10 Dumbest Ways Superheroes Have Died

5. Batman Has A Heart Attack

Of all the badass, tear-jerking, awe-inspiring ways we've seen Batman die over the years, him having a heart attack in the middle of a fight is perhaps the single lamest way the Dark Knight has gone out to date.

Which isn't to suggest that having a heart attack isn't a reasonable and very real way for any human to go out, but rather that, with the amount of absolutely insane and convoluted body conditioning Bruce has undergone - practically making every aspect of himself as close to superhuman as possible - he still wasn't able to do anything about potential heart palpitations.

Naturally, being the goshdang Batman, he is revived through some repressed alter-ego shenanigans, but it only leaves the whole brief death feeling all the more jarring - in no small part because said alter-ego is supposed to be an absolute last resort, meaning the Bat had no actual plan for such a possible scenario.
