Though the stories took on a more serious tone, this did very small to help the failing Batman books. Batman was in very real danger of cancellation by the time writer Frank Miller came along and wrote The Dark Knight Returns. The story, which features a future Batman advent out of retirement to take on Superman, the government and whatever else that dares to get in his way, featured a much darker Batman than before and the financial success of the comic inspired Dc to use the Frank Miller style of Batman in the ensuing years.
The darkness of the Frank Miller sway extended to Batman's supporting cast, as well. In 1988, the one-time campy Batman villain the Joker, shot Batgirl Barbara Gordon, crippling her. Also in 1988, Dc hosted their infamous 1-900 telephone poll where readers were able to call in and vote on whether or not Jason Todd survived an encounter with the Joker. While the validity and appropriateness of the phone poll is in dispute, Jason lost the poll and was killed on panel after a brutal beating with a crowbar and having a construction blown up around him.

Dc has since corrected the decision to kill Jason Todd by bringing him back to life. The Jason Todd that came back to life was a darker, angrier version of the character because he blames Batman for his death and is angry that Batman never bothered to "avenge" his death. Killing primarily villains, Jason Todd post-resurrection is best categorized as an anti-hero, and sometimes an outright villain, depending on the writer's whim.
