    birthday late in the evening. The recording blaring, spotlight shining, handgun discharged into the sky and elks heart, presumably, thawing on Nicholson’s doorstep.

Not even a twisted, evil person could resist crying when Mufasa died in “The Lion King”, or when Jack died in “Titanic”. In comic books, that feeling of grief is lost. There are only a…
