1. Joker Last Laugh. It didn't stick. Someone was there to revive Joker.

I think the Joker has "died" more times (going back to his very first appearence in the 30/40s) than John Crichton and Darla combined, even if you aren't counting AUs.

Steph, had you not read Batgirl: Year One?

I just finished this the other night. It's really gooood.

That's truly impressive.

It?s like fans get really, really upset when a character gets killed, and I?m like, have you ever read a comic before? Your survival rate, if you die in a comic, is like 99.9 percent!

Moreso in Marvel than in DC, or at least that used to be the case.

I remember for a while in the 80's, the only character Marvel killed and kept dead was Guardian. A Canadian.

Didn't they eventually do a story where James Hudson did return, in EXACTLY the same manner as the extremely cheesy ruse Delphine Courtney used to get back at Heather?

I thought they killed the original Captain Marvel before that from cancer, and he hasn't returned.
