Batman/Joker Conclusion
As Batman and the Joker exist in comics, they are unlikely to ever have an end. However if there was a final story between these two characters how would you end their rivalry.
Would you have the joker die. If so how, for example does he finally kill Batman and therefor now see's himself as pointless so ends his life. Would you have Batman Finally snap and kill the Joker, or would the Joker die trying to accomplish his plans or have Harley kill him.
What would you do?

There's even a theory that Batman kills the Joker at the end of The Killing Joke...
Let's not open that Bat-can of worms again.....
Aww, go on...
As for how he'd overcome him. He would need a reason or long-term vision, that Batman was an obstacle to. Not sure what that could be. But i'd have him do something off-key, which Bruce doesn't anticipate and then the Joker going in for the kill.
Does he know about Bruce Wayne having his back broken or the fact Bruce has handed over the Batman mantle?
Oh yeah, that's Grant Morrison's theory isn't it? I don't know if anyone's asked Alan Moore or Brian Bolland about it, but it sounds like a lot of bollocks to me. It would be totally out of character for Batman - and go against everything the Killing Joke is about story-wise.
After his 10th escape or so that would be it.
No the theory is clearly on the last page with no answer. Alan knew what he was doing but he won't say either way
I wonder how they'll play it in the animated movie version they're working on?
Well, either way, it seems a pretty daft idea to me.
In all seriousness, I really liked the final confrontation between Batman and the Joker in The Dark Knight Returns. It was perfect. I remember being pretty shocked by the Joker's actions at the end of the fight (which I won't spoil for anyone who hasn't read it). It seemed the perfect way to kill off the Joker without turning Batman into a murderer.
I don't think I would have Batman kill the Joker because it would taint Batman's character. Thing is, no matter how far he is pushed by the Joker. he will always come to his senses in the end. He even revived the Joker when Nightwing practically killed him during "The Joker's Last Laugh" crossover.
