A Death in the Family

Story arc »

The ground-breaking story where people got to vote on the fate of Jason Todd, the second Robin.

Do you still like Joker after he brutally killed Robin II?

Well, when I discoverd it, I refused to admit for some days Joker was still my fav. But after... I just thought:' Oh, God, he deserved a severe spanking. To hell with Jason Todd.' What about you?

That happened like two decades ago. I think most of us have gotten over the shock.

I love the Joker for it because it shows that no mater what he does Batman will never kill him. With that one act Joker drew a line in the sand and dared Batman to cross it and prove how far he is willing to go. It took Batman almost 15 years before he got close to that line again in the Hush storyline and even then he walked away. Joker shows the ability to get under Batman's skin and that is why I will always love him. A Death in the family was Jokers coup de gratis...

It's kind of part of Joker's psycho killer character. I hated when he crippled Babs Gordon and tormented Comm. Gordon with pics, but you move beyond that because it is those things that make him a great villain. The Joker is supposed to be a terrifying crazed killer, not a nice clown you want to invite to your birthday.

What a gentleman. Getting rid of all the bad boyfriends out there. I think you may end up with a lot of Harley Quinn's coming after you if you did away with bad boyfriends. :o)

I'm glad Jason died because now it means we were giving my favorite Robin Tim Drake.

#22 Posted by John Valentine (15814 posts) - 4 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio
I like him all the more.
#23 Posted by G'bandit (13689 posts) - 4 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

technically he imade a better jason..just likehe's other creations lol :p

#24 Posted by _Obsidian_ (5027 posts) - 4 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

I never really liked the Joker anyway. He serves a purpose and shouldn't be killed yet...he's just annoying IMO. The death of Jason Todd did make some good things, though it made some bad things too (COUNTDOWN X_X)

#25 Posted by Korg (11931 posts) - 4 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

Joker didn't kill him, the fans did. How can you hold it against Joker? Besides, he had it comin.

#26 Posted by Mighty Thorion (797 posts) - 4 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

Unfortunately, DC decided to bring Jason Todd back again (My pet hate is when comic companies bring dead characters back to life - why bother killing them in the first place?) - and in the meantime Tim Drake came along (just as unfortunate). One day they might appreciate that Batman no longer needs a partner - he is a loner and fights best in that role.

#27 Posted by LumCheng (3 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

lolol, if the people, who voted, would've known, what would happen to Batman after Jason's death, they'd have voted for his life XDDD
I mean, all the drama and Bruce going depri and feeling responsible for his death... this 'omg, Jason got killed' is still up in the new comics, so... XD

But to answer the question - I never liked Joker THAT much. he's a brilliant character, no doubt, but after this he's definitely on my shit-list forever!! lol
Yes, I loved Jason, I love the new Red Hood and I'll never forget, what Joker did to him T_T

#28 Posted by EisforExtinction (1908 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

Dude, villains do bad things. I think Joker is a top tier Batman villain (not my favorite but I can see why people like him). But he's always done heinous stuff haven't you noticed?

@danhimself: amen brother I say Go TIM WAYNE
#30 Posted by zero man (237 posts) - 2 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

yes i still like him

#31 Posted by longbowhunter (3731 posts) - 2 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

Jason Todd was an arrogant little shit. Thats why fans voted him dead. You dont see fans wanting Tim dead do you? As big a jerk as Damian is he is still well liked. Joker did everyone a favor.
