No one dies in comics! Ever.... And it have been proven for even the longest death doesn't rest all these time. The latest batch of death and reborn would be on Captain America. He was killed when his ideals was rejected by his very friends and country or would I say selfish politicians that someone uses these events to kill off an icon that could turn tides and events at any moment. Captain America - Steve Roger was shot when he was in cuffs so he was killed unarmed and died a hero in the real world here when readers was shocked by the plot. In the comic world it seems he was labeled a criminal. So now after 2 years of having some 2nd rated Cap in the comics just doesn't work. He isn't the real deal and now the real Steve Roger will make his return soon. I might read to see if the plot to bring him back be some copy cat or an unique way.
Next to return from death is Barry Allen - The Flash. If you thought the Flash have been around all these time you are wrong. That Flash isn't the original. The original Flash, not that Jay Garrick version, was one of the few heroes that rub shoulders with Superman and Batman in the early 70s to 80s when he was killed in a crisis event. Then he remain as dead in status but he made appearance in either flashbacks or time travel. Go figure. This time round he is coming back for real. In another event that killed Batman, Barry is making his come back. What will the current Flash be is still waiting to be seen. He might retire with his family or Barry's return might be temporary. In any case, he will be in the pages of Green Lantern which will be one of the most readable issue since both heroes are best of friends.
Superman and Green Lantern had both "died" and return. Even Wonder Woman and Robin and some other minor supporting characters. All these death brought in new comers to replaced them. None seems to work long except for the Flash replacement who was Kid Flash from the original Titans. Now they are bringing back Flash after years. Don't expect Batman to stay dead. The reason is the same with Captain America and probably everyone else. The real deal is what readers want.
