** Final Verdict: Ultimately [[spoiler: The Joker]] averages out to 2.625, so its quite possible that [[spoiler: Joker's]] body will find its way [[spoiler: Into a Lazarus Pit, [[WildMassGuessing or already has.]]]], though its completely conceivable that this is curtains for the [[spoiler [[MonsterClown Killer Clown.]]]]

* Next up is [[spoiler: Ras Al Ghoul]]. Will [[spoiler: his]] body find its way to a [[spoiler: Lazarus Pit]] or not?
* CauseOfDeath: A failed attempt at TakingYouWithMe, the best bet is a 2 because of the failure.
* AudienceExpectation: [[spoiler: Ra's Al Ghul]] has LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt in [[spoiler: his]] favor, though not as much as the character above. However,[[spoiler: he has]] the added bonus of [[spoiler: having an established mechanism for coming BackFromTheDead]], so its a 1.
* BodyFound: We see the body, but it quickly goes missing, so its a 2.
* Reaction: FauxDeath to some extent, not because [[spoiler: Batman]] doubts that [[spoiler: he's]] dead, but because of the aforementioned ability to [[spoiler: come BackFromTheDead using the Lazarus Pits.]] 1.
* LastWords: Technically an OhCrap, but [[spoiler: Ra's]] outlasts his "LastWords" by about 20 seconds, during which [[spoiler: he's]] completely fine physically and attempts a TakingYouWithMe. So a 3 here.
* Characterization: [[spoiler: The Other BigBad]], 1.
* When Did They Die: A 2 here for the same reasons as the above character.
* Died And Come Back?: Once on screen, countless times in backstory: 1.
* Final Verdict: 1.625. We haven't seen the last of [[spoiler: Ra's Al Ghul]]!!! Though [[spoiler: he's]] probably actually dead for the time being.

* On a similar note, next up we have [[spoiler: Talia Al Ghul.]]
* Cause of Death?: Not exactly crystal clear, but matches [[spoiler: StuffedInTheFridge or DroppedABridgeOnHim]] the most, so its a 4.
* AudienceExpectation: Since [[spoiler: She]] lacks the [[spoiler: JokerImmunity]] of the two previous characters, its quite possible that [[spoiler: Talia]] might be dead for real in the eyes of the audience. 2 because of other characters apparently cheating death.
* Body Found?: Like [[spoiler: her father's]] body [[spoiler: Talia's]] disappears during the boss fight following [[spoiler: her]] apparent death, so 2.
* Reaction: ItsPersonal, 2.
* LastWords: Receives wound that kills [[spoiler: her]] [[KilledMidSentence mid sentence]], but lasts long enough to deliver some last words; 3.
* Characterization: Loved One, 4.
* When Did They Die?: 2 for the same reasons as the above characters.
* Died and Come Back?: Nope, 4.
* Final Verdict: 2.625, about as likely as [[spoiler: The Joker]] to come back from the dead.

* BodyFound?: Found but not buried. [[spoiler: The Joker]] gets a 3 here.
* Reaction: Believe it or not, something close to a ReallyDeadMontage, since the cutscene following [[spoiler: his]] death puts a big emphasis on the reactions of [[spoiler: Joker's]] [[spoiler: {{mooks}}]] to [[spoiler: his]] death.
* Last Words: Difficult to say, though FamousLastWords fits best, 3.
* Characterization [[spoiler: The Big Bad]], 1.
* When did they die?: Difficult to say, though since Arkham City concludes its arc, same year would be the best bet. 2
* Died and Come Back: While [[spoiler: his]] ComicBook incarnation has died and come back countless times over the years, [[spoiler: the time Joker faked his own death in the Arkhamverse was to lure Batman into a false sense of security near the beginning of the game]], so a 3.
** Final Verdict: Ultimately [[spoiler: The Joker]] averages out to 2.625, so its quite possible that [[spoiler: Joker's]] body will find its way [[spoiler: Into a Lazarus Pit, [[WildMassGuessing or already has.]]]], though its completely conceivable that this is curtains for the [[spoiler [[MonsterClown Killer Clown.]]]]

[[{{Morrowind}} Almalexia]]
* Cause: just plain killed in a duel by the player character. I think that's about 3.
* Genre: High Fantasy. Technically in this universe death isn't cheap, but godlike beings tend to pop back into existence more or less often. Let's give her a 2.
* Body Found: Left for dead in the Clockwork City. A clear-cut 1.
* Reaction: No one believed she's dead. 1
* Last Words: a "Piece of cake" speech about how she's going to off Nerevarine. 2
* Character: archvillainess / fallen heroine. 1
* When: In Skyrim's times it's about 200 years after her death. 4
* How many times: Not yet. 4
Score: 2,57. Something between "Be back soon" and "Maybe back later".

[[PlanescapeTorment The Nameless One]] (non finale)
* Cause: Jumping onto a trap to set it off and the like: 1
* Genre: Even for other people, in D&D, DeathIsCheep: 1
* Body Found: Most places you use it it counts as LeftForDead 1
* Reaction: The party member reactions don't really fall under anything, but they are mostly sighs of "here we go again": 1
* Last Words: I forget what his death quotes are, I '''think''' they are mostly that dieing still hurts: 1 (though not to sure here)
* Character: Protagonist 1
* When: Same Arc 1

[[FinalFantasyXIII Fang and Vanille]]
*Cause of death : HeroicSacrifice. 3
*Genre : Well, DeathIsCheap is the choice here, since all the "dead" main characters but Nora Estheim come back. 1
*Body Found : Analogous to Frozen. 2
*Reaction : Their part of the ending cutscene and the novella episode i could count as a Montage. 4
*Last Words : They talk to the others after their death and tell them they'll watch them or something, counts as a FinalSpeech. 3
*Characterization : Two protagonists. 1
*When : A little more than a year ago, so… let's say same year. 2
*"Died" and came back : Well, they already went to crystal stasis and came back, so… Once and got better. 3

Currently, [[spoiler:Shirley]] from ''CodeGeass'' and [[spoiler:the real Caulder]] from ''AdvanceWars: Days of Ruin'' have scored 4, the highest possible. The latter is more notable by having 4 in ''every'' category instead of getting the [=CLAMP=] bonus that the former got. No characters have got the lowest possible score of 1 yet, but [[DoctorWho Davros and The Master]] are joint leaders in the death defying derby at 1.75, even beating SouthPark's Kenny.
