Thanks for telling us about this as I hadn't heard of it and I would have missed this one if you hadn't said anything. It seems to me as they are remembering the death of the idea of batman more than anything else as all of the characters in the funeral are from different parts of the batman legend. The riddler at the funeral seems to be the one from the cheesy 60's tv show, for example.

The alfred story is very clever, but I'm more interested in hearing what the joker and two-face, the two characters who arguably made batman who he is, have to say.
