Joseph Chilton - Earth-32 - Batman: The Dawnbreaker (2017)

A resident of Gotham City, Joseph Chilton - also known as Joe Chill - was an armed criminal responsible for holding up the Gotham socialites Thomas and Martha Wayne, as well as their young son Bruce. He proceeded to shoot and kill his marks, taking Thomas' wallet for himself.


"Fear of the Dark" 

Turning the gun on Bruce, Joe remarked that he had got what he had come for, ordering the boy to get on his knees and close his eyes. Warning Bruce that he would get hurt if he tried anything heroic, the mugger ran off and left the grieving boy by his parents' bodies.

Stopping to catch his breath, Joe flicked through the stolen wallet. However, he is interrupted by Bruce, who has been granted the power of flight through a Green Power Ring. Stunned by the furious youth, he began to back away as he was called a "bastard," dropping the stolen wallet and begging Bruce to take the money, so long as he was saved.

He tried to flee as Bruce's Ring struggled to deliver a killing strike, looking slightly relived as he heard the device tell the young teen that he could not use lethal force. However, before he can get away, Bruce's will to avenge his parent's death overpowered the ring, allowing him to dismiss the First Law of the Green Lantern and engaging deadly weapons. He is bathed in a burning green light, screaming as his flesh is seared off, reducing the mugger into a smoking skeleton.
