DC Universe is repeating history by letting viewers decide if Jaosn Todd lives or dies in "Titans"

History repeats itself... And it's up to you viewers whether Batman's greatest failure will be reinterpreted in a popular live-action TV Series.

According to Comic Book Resources, DC Universe is sending a poll out to viewers of "Titans" that decides whether or not Jason Todd, the latest Robin and played by Curran Walters, will live or die after the cliffhanger fall he had in the latest episode of the series through the hands of Deathstroke. While it doesn't play out like the original 1988 Batman storyline "A Death in the Family" where The Joker is responsible, it still is left to the fans what his ultimate fate will be.

Check out Titans to see how that turns out. (Update, here's the spoiler via Comic Book.com).

Remembering Christopher Reeve/ Superman 15 years after his passing

He was undeniably SUPER even after he finished his time in the most iconic superhero role ever... And 15 years after his death, the world still honors and remembers Christopher Reeve  - the man who starred in the 1978 Richard Donner directed "Superman" film and would reprise the role for three more sequels. His depiction of the heroic DC Comics character in the big screen is legendary, and to this day serves as an inspiration for many depictions and interpretations of the Man of Steel in all forms of media. Several tributes are still done and made for him, and several actors still look up to the Juilliard School as a man ahead of his time.

We miss you Christopher Reeve, and you'll ALWAYS BE SUPERMAN.
