      Death comes to us all, now in DC Finest! In 1988 the pop culture world was rocked when comics readers were given the opportunity to decide the outcome of one of the medium s most controversial quandaries: Should the Boy Wonder die? When Jason Todd s impulsive nature clashes with the Dark Knight s methodical approach to crime-fighting yet again, Jason takes off on his own in search of his birth mother. Meanwhile, Batman s latest case leads him to the Middle East, hot on the trail of the Joker, who is brokering the sale of a nuclear device to terrorists! Realizing that they must work together to prevent a global disaster and find Jason s long-lost mother, Batman and Robin reunite in time to thwart the Clown Prince of Crime. However, this setback sets in motion a far more sinister plot that ultimately leads to betrayal and a deadly date with a crowbar... The decision to kill off the second Robin drew polarized opinions from fans and critics and remains one of the most controversial story arcs in the history of the Caped Crusader. Would the Dark Knight slip into the darkness of the abyss without a Boy Wonder to hold him back? And would fans ever accept another wayward youth stepping into the role of Robin? Collects Batman #423 429, Batman Annual #12, Batman: The Cult #1 4, Detective Comics #590 595, Detective Comics Annual #1.
