DK III: The Master Race, Issue #6 is the Battle of Gotham, proper. By using the Flash's super speed, Batman and company seed the air with synthetic kryptonite in Issue #5, making the Kandor Kryptonians vulnerable. Now the millions of Gothamites form an angry mob against their would-be oppressors. The Kandorians flee Gotham; Lara is bested by her mother, Baal is bested by Batgirl using a slingshot and kryptonite. Then an errant eye beam hits the Batman, who apparently dies in Superman's arms, his last words about Carrie Kelley.
I don't usually post as many spoilers as I have for this series. I more try to interest readers into buying the comics and finding out for themselves what happens. This series is special, and the rules break down a little bit. Will Bruce Wayne die? For good? Will Carrie Kelley take over his mantle? I think the fact that Frank Miller wants to write a Dark Knight IV (Brian Azzarello mostly writes DK III) suggests that there will be an old, decrepit Bruce Wayne running around in a costume at some point in the future.
