This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.84.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 00:10, 24 April 2026. Your current IP address is 3.84.236.144.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Batman: Death in the Family''''' is a 2020 American animated [[Interactive film|interactive]] [[superhero film]] that explores [[Alternate history|alternate outcomes]] of the 1988 comics [[A Death in the Family (comics)|storyline of the same name]], in which [[Jason Todd]], the second character to bear the mantle of Batman's sidekick [[Robin (character)|Robin]], was murdered by the [[Joker (comics)|Joker]]. It is a [[Spiritual successor|spiritual sequel]] to ''[[Batman: Under the Red Hood]]'', and was released on [[Blu-ray]] on October 13, 2020.

==Synopsis==
===Format===
''Death in the Family'' is an interactive film. When presented with a choice point, the user has ten seconds to make a choice or a default decision is made for them. The film has an average viewing of 95 minutes, and at least 9 alternate story paths (two paths lead to same or similar conclusion), with seven alternate endings.

===Plot===
Believing that [[Jason Todd]] is becoming too aggressive in his crime-fighting, [[Batman]] decides to suspend him from his active duties as [[Robin (character)|Robin]]; angered, Jason forsakes Batman and leaves [[Gotham City]]. The two reunite in [[Bosnia and Herzegovina|Bosnia]] to fight the [[Joker (character)|Joker]] and [[Ra's al Ghul]], who are working together to steal [[uranium]] to create radioactive [[dirty bomb]]s. As Batman stops Ra's al Ghul's men, the Joker captures Robin and brutally beats him with a [[crowbar]], leaving him to die in a warehouse that is rigged to explode.

===Robin Dies===
If Robin dies, the events of ''[[Batman: Under the Red Hood]]'' play out naturally. A guilt-ridden Ra's al Ghul uses the Lazarus Pit to resurrect Jason, who becomes the [[Red Hood]] and wages a war against Batman and [[Black Mask (character)|Black Mask]], eventually leading to Black Mask releasing Joker from [[Arkham Asylum]]. Red Hood captures Joker and forces Batman to decide between killing the Joker or him. Batman manages to avoid killing either of them, but Red Hood disappears. Bruce provides a recap of the events to [[Superman|Clark Kent]], who commends Bruce for his bravery in facing his inner demons and offers his help in finding Jason.

===Robin Cheats Death===
Jason survives the explosion, but is severely injured, requiring his face to be swathed in [[bandage]]s. He is also severely traumatized and blames Batman for his plight. He dons a new Robin suit while keeping the bandages on his head, and becomes a [[Hush (character)|violent vigilante]] who brutally murders several Gotham criminals, such as [[Cheetah (character)|Cheetah]], the [[Riddler]], and Black Mask. He is eventually found by [[Talia al Ghul]], who offers to help him find and kill the Joker in exchange for Jason agreeing to raise her and Bruce's infant son [[Damian Wayne|Damian]]. Jason agrees, secretly planning to eventually turn Damian against both of his biological parents.

===Batman Saves Robin===
Unlike the other two options, this version offers multiple branching paths. Batman manages to get Robin out of the warehouse, but is killed in the explosion. With his dying words, Bruce attempts to convince Jason not to take revenge on the Joker and to be strong for his family. Jason, [[Alfred Pennyworth|Alfred]], and [[Barbara Gordon]] put Bruce to rest next to his parents, and [[Dick Grayson]] succeeds him as Batman. The viewer then has to decide whether Jason chooses to kill the Joker.

====Kill the Joker====
Jason goes to a local [[diner]] and sees a news report about Batman. A man sitting next to him figures out that it's not the same Batman and is likely Nightwing pretending to be him. When prompted by Jason, the man claims to have known Batman and fought alongside him, but is now a new man and is attempting to start his life over. Reminiscing, he tells Jason a joke he once told Batman, leading Jason to realize it's the same joke from when [[Batman: The Killing Joke|Barbara Gordon was shot in the spine]] and that the man is a reforming Joker. Jason reveals his identity by repeating the parting words Joker said to him back in the warehouse, making the Joker excitedly grin in realization, before Jason stabs and kills him. Shortly afterwards, two [[Gotham City Police Department|GCPD]] police officers arrive to arrest Jason. The viewer then has the option to determine if he turns himself in or escapes.
 
* If Jason turns himself in, he is given a life sentence and takes on the "Jailbird" persona to serve justice on the inside.
* If Jason attacks the police and escapes, he becomes the antihero [[Red Robin (identity)|Red Robin]] and begins a murderous rampage against Gotham's criminals (the same ones he kills in the "Robin Cheats Death" option). Eventually, he battles [[Two-Face]] at a [[Shopping mall|mall]]. After gaining the upper hand on Red Robin, Two-Face flips his coin to determine Red Robin's fate. The viewer can decide what side the coin lands on:
** If it lands on the good side, Two-Face decides to kill Red Robin, as he believes he would be doing Gotham a favor. Before he can do so, however, he is [[taser|tased]] by a young [[Tim Drake]]. Tim convinces Jason to spare Two-Face by reminding him of Batman's dying words. Jason ultimately changes his ways, returns to the Bat-Family, and adopts Tim as his new sidekick Bat Kid.
** If it lands on the bad side, Two-Face decides to spare Red Robin, as he believes letting Jason live with what he has become is a fate worse than death. Sure enough, Jason is wracked with guilt and retires from crime-fighting.

====Catch the Joker====
Jason attempts to fulfill his promise to Bruce not to kill the criminals he fights. To attract the Joker's attention, Jason adopts his previous persona of the Red Hood and wages a bloody war on Gotham's criminal underworld. He eventually manages to bring Joker out of hiding and defeats him in a fight. The Joker is overjoyed by what Jason has become, and says that Jason is now more his successor than Batman's. Jason, who has been repressing his memories of killing criminals, suddenly realizes what he has done. The viewer can then decide once again whether Jason chooses to spare or kill the Joker.

Regardless of which option is chosen, Red Hood becomes a wanted fugitive and is pursued by the police and Dick. On top of a [[Wayne Enterprises|Wayne Industries]] tower one night, Jason is confronted by Talia and a revived Bruce Wayne. Talia reveals that she resurrected Bruce with the Lazarus Pit, but he was driven insane in the process and can only say "[[Batman of Zur-En-Arrh|Zur-En-Arrh]]". She offers Jason the chance to join them in the League of Assassins, but he refuses and fights Batman. The viewer can decide whether Jason battles Batman to the death or tries to save him.

* If Red Hood fights Batman to the death, he fatally wounds Batman with his knife, leading Bruce to activate a hidden bomb that kills Jason, Talia, and himself.
* If Red Hood tries to save Batman, Jason tases Bruce and defeats Talia. Dick arrives shortly afterward and takes Bruce and Jason back to [[Wayne Manor]]. Barbara Gordon returns to crime-fighting as Dick's "[[Oracle (comics)|Oracle]]" while Jason pauses to heal from the trauma. Bruce is locked in the Batcave as the Bat-Family attempts to cure him of the effects of the Lazarus Pit. Bruce remembers the last words his father spoke to him, about how a masked vigilante like [[Zorro]] wouldn't be welcome in Gotham, and that people would lock "Zorro in Arkham", with "Zur-En-Arrh" being a fragmented mantra of the phrase.
