I just want you to know that the situation has escalated again: Batman has been murdered!
That's right, Batman and a few of his lackeys were killed when troops of the prosecutioner's office ambushed them and fired thermobaric RPG ammo at their cars.
...We are talking about the Ukrainian rebel Alexander Bednov aka "Batman" the leader of the Batman battalion.

Apparently this execution/murder was part of an ongoing power struggle amongst the rebels as the Pro-Russian leader Igor Plotnitski is getting rid of his opposition and purging the other popular rebel leaders, particularly those who want to form a sovereign country in East Ukraine rather than joining Russia.
This may cause some infighting but the pro-independence rebels are pretty much out of luck because their main source of support and resources had been Russia and if they are getting swept aside they aren't getting much help...
