batman his parents got shot, superman their planet exploded, flash(barry) reverse flash killed mom dad died in prison, green lantern (hal jordan), dad died in plane crash, dick greysom parents died at circus, tim drake parents murdered, jason todd mom got sick dad murdered, and i am sure there are many more
so why does dc have to kill off everyones parents?
Is Marvel really any better? The only hero who I can think of whose parents are alive is Thor. Apparently you have to be an orphan to be a hero.
well I'm just going to put this suit on and be a hero and................now I'm an orphan.- every comic book character ever.
This was one thing that made Tim so different from other Robins. His Dad was alive and well. It was a real conflict of interest for him lying to his father all the time but still wanting to be Batman's partner.
@knighthood: but their deaths arent what inspired them to be heroes
