Bruce Wayne's death marks the end of an era. Comic book fans, young and old, have been fascinated by the story of a young boy, who watches helplessly as his parents are gunned down by an unknown man in a dark alley. Yes, there is something about a dark and violent death of one's parents which creates bestsellers. Harry Potter showed us that. The brutal way in which Harry's parents are killed by Voldemort has definitely played a big part in making Harry the icon that he is for so many Potter fans. Even today, one cannot read those passages without feeling a lump in one's throat for the "Boy Who Lived".

But Bruce Wayne is, or now was, in a league of his own. Superman too may have lost his parents, along with his entire world, but his loss never really affected us in the way Bruce's did. Perhaps it was because he made a new beginning on Earth; perhaps because he was able to find a meaningful relationship with Lois Lane, perhaps his fondness for his foster-mom's apple pie made him "normal". Superman was a hero without a dark side and we watch or read him more for his tricks: super speed, X-ray vision etc. rather than see him be Clark Kent.
