed that s**t was getting real more than Batman's demise in DCeased #2. After discovering his various wards had been infected by the disease, Batman attempts to get through to them through by talking to his beloved children - only for his darling kids to begin tearing at his skin in their cannibalistic state.
This only gets more tragic when Batman goes full Bat-mode, locking himself inside a Mr. Freeze suit in order to slow his metabolism for long enough to warn Superman about the disease, and tell his surviving son, Damian, one last tragic goodbye.
It's hard to tell what is more sad; Damian's reaction to his father telling him goodbye, Batman's reaction to having to say goodbye, or Alfred having to finish off the Dark Knight when he does succumb to the sickness. Regardless, it's immensely difficult to not tear up just a little at seeing Alfred apologise to the collected corpses of his entire adopted family, before leaving to never return.
