What Happened To Everyone Who Killed Batman?

10. Bill Jensen

Bill who? Exactly.

For even some of the most ardent of comic book readers, the name Bill Jensen will mean nothing. In actuality, Jensen is one of those rare few to have 'killed the Batman' on their résumé.

That particular demise of the Dark Knight came in the aptly titled Death of Batman from 1979's Adventure Comics #462. A larger part of the Only Legends Live Forever! run, here we're introduced to a Bill Jensen, who quickly establishes himself as a major player.

Seeking revenge on an older Bruce Wayne who is now Gotham's Commissioner, Jensen gets Bruce's attention by killing several members of the Justice Society of America. Not just that, but not even the extensive, combined powers of Doctor Fate and Green Lantern could stop Bill's roaring rampage of rage.

When a suited Bruce meets Jensen at Gotham Towers, the rogue's anger is such that his abilities reach a level of distorted hatred that he's unable to control - killing himself and Batman as a result.

The kicker here, though, is that this is an Earth-2 tale, meaning this death was the death of an alt-world Batman.
