There's really one major rule in superhero comics: dead heroes (and most villains) never stay dead (not even Bucky), and that's mostly because you can't just let a good intellectual property go to waste. Well, just because Damian Wayne died a rather heroic death in the pages of Batman Inc. #8, that doesn't mean he can't come back for a four issue mini-series that may or may not actually take place in continuity, right? And when it's Andy Kubert writing and drawing that mini-series, it's probably gonna be worth checking out.
Damian: Son of Batman is a four-issue mini-series that will be dedicated to "exploring the possible path that Damian has taken to become Batman" says Kubert. For their part, DC is stating that it takes place in "a possible future that may never be." Fans may remember that throughout his run on Batman, Grant Morrison periodically treated readers to glimpses of a grim future in which Damian had assumed the mantle of the bat. One of those issues was the Kubert-drawn Batman #666.
Damian: Son of Batman #1 hits shops on October 30th.
