So did Bruce [i]actually[/i] die in the Knightfall Protocol? If heard he faked his death in front of everyone so they'd think Bruce Wayne was dead and villains wouldn't have a reason to harm people close to him (like how Green Goblin kidnapped Aunt May when he found out Spider-Man was Peter Parker) and he could still be Batman.

Remember that Batman doesn't mean everything that he says. He tells her he won't call her or anything like that. I think he meant he literally won't call, instead he will just show up for her. I believe it was all an act to seem like a jerk and he's more literal than he lets on. Just my take...
