What was your favourite death scene in the Burton Batman films?

Lieutenant Eckhart - "Hey Eckhart!  Think about the future."
Carl Grissom - "Is that you sugar bumps?"
Rotelli - "Antoine got a little hot under the collar."
Riscorso - "Hello Vinny.  It's your Uncle Bingo.  Time to pay the check!"
Becky the newsreader - " 'Where can I get these fine new items?'  Well, that's the gag!  Chances are you bought 'em already!"
Thomas and Martha Wayne - "Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"
Bob - "He stole my balloons!!  Bob!  Gun!" BANG!
The Joker - "ACK! ACK! ACK! ACK!"
The Ice Princess - "Rats with wings do your thing!"
The Fat Clown - "No, it's a lot!"
Max Shreck - "But in the meantime, how 'bout a kiss Anti-Claus?"
The Penguin - "But first I need a cool drink of ice water."
Voted Shreck, I love that death, ever since I first saw it when I was like 3, I've alwsy loved it, great death

Yeah, you.  Or didn't youy watch the film to the end?    ;)
Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof, alright? No big loss.



Great pics silenig.  Sorry I didn't include the Strong Man in the poll, but there is some debate as to whether he was killed or not, particularly from the 'purists' who are of the opinion that Batman does not kill.

Any chance of some more pics of the various deaths listed?

I think it's a given the strong man was killed. I can't see the guy being scared to death of a confetti bomb. Neither can I imagine a confetti bomb making one yelp in agony after the explosion. I suppose we can turn off our mind and pretend he lived, though.

Yep, I'll just turn the little switch at the back of my head off.   ;D

Seriously though, I'm not the one who originally suggested it was a confetti bomb.  This was an opinion I'd read elsewhere.  I don't think anyone seriously cares whether the Strong Guy lived or died; simply, that Batman doesn't kill unless in self-defence.  Personally, I'm ambivalent on the matter.

I believe Burton brought up the confetti bomb idea on the Returns commentary.
