Saddest Comic Movie Death - Gen. Discussion

Who in a comic book movie who died did you guys find the saddest? The death of The Penguin in Batman Returns did it for me. Danny Elfman's sad music, the dark atmosphere and the icing on top...the penguins giving oswald the watery funeral :'(

I question whether she's truly dead.

She survived a flood

Doubt a bunch of claws would take her out.

That was probably sad due to the impact it had on his son, not because of the character itself.

No, it was sad for the character. All he wanted to do was kill Spider-man, and the world wouldn't even let him do that.

Because he's a villain?

Either Jonathan Kent's death on Smallville, or Rorschach's death in Watchmen.

Rachel Dawes in The Dark Knight.

@JSH92: probably didn't care enough for the character to actually feel anything when it happened, or to notice/relate to any pain the characters could have felt.

#47 Posted by ImmortalOne (2427 posts) - 11 months, 5 days ago - Show Bio

1. Rorschach's death

2. Agent Coulson's death

3. Big Daddy in Kick-Ass, for making me actually sad when Nick Cage died in a film.
