For my last News comment, I read an article on the passing of a legendary comic icon. On Wednesday Jerry Robinson passed in his sleep at the age of 89. Without Robinson Batman’s greatest arch-nemesis, the Joker, would not have been created. Robinson also created other characters, such as Two-Face, Robin, and Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne’s butler. He was hired by Bob Kane while attending Columbia University.

This would be a human interest piece and it is news because he impacted the comic industry greatly. Through the years the Joker has been remade with different looks, but he is always the same Joker.
