Ask Chris #285: Do We Need To Know Who Killed The Waynes?
Q: Should there even be a Joe Chill, or does having it be an anonymous crook work better? -- @DavidMann95
A:If you've read this column before, it probably won't surprise you to find out that I've spent an awful lot of time thinking about Joe Chill, and to be honest, it makes sense that I would. Even beyond his role as the mugger who fired two shots in Crime Alley and left Bruce Wayne a very angry orphan, he's been a huge part of the Batman mythos over the past 76 years, weaving his way in and out of the story in some pretty bizarre and unexpected ways.
But I'm not sure that he actually makes it better.
