It’s one of the most infamous Batman stories ever told: A Death in the Family (1988).
Zach and Mike dive into the four-part saga where Jason Todd, the second Robin, went toe-to-toe with the Joker…and fans literally voted whether he would live or die. We break down the story beat by beat: Jason’s search for his real mother, Joker’s wild plan to sell a cruise missile in the Middle East, Ayatollah Khomeini making Joker a U.N. ambassador, Superman sucking up poison gas with “vacuum breath,” and of course—the brutal crowbar scene that sealed Jason’s fate.
Along the way, we cover the behind-the-scenes history of the 900-number call-in vote, Jim Starlin’s dislike of Robin, and how close Jason actually came to surviving (spoiler: just 72 votes).
It’s comic book history, comedy, and chaos—the BFH way. Part of Our Rockin’ Robin Summer.
