    Hmmm, cleaver marketing for BATMAN #676? :-P

    Heh. I thought it was either tied to that or the Dark Knight viral marketing campaign when I first saw it.

    I wonder if that’s actually someone’s last name… Could be either of the marketing ploys the first two people have mentioned though. Weird…

    Batman is a legitimate surname; it’s a variation of Bateman (or maybe vice versa).

    If the person buried ahed of Batman was Stark instead of Starkweather, that would be plain bizarre . It would seem as though this was where billionaire crimefighters claim their final resting spots.

    He’s also buried in the small town of Sullivan, Illinois. Saw a stone just like that at my great uncle’s funeral several years ago…

    I’m looking for a B. Atman. B. Atman? That’s a Moe’s Tavern prank call waiting to happen.

    The one behind BATMAN looks like BANNER to me.

    It should have “Final Crisis 6″ carved in at the bottom, plus RIP added.
