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!"

I guess falling symbolizes the fall from power, evil schemes etc., brought down to where you belong.
Good point. It applies to quite a few of them.

It was meant to represent Batman's fall from grace, at least as far as the public were concerned.  In her case, there was also the added irony of her death 'successfully' activating the Christmas tree lights, a task she had apparently found difficult to get her head around whilst she was still alive...

Falling to one's death is also one of the biggest cliches ever in the history of motion pictures, as we have indeed seen it transpire in numerous films over the years. With the Ice Princess being a walking cliche herself (narcissistic, attractive blonde with a low intelligence quotient), it's very fitting her death keeps within this narrative.

Only if you avoid unidentifiable dump truck's carrying kitty litter.

Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof, alright? No big loss.

The Joker's death at the end of 89 is it for me for sure, truly iconic.


I have given a name to my pain, and it is BATMAN.
