Written by Jim Starlin; Art by Jim Aparo and Mike DeCarlo Batman readers were allowed to vote on the outcome of the story and they decided that Robin should die! As the second person to assume the role of Batman's sidekick, Jason Todd had a completely different personality than the original Robin. Rash and prone to ignore Batman's instructions, Jason was always quick to act without regard to consequences. In this fatal instance, Robin ignores his mentor's warnings when he attempts to take on the Joker by himself and pays the ultimate price. Driven by anger with Superman by his side, Batman seeks his vengeance as he looks to end the Joker's threat forever.

incredible read. i wasn't entirely sold on the first of four books that the antagonist was an interesting enough adversary but by the end i was convinced this would be an amazing film had anyone wished to pursue it. it depicts the vulnerability of cult followers. the methods by which they are recruited with narrative from citizens on the outside who are split on whether its leader is good or evil. even if you don't like batman this is an interesting read if you like these kinds of dark subject matters.
