The whole reason they killed Hal was because his comics sales were dying. People stopped caring about Green Lantern, so it couldn't have been TOO heart breaking. Although, after they killed him, his popularity went way up. Lots of people started buying back issues. lol
Steven Vega Hal Jordan becoming Parallax is tragic because the good natured adult of The Greatest Green Lantern Ever Known is gone because of Cyborg Superman and Mongul blowing up Star City killing everyone Green Lantern loved even his father and Carol Ferris/his Lover. Driven to madness, he becomes Parallax to satisfy his twisted desires and left Earth for conquest. Leaving Kyle Rayner as The Last Green Lantern left.
@@Parallaxus I think he meant Infinite Crisis. I some times use my tablet to make comments and tablets are jerks some times. Conner Kent's death and OG Superman deaths were heart breaking.
@Musab Qureshi ikr Him getting killed by the rogues hit me the hardest. Everyone thought he was this ADHD of a kid who thought everything was a joke but deep down bart was the best
When Stephanie died, the plans to supplement Gotham's vigilante call system were out the window. Idea was, if Bruce ever failed to answer the Bat Signal, they'd have just paged Stephanie on her Spoiler Alert.
Okay... now make a list that includes deaths after the year 2000. Damian Wayne's death is personally the most tragic thing I've read. He died a true hero. I was crying like a baby when he said his goodbye to Dick knowing he would die. Batman did went to extreme lengths to get his son back.
Tragic? Damian was an idiot who got himself killed. He deserved to die given that he's a murderous psychopath, killing people in cold blood thereby disregarding his father's no kill rule. He was no hero, he never rescued a single person in his life. He's a monster who deserved what he got.
I remember years ago I had been on the fence about Superhero comics for the longest, then I was so obsessed with Batman after the movies and games i decided to pick up the newest Batman comic and it just so happened to be the end of final crisis where he died. Every story thereafter was about Robin and his son, I was pissed.
Johnathon Kent also died(at almost exact moment) when Supes died fighting Doomsday. Superman #75 featured Clack and Johnathon talking after their "deaths".
How about Lois (and entire Metropolis) death? From Injustice universe. While the story was originated from the game, it was adopted officially to DC comics later. That was heartbreaking and horrifying.
I remember how floored I was at the death of Tim Drake’s father in Identity Crises. The intensity of Batman trying to get Tim back home in time. The fear in both Tim and Bruce for what is about to happen. Finally, Batman holding Tim as he loses it while staring at the bodies of both Captain Boomerang and Jack Drake on the floor. It was a very hopeless feeling.
Glenn Johnson OMG! Sarah Essen-Gordon's death was so devastating. I don't think even "The Killing Joke" came close to showing how evil The Joker truly was. :,(
GA Super Man and Lois, Connor Kent, Bart Allen, Ferro Lad....So many deaths that beat several deaths on this list. Superman was highly publicized prior to it happening, Jason was literally what the fans wanted. That being said, Pa Kent, Barry, Kara, and Sue all belong on this list. Now it goes without saying though that THE MOST TRAGIC DC death of all time was Batgirl in B:TAS
the og death of superman was pretty sad. Superman died protecting the people he loved and cared about. That last shot of Lois holding him in her arms is such a powerful panel to this day
Identity Crisis is no longer in continuity. Ted Kord is alive again. It is unknown what elements of COIE happened as Convergence threw that into doubt. The Rebirth universe is still in flux with both Doomsday Clock and the events of Metal changing everything. The Superman Reborn Arc and The Flash War will also have made reality changes. With his renewed popularity on tv Ralph Dibny may return.
Bets btamna death is Endgame the one in final crisis just felt like it came out of nowhere there was no build up it's a gd moment but it's a pretty underwhelming death seen as if he didn't say to darksied exactly his plan he coudlvd just killed him and survived
PrinceOJr see man reviews can be subjective. It's all like the one who is first in the game is the best. Take for example Apple with relations to smartphones. OnePlus phones though offering much better value for money still can't compete with iphones cause an iPhone is an iPhone . I think that's the case here bro.
Zorastorm 32 Agreed. "Man of Steel", "Batman v Superman" and "Wonder Woman were some of the best live action films in DC's history. For them to demote Snyder so drastically and destroy his "Justice League" film. It was heartbreaking. :,(
Not always. In the comics, there are a few instances in which Jonathan Kent dies after Clark becomes Superman. In "Man of Steel", Clark chooses to use his abilities to help others long before Jonathan Kent's death. It's his mother saving him when he was in grade school that was his inspiration.
one of these days dc are going to have to keep a main character dead forever, otherwise all these constant revivals will lose all meaning and will just worsen the stance of the character(s)
Stephanie Brown didn't die. It was a ruse by her and Leslie to teach Batman a lesson about using kids in his war on crime. Stephanie returned a short time later as the new Batgirl.
Flash: What is your superpower again?
Batman: I have plot armor
Batman didn't die he just time traveled
We didn't know that at the time
Batman clone was such a hoax he died in my opinion it was pretty well written the Neil Gaiman story wrapped things up for me.
Neil what?
@@sanketower Neil Gaiman. One of the most far out writers of our times. ex: How would you feel about life if death was your older sister?
But the writer was Grant "drugs" Morrison, not Neil Gaiman...
6:10 wearing a mask under a helmet... Nice
lupin the cat woah did you see his frown when the lighting strikes.
How you choose to ignore Hal Jordan as Parallax... I have no idea... It was one of the most iconic deaths of one of the greatest...

