Talk:Joe Chill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From the article... "Batman, who was temporarily wearing his father's old bat costume"

Batman's father had a bat costume?

Yes. In one addition to the story it was revealed that Bruce based the Batman costume on one that had been worn by his father to a costume party where he apprehended some hoods - hence his murder was ordered.Timrollpickering 6 July 2005 15:34 (UTC)


Modern Age Version revision As seen in 2006's [Infnite Crisis] #6, Joe Chill is confirmed to murdering Thomas and Martha Wayne, which is undoing what the events of Zero Hour established 12 years ago.

Although there should be a mention of this in the near future, I realize that we should wait until more information is revealed. The upcoming series [52 (comics)] may help. --Captain Cook 01:11, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Where in IC #6 is this? --Chris Griswold 11:33, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Enda80 here

Don't forget that for Earth-1's history, per the Untold Legend series, a Mrs. Chilton was the mother of Joe Chill and his brother Max. See Batman#208 and Brave and the Bold#79.

Post-Crisis, a story revealed that Chill (or whoever killed the Waynes) actually had tried to hold up a numbers runner just moments before he killed the Waynes. The numbers runner revealed his position, and Chill, not wanting to become the target of a vendetta, let him go and promptly mugged the Waynes.

Aside from that, the novel and comic book Batman: the Ultimate Evil revealed that Mrs. Wayne had been helping the authorities investigate child pornography and the Thailand sex trade, and was killed in a way to make it look like a mugging. It was not made clear if this was intended as canon.

Note that the first time the origin of the Batman was depicted on TV was in the episode of Super Powers: The Galactic Guardians titled "The Fear". I do not know if Chill said anything or was called by name-anyone?

[edit] The Untold Legend of the Batman

Should the Untold Legend series be mentioned? As the above poster (Enda80?) suggested, it contains some relevant information, although I'm not sure how much if it is canon.

[edit] Chill 1989

However, Napier's partner in that scene may be Chill.

That's really interesting, although it will be regarded as speculation. I think it's worth pointing out this interpretation, if there's a better way to do it.
