Question"Most super heroes are good enough and skilled enough to disarm the Joker in that situation without needing to use lethal force–Batman certainly is." And then the Joker escapes and kills again, and again, and again. So the death penalty would prevent this. It's a cut and dry case. To argue otherwise, especially when he admits to his murders, is insane. Answer

It’s not for a random citizen to decide to give somebody the death penalty, whether they’re a super hero or not. That is, under our system, for a jury of his peers to decide within the structures of a court of law.

You are entirely too quick to want to pull the trigger on somebody. I hope you don’t get pulled over for speeding by a cop with a grudge.

That’s all well and good but there is no equivalent in this world to a superhero/supervillain situation and as crime goes, the joker character would be unquestionably killed by law enforcement or even military, given the scale of his crimes.

But whatever, it’s comics~