Dick Grayson's death in Injustice is pretty heartbreaking too
Ted Kord's death made me ashamed of ever making fun of him.
Just Some Guy with a Mustache why are you everywhere...
Just Some Guy with a Mustache True
Can you finally piss off? You're more annoying that moron with Mowgli and Baloo on his avatar.
Totally, he uncovered the conspiracy and everybody ignored him because he was a relaxed character
true
Since I was younger, Ice's death and Guy's subsequent downward spiral was always intriguing to me
Not even having an honorable mention for Conner Kent's death infant crisis come on
Nobody cares about "infant" crises, apparently.
The Comic Book Guy That one was so devastating. I was in as many tears as Wonder Girl. :,(
How about OG Superman in Infinite Crisis? It was a much more heart breaking then when new Superman died from doomsday.
@@Parallaxus I think he meant Infinite Crisis. I some times use my tablet to make comments and tablets are jerks some times. Conner Kent's death and OG Superman deaths were heart breaking.

Superboy’s death at the end of Infinite Crisis #6 should have definitely been on the list. Truly heroic and unforeseen.
Death of Golden Age Superman should have made the list too. OG Superman.
Barry Allen's death in the Crisis on Infinite Earth series was truly heroic.
Hunteress’ death broke my heart

Tellula Popo actually it was confirmed he was older now. I think around 13-14.
@@isaiahowens5322 he was 10 when it happened
I love the question! Aglets are the plastic tips of shoelaces and they have a sinister purpose --- the question
Night wings sudden death in the injustice comic was heartbreaking as hell
to answer The Question: Yes. yes i would.
First time n along time, Jason wasn't shitted on. Thank you watch Mojo your best top 10..
4:48 Actually, Ted Kord is one of the smartest Superheroes out there. His intellegence rivals batman's.

Top ten avatar the last Airbender moments
Green lantern kyle rayner(not sure how to spell his last name 😂) his death was BRUTAL!!
Damian Wayne, Conner Kent, Ronnie Raymond and Martian Manhunter should’ve been on this list in some way or form.
I haven't been this early since the Wayne's went into Crime Alley…
Hunter X05 Too soon
Henry Robles IT WAS THE 30'S!
Flash deserves to be #1
Saved the Multiverse
and kicked started the Post Crisis era

