Iggy here:
You never heard of the world famous mini-series "the Doomsday Death of
Superman"? (Then, of course, he dies a multitude of times in another
comic mini-series, "the Kingdom.)
Heck, if I asked my friend Bob (a veritable comic book guru), he would
probably tell me that ol' Supes has died hundreds of times.
Wonder Woman died, and was resurrected, and is now a goddess (last I
heard) of Justice. Diana Prince's mother is now the current Wonder
Woman...
But then, it also depends on what iteration of the DC universe you're
talking about, since they "reset" their worlds and continuity about
every 5-10 years... via mini-series' like "Crisis on Infinite Earths",
and "Zero Hour." (Unlike Marvel, which just tries to use odd and absurd
plot twists and other lame tools to just try to cover up their own
mistakes. Just read all the Spider Man series' to see what I mean...
especially the whole Peter Parker/Ben Reiley/Kane clones made by the
Jackal thing. I was a fan of Spider Man up until they tried to write up
that whole fiasco.) Yes, DC using their "resets" gets annoying at
times, but I really think Marvel could use a solid reboot to their
universe as well... or reboot to the head, at least... But I digress.
BTW: Batman - Intimidation (slated for 2005 release) has Christian Bale
as Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred, Cillian Murphy as the Scarecrow, and
rumors state that John Malkovitch is signed to play one of Batman's most
challenging of foes, Ra's al Ghul (one of my favorite of his
archenemies, btw).

the 2005, Tim Burton redo of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.")
