@Leostales I know, but I'll be pissed if it's a fake out again.

The Joker's an extremely iconic character. If Tynion doesn't bring him back, someone else will.

Will you kill a golden goose?

I know this might not be the best example but they killed Alfred and in past kept Batman away for 2 years after Infinite Crsis. So who knows?

After Infinite Crisis he was away for one year in-universe. Not in publication time. The 52 event that was coming out filling the gap in-story. But concurrently the Batman titles remain coming out. I don’t know if that clause expired, but Bob Kane had one that if Batman ever went out of print the rights would revert to him.

@ScavengerOne

I think he meant Final Crisis.

@Leostales Yes, the time he was hit by Darkseid's Omega beams. It's possible that they can kill Joker for a few years before bringing him back, if they don't want to make it permanent.

Absolutely not. He is one of DC’s most valuable assets, second only to Batman and Superman. Even if they do kill him off, he’ll be back in under a week.

Yes
