Batman's beloved sidekick and son may not last much longer.

In fact, he is scheduled to be killed off in the next DC comic.

Comic writer Grant Morrison released a statement about his decision to kill off Robin, who is also the son of Batman.

"This master theme of damaged and ruined families was nowhere more in evidence than in the creation of Damien, the first "Son of Batman" to be acknowledged in the canon. In many new ways this has been Damian's story as much as it has been the story of Bruce Wayne and it's a story that had its' end planned a long time ago - for what son could ever hope to replace a father like Batman, who never dies?"

Wayne will die in Wednesday's Batman, Incorporated #8.

The FBI announced the discovery of a notebook mailed from Colorado shooter James E. Holmes to a university professor on Wednesday.

Officials told media that the notebook featured detailed writings and illustrations mapping out plans for a mass murder.

Police found the notebook after Holmes described it in grave detail on Monday.

Holmes' attack on moviegoers during a Batman screening left 12 dead and 58 injured.

Ann Curry returned to 'Today' on Friday.

The former co-anchor, who was replaced by Samantha Guthrie last month, reported live from Colorado after a horrific shooting shook the nation.

The shooting left 12 people dead after 24 year old James Holmes attacked them  during a Batman movie screening.

Curry is expected to co-host this weekends' edition of 'Today' with Guthrie.
