Kill three Bat-Characters, bring three back to life

[durty dee]

Kill:

1) Two Face - he could be another friend lost. I only like to read his origins anyway.

2) Joker - HE NEEDS TO DIE! If he lives, he's just gonna murder more people.

3) Damien - reckless

Revive:

Damien - he'll even more reckless and unstable. Then he can be Batman's only child villian

A good Clayface character - He was sooooo great in BTAS. Why couldn't they translate that to the comics?

And somebody said Maxie Zeus... thats a good one.

[Shush]

Kill:

Spoiler/Batgirl

The current Azrael: Or at least turn him back into demon bats.

Leslie Thompkins

Bring back:

KGBeast: I hated the face the face arc. What a stupid way to kill off alot of characters for little to no payoff. KGBeast should be a match for Batman, not some cakewalk thug.

Jean Paul

Nyssa Raatko

Honorable mentions: Abattoir, Orpheus, a well written Jason Todd.

[Crimson Knightman]

Kill

New Ventriloquist/Peyton Riley
New Black Mask
Humpty Dumpty

Bring Back:

The original Ventriloquist/ Arnold Wesker
The original Black Mask
The original KGBeast (the one who could hold his own against Batman in hand to hand combat).

[Brack360]

... You do realize this is basically the same deal to all Batman villains, right?

3) Ra's Al Ghul & His Family (I've always hated this terrorist, never bought Batman would ever have anything to do with Talia, and I hope Damian is fed to Killer Croc)

Bring Back:

1) Jason Todd (I'd actually prefer him dead again instead of this "character" who seems to change personalities with each new storyline)

2) Joker (I know he's not dead, but I'm really sick of this one note serial killer; I don't care if they have to base him on Caesar Romero, just try and make him interesting again)

It's almost like you read my mind. :) I wouldn't go as far as killing Tim off though. I think he just needs some tweaking.

Maybe, but at least we don't see them as often.

[invisiboy]

Kill:
Stephanie Brown (no Batgirls have died -- here's a great chance)
Jason Todd
Damien Wayne (no Robins have stayed dead -- here's a great chance)

Bring back:
Babs' mobility
Earth-2 Robin
Helena Wayne

Kill
1. Damian. But only after revealing in no uncertain terms that he is not Bruce's son, because I don't want to see him that broken up about it.

2. Cassandra Caine. Because, good or evil, she adds nothing but a ridiculous set of abilties and a reuse of Azrael's origin. And while most them might be perfectly nice people, and they might have some legitamate gripes, I'm frankly just tired of her fans. I'd double-kill Hal Jordan for the same reason. Also, the Bat family is just too large for my tastes.

3. Two-Face. Not out of any dislike for the character. But because I'm tired of the "Reform/relapse" story playing out over and over. And because his death could really mean something to Bruce and Dick. With the right team, this could be an all-time great Batman story waiting to happen.

Revive.

1. Babara Gordon's legs. But gradually. I don't want a miraculous quick-fix that has her swinging and high-kicking overnight. We should see her struggle to recover and persevere. There are plenty of real people who've been told they wouldn't walk again and heroically overcame the odds, but it isn't easy.

2. Jean-Paul Valley. His death was somewhat ambiguous, wasn't it? I just think it'd be cool to see him come back during Dick's term as Batman, not neccessarily as a good guy.

3. Hush. I liked Loeb's story. I like what of I've seen of how Dini has been writing him. But he just doesn't feel like a character that should stick around. Especially now that he looks like Bruce. It's a great concept, but it can't last. And you can't mangle his face, as we don't really need another scarred super villain.
