Batman readers were allowed to vote on the outcome of the story and they decided that Robin should die! As the second person to assume the role of Batman's sidekick, Jason Todd had a completely different personality than the original Robin. Rash and prone to ignore Batman's instructions, Jason was always quick to act without regard to consequences. In this fatal instance, Robin ignores his mentor's warnings when he attempts to take on the Joker by himself and pays the ultimate price. Driven by anger with Superman by his side, Batman seeks his vengeance as he looks to end the Joker's threat forever.

Batman Arkham: Two-Face
Dennis O'Neil
An unprecedented anthology of the greatest Two-Face stories ever told. He was Harvey Dent, Gotham City's crusading district attorney and one of the Batman's closest allies, until an act of vengeance changed everything. With the left side of his face horribly deformed, Dent's mind shattered. One half of his personality remained the law-abiding D.A., the other became a crazed, murderous villain who calls himself Two-Face! Scarring one side of his "lucky" two-headed silver dollar, the criminal allows the coin to choose his actions-good or evil, there is nothing else.

New Teen Titans
Vol 2, #9-16
The original Teen Titans always stood in the shadows of their larger-than-life mentors — young heroes like Robin, Wonder Girl and Kid Flash saw plenty of action, but it was Batman, Wonder Woman and the Flash who ultimately called the shots.

All that changed, however, with the arrival of THE NEW TEEN TITANS in 1980 — and the lives of DC’s adolescent adventurers would never be the same!

Crafted by comics legends Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, this all-new super-team featured greater dangers, fiercer emotions and more tangled relationships than any that had come before. The Titans’ celebrated stories have ensured that the names of Starfire, Cyborg, Raven and the Changeling will be passed down through history alongside those famous aliases employed by Dick Grayson, Donna Troy and Wally West.

Now, for the first time, all of Wolfman and Pérez’s NEW TEEN TITANS tales are available in a comprehensive series of trade paperback editions. THE NEW TEEN TITANS VOLUME TWO collects the issues #9-16 of the classic title, and includes an enlightening introduction from Wolfman on the crafting of these acclaimed stories.
