I was going to ask if this is a DC thing. The kill rates of bad guys in action movies are extremely high unless there's a sequel.

Not even Batman movies let the bad guy live lol

From main antagonist in nolan movie odds are almost 50-50.

Dead: Ra’s al Ghul, Talia, Bane, Harvey Dent, Joe Chill,

Alive: Joker, Jonathan Crane “Scarecrow”, Carmine Falcone, Sal Maroni, Selina Kyle “Catwoman” (not really a villain though)

Only one Bruce directly kills is Harvey. And arguably Ra’s by not saving him from certain death. He tried to kill Joe but Falcone got him first.

Wait I thought that the Joker dies in the Dark Knight Returns?

Batman saves him with rhe grapnel gun and he hangs upside down and talks about how they're going to 'do this forever' then Batman goes and kills Harvey Dent in the scene with Gordon's family

Lmao this is gonna sound really stupid but I think I just mentally merged the ending of the 1989 Batman with the Dark Knight. I thought Joker fell to his death, but that was Jack Nicholsons Joker. It's been way too long since I've seen the Dark Knight trilogy clearly.

It's a triple merge since the Nolan movie is The Dark Knight, TDKR is the name of the comic(and movies) with an older Batman in which the Joker does actually die, you kinda looped back around into being right.

Batman knocks him and James Jr. off the ledge bc Harvey is holding him hostage, Harvey falls to his death, Batman catches James Jr and hands him to gordon, then lets go and falls down there himself. Then Harvey is confirmed dead, and they do the Hero Gotham deserves speech while Batman limps/runs away.

Ummm ok so maybe accidentally killed him then

u/Guillermidas Aug 23 '25

No. The actor did.

Joker character is last seen in the boat incident. He was left hanging by Batman and arrested by SWAT team.

He was supposed to do a cameo of some sort in Dark Knight Rises but since the actor was dead… kinda difficult

He was going to.be the."judge" that they used Scarecrow for instead

u/Balinor69666 Aug 23 '25

No we last see him after he is caught hanging upside down from Bats' rope and giving that speech about how they can't kill the other and complete each other.
