I don't disagree, "Deny, Defend, Depose" and all that, but if the villains actually got stopped once and for all, the comic book companies wouldn't be able to keep the storylines going. They'd have to come up with new material, and Gods know that that's the kind of thinking that causes executives to wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.

Although, a storyline where they force the Joker to go to therapy and work out his problems might make for an interesting series...

    Yeah, but I mean the Joker actually getting better, not making someone else worse.

    The Joker gets an office job, finds a small business café nearby where he likes to read historical fiction, adopts a cat from a shelter, has a psychotic break and believes he's trapped in a simulation created by robots to use the electrical energy produced by his body to sustain their own existence. You know, a normal life.