Top 10 DC Betrayals
It’s sad when Supergirl and The Flash died in Crisis on Infinite Earths.
At least the flash was just in the speed force
I agree. Very very sad.
Super happy Jason Todd was in the top 3.
Every time i see question, all i can think about is...
"Uh-ohh, fell in love again, what am I gonna tell my friends..."
Fans: OMG Jason's death was so sad!
DC: THEN WHY DID YOU ASK FOR IT?
What about the death of nightwing in injustice that to me was heartbreaking
About time !
half of time when i hear that someone dies i'm just like "wait they died"
I remember how floored I was at the death of Tim Drake’s father in Identity Crises. The intensity of Batman trying to get Tim back home in time. The fear in both Tim and Bruce for what is about to happen. Finally, Batman holding Tim as he loses it while staring at the bodies of both Captain Boomerang and Jack Drake on the floor. It was a very hopeless feeling.
DC IS LOVE, DC IS LIFE!
Also young justice season 3 HYPE!!
King Merck dc is shit and will always be shit compared to marvel
Is that what you were trying to say my friend?
@@laciehinds7768 marvel is only better on movies everything else like comics, cartoons and video games DC is by far superior
Lacie Hinds Marvel sucks
Damn these deaths are tough
Nice video bro
The Question’s death was the saddest for me. And the saddest part is, they never brought him back.
What about Sarah Essen-Gordon? What about Troia?
Glenn Johnson OMG! Sarah Essen-Gordon's death was so devastating. I don't think even "The Killing Joke" came close to showing how evil The Joker truly was. :,(
Firestorm should have at least been an honorable mention
5:00 TOP 10 anime betrayals... lol
Conner did not die in the Infinite Crisis just to not even get an honorable mention.
GA Atom, GA Crimson Avenger, GA Mr Terrific, in fact pretty much every GA death is more heartbreaking than Jason Todd.
GA Super Man and Lois, Connor Kent, Bart Allen, Ferro Lad....So many deaths that beat several deaths on this list. Superman was highly publicized prior to it happening, Jason was literally what the fans wanted. That being said, Pa Kent, Barry, Kara, and Sue all belong on this list. Now it goes without saying though that THE MOST TRAGIC DC death of all time was Batgirl in B:TAS
I do wonder though why Sue gets an entry, but Ralph only gets an essentially honorary mention.
Nightwing in the "Injustice" canon.
The gun Batman used to shoot Darksied was used to kill Metron it was used to kill Orion
i was sad when Raven from teen titans died
If nightwing from injustice ain't here...
3:18 Because im Batman!
Flash and batman are two of my favorite super heroes ever and flashes death still haunts me 😨
Wait I thought Bats was sent back in time and Superman was only put into a coma so both of them weren't actually dead.
Thomas Wayne was trying to save his family, he deserves to be on this list.
batman didn't even die in the first place he went back in time
the og death of superman was pretty sad. Superman died protecting the people he loved and cared about. That last shot of Lois holding him in her arms is such a powerful panel to this day
Not even a single death from Injustice, Arrow, Shazam, Robin, Luice Lane
Theres so much death in earth 2
3:19 he came back, wanna know why???
BECAUSE HES BATMAN!
Even when Jason became red hood he still wear the mask.
Batman didn't died he was sent back in time

The only reason I read Death of Superman was because I wanted to see him die. Far from heartbreaking
Im surprised the death of Nightwing from the Injustice series didnt make the cut
Why did you close up on Supergirl when you said death of character as part of an origin story? She died during the Crisis on Infinite Earths?
The only thing heartbreaking about the death of Superman is that they brought him back and all these comic books I have of that story are worthless.
death of Superman by Doomsday was boring.
Honorable mention. Snyder's five part Superman centric film series. This death is one of the most devastating. :,(
Cool vidoe
Where's Conner Kent and Jack Drake?!??
Conner Kent had the sadist death, a man who wore the S but could never truly be superman and died during crisis event.
Bets btamna death is Endgame the one in final crisis just felt like it came out of nowhere there was no build up it's a gd moment but it's a pretty underwhelming death seen as if he didn't say to darksied exactly his plan he coudlvd just killed him and survived
Hmm... this was today, cool 😎
Superboy in Legion of Superheroes #38. The Greatest Hero of them All.
Uuuuummmm martian manhunter anyone?
No 1 on the list make me sad
Batman never died. He was just sent into the past. Come on, WatchMojo!
" the line " kills every robin unless batman crosses it
# 1 dc extended universe killed by zack snyder
goku son not yet bro . Just compare the first dceu movie with the first MCU movie in 2007. DC by standards is far ahead of that movie .
Kalyanashis Dasgupta Ironman (2008) was better than Man of Steel lmao what are you talking about?
Man of Steel? The one with a 55%?

You forgot about SUPERBOY,GREEN ARROW,KID FLASH, SUPER MAN FROM EARTH 2,AND GREEN LANTERN
What’s ironic is that Jonathan Kent is actually part of Superman’s origin story XD
Not always. In the comics, there are a few instances in which Jonathan Kent dies after Clark becomes Superman. In "Man of Steel", Clark chooses to use his abilities to help others long before Jonathan Kent's death. It's his mother saving him when he was in grade school that was his inspiration.
where is the flash in crisis on infinite earths he was gone for 20+ years so that was really sad..
It's only tragic if they stay dead but I digress...
Why not hal jordan death as parallax, the reactions of batman and superman at the end is amazing
Woah a WatchMojo video not bashing DC?
one of these days dc are going to have to keep a main character dead forever, otherwise all these constant revivals will lose all meaning and will just worsen the stance of the character(s)
Flash death was heartbroken was great hero
No Batman or Superman death is in any way heartbreaking, because you know for 100% certainty it is only temporary.
Rorschach should’ve been an honorable mention
Batman CAN NOT and May NOT Die no matter in witch multi universe he is PERIOD 😃😄😄😄
Red Son universe
The Batman who laughs did die sooo
You broke your rule Jonathan Kent dieing is part of the origin story of Superman
3:11 Batman should have gone for the head.
Stephanie Brown didn't die. It was a ruse by her and Leslie to teach Batman a lesson about using kids in his war on crime. Stephanie returned a short time later as the new Batgirl.
