It is faster, better tasting, generally more convenient, and all-around geekier to cook bacon in the microwave. Put 4 slices on a dinner plate and cook on high for six minutes. Adjust cooking time for bacon thickness and desired level of crispyness. After cooking dry on paper towels for a few minutes. Try this once and you will never go back to the pan again.
Paper towels are microwave safe, so you could just skip the last step by microwaving the bacon in between layers of paper towels.
A LOT of fat gets rendered so I'd advise against that. I considered it at first but I think you'll just end up with a messy microwave, and I bet the paper towels stick to the bacon. I'll add one tip for cleanup: let the fat cool and congeal on the plate, put dish soap and cold water over it, cross-hatch the congealed fat with a fork to expose more surface area to the soapy water, let it soak a couple minutes, then the "squares" of fat wash off the plate and down the drain easily.
