Red Hood Kills Joker

Joker finished Jason Todd or so he thought, Todd came back from Lazarus pit and was after joker’s life since then but Wayne never allowed him to follow this path.

While mourning, an alternate Joker invites trouble by mocking Jason, he then killed that Joker forever by devastating his skull with a rock before he left earth-51.

Todd Kills His Teachers And The Untitled
