azrael226 ... Readers never truly bonded with Todd and, in 1988, DC made the controversial decision to poll readers using a 1-900 number as to whether or not Todd should be killed. The event received more attention in the mainstream media than any other comic book event before it. Some outside the comic book community thought that DC was considering killing the original Robin. Readers voted "yes" by a small margin (5,343 to 5,271) and Todd was subsequently murdered by the Joker in the A Death in the Family storyline, in which the psychopath beat the youngster severely with a crowbar, and left him in a warehouse rigged with a bomb.

Answer 1

Different writers did their own thing. DC is trying to clean up the stories across the board with an infinity series. Things are really weird from "one universe to another". You are essentially correct though. I saw it on the history channel. The rest is questionable.

Answer 2

Dick Grayson is the original Robin, he is now Nightwing. Jason Todd was the second Robin who was killed by the Joker. He did beat him with a crowbar and blow him up. He was dead. The current Robin is Tim Drake. The second Robin was somehow brought back to life during the Infinite Crisis storyline. Robin 2 is now a vigilante called Red Hood .

Answer 3

no joker killed the first one by luring robin to try to go solo and he shot him
Two is now nightwing
and three is still around is he Not?
Edit:
1. nightwing
2. Died like i said
3. Joined Teen titans
4. Still around even though girl

Answer 4

sevenendings is correct. Now, all together now: Booooo! Booooo! I've read way too many Jason Todd stories in my time, and I wish I had at the time been able to vote against the little poop.
