In the dark here. I really liked this character both as Azrael and his stint as Batman, post Knightfall. I collected the original Azrael series, but never knew what happened to Jean Paul. I read that someone else has taken over as Azrael? Anybody know?

Yea he's dead for sure cause he had a brief resurection in Blackest Night. Not sure how he died though. His replacement as Azreal is ok.

Does anyone know how and when he died?

@gotham-nudist:

It was implied that he died at the end of his series when Biis shot him and they both fell off a building. However his body was never found so it was questionable if he was truly dead. However a few years later-due mostly to Didio being a prick by giving the fans who wanted him to return the middle finger-showed him as a Black Lantern zombie facing the Scarecrow before never being seen again. It was never explained what became of his body after Batman after all people couldn't find it.

So now that the new 52 is on, who thinks that they might bring back Valley with it? If not then the writers are total pricks
