Super Sunday (Part 6): A Sombre Send-Off For A Faithful Friend In ‘Batman Pennyworth R.I.P.’ #1 Preview

We wind up our Super Sunday Batman Special Edition on a sombre note with a look at Batman Pennyworth R.I.P. #1, out this Wednesday 12th February.
Alfred Pennyworth has been one of the dependent constants in Bruce Wayne’s life, but now he is gone and all that is left is to remember him, celebrate his life and mark his death. Which is exactly what DC Comics is doing with the publication of Batman Pennyworth R.I.P. one-shot. An appropriately sombre and silent preview below sets the tone for this forthcoming release by writers James Tynion IV, Peter J. Tomasi and artists Eddy Barrows, Eber Ferreira and more.

Alfred Pennyworth served the Wayne family for decades-even through the tragic loss of Bruce Wayne’s parents. His death at the hands of Bane is the only event that could possibly compare to that fateful night in Crime Alley, and it leaves Bruce at a similar crossroads. If Alfred was the glue that held the Bat-Family together, how will Batman deal with that all falling apart? And if the Caped Crusader is to be truly alone, he might either hang that cape up once and for all…or double down and carry on with this vengeful quest forever. Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P. #1 celebrates the life of one of the most important people in the history of Gotham City, while also addressing questions about what’s next.
