Would the stories match up, or would they all be accounts of a different man, a different person? Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert take a crack at a possible answer in their tribute to the Dark Knight, Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?The story begins with the funeral-goers gathering for the deceas...
