Theater fans and Superman fans have some fun in store for them this week when the Encore production of It's a Bird, It's Plane...It's Superman hits the stage with Edward Watts as Clark/Superman, Jenny Power as Lois Lane and Alli Mauzey as Sydney Carlton.

Sharing your favorite superheroes with your kids is one of the most reward parts of the fan experience, and DC has just launched a Fan Family mini site to promote their family friendly offerings.

Well, the task of being Batman's sidekick has claimed another life. Young Damian Wayne, the fruit of Batman's own loins, with killed in a battle with his clone brother in Batman, Incorporated #8. And not in a quick one panel zap, the way we used to do comic book deaths, but in a multi panel pummeling. Since Damian was a little brat for most of his 10 years, some people weren't that sad. But others were. The reactions have been many and varied. First and most poignantly the entire Batfamily is mourning on next month's somber covers, as revealed at Buzzfeed.

And there was much talk in the mediasphere as well, although without cool Greg Capullo covers. One thing's for sure...Damian wasn't the first Robin to die...and I'm guessing he won't be the last.
