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…
