@anthracite I can’t remember seeing it before, but I made a promise to myself that if I ever ended up writing for Batman, I was going to be the one who killed the Joker off I’d make it a big long arc for a trade or two. But I would make damn sure that it was done unmistakably and permanently.
@kelseyhusky @anthracite it *is* weird how Comics Code history and plot armor means the Bat-mythos has all the primaries all being super grimdark - and yet never truly at risk of dying (that's for all the minor characters).
