Not only does Cerebus end up dying alone, unmourned and unloved (as predicted), but he also goes to Hell to suffer for all eternity.

So it goes.

While maybe not definitively the most depressing life out of all comic book characters I'd say.
If you took all the most fucked up things in canon alternative universes and things that have been retconned then I'd say Bruce Wayne.
I'll list some things as why.
>Parents die in front of him at a young age.
>Accepts responsibility in his deaths even though he is slash isn't responsible he still views himself as the cause for his parents death.
>the death of second robin and his mum.
>being killed repeatedly in the most fucked ways possible everyday by emperor joker feeling and remembering each death.
>never killing your adversaries who will ultimately escape and kill innocents.
>Responsible depending on canon the creation of two face, red hood, the joker and others my drunk ass can't remember.
>Mask of phantasm the girl who was gonna make the bat a man permanently ended up being the villain and dying at the end. This is an emotionally gripping and exceptional batman flick that's better than 85 percent of the live actions.
>Semi responsible for Barbara Gordon being crippled.
I could go on and on and on but I prefer not to the blunt is almost finished.

99% of their exploits are non-canon because of reboots/retcons/revamps or only "soft" canon because of sliding timelines.

Batman's parents are still dead
The Punisher's family is still dead
Uncle Ben is still dead
and they'll all remain so for the entirety of the characters' existences

the only person who has a dead immediate relative floating in and out with every iteration is Superman

What is happening? Matt has the absolute worst fucking life. I can understand the votes for Moon Knight and Jonah Hex and Petey and Frank, but no DD other than me?

Does it have something to do with the TV show? I will laugh my ass right off my rump if /co/'s got some shit against DD now because of the show. Sometimes being a fucking dedicated worshiper of a B-list character can be annoying as fuck in current year.

I've honestly never seen a character picked on by writers more than Wanda.
