You know, for once I'd like to see a Joe Chill as a repentant figure, not one that's killed lots of people, or was a crime boss, or anything like that, but just a dude who wants to make amends for past sins, with the murder of the Waynes being something that's haunted him ever since.

LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT did something like that. IIRC, the man who killed Eams' husband became a doctor in repentance.

Ah, the DCAU version would be best for you then. :) I'll try and post it.

How did that version try to make amends?

The guilt over killing the Waynes coupled with seeing their extremely high profile son everywhere slowly drives him crazy, and begins to see Bruce's face everywhere. After falling off a building while trying to kill a cop who has found some long lost forensic evidence connected to the Waynes' murders, Batman tries to save him, but when Joe accidentally unmasks him he refuses to be saved because he thinks that he's finally gone nuts.

Bruce is then left wondering why this random old guy did these things before seemingly refusing to be saved for no apparent reason.

No, I remember the story. I just can't remember Chill doing any amends for his actions in it.

Wasn't the DCAU versions the one that made him a crime boss, or a loser?

Paranoid guilty wreck, so yeah, loser I guess.

Yeah, I know what version you're talking about, and I didn't like him either. He was just a loser who didn't want to be caught, he didn't make any attempt at redeeming himself.

Isn't that basically the current Joe Chill?

I haven't read comics lately, so I wouldn't know.

I liked to imagine Joe running a home that takes care of orphans (as I think it'd be the most appropriate.)
