While other " heroes " like TDK and Mongal either die in humiliating fashion or blindly carry into their own death , Captain Boomerang ’s is different .
Everyone ’s favored Boomer is clipped by sherd of tree diagram bark just moments before being demolished by an incoming helicopter that crashes straight into him . It ’s just as gruesome and sudden as the rest , but what makes this dissimilar is thatCaptain Boomerang smiles as he accepts his fate .

This may be far more fitting than the death that James Gunn give his version of Captain Boomerang simply because it lacks the same magnanimousness . Fans of the motion-picture show version may have admire how mildly Boomer pass , but the comics tantamount never deserve such a imposing death . For want of a good word , Boomer is a scumbag in the funnies , even if he is a likable one . From kill Tim Drake ’s father in Brad Meltzer , Rags Morales , and Michael Bair’sIdentity Crisistocannibalizing his own son during theBlackest Nightevent , the leaning of atrocities dedicate by Captain Boomerang are piled high .
DC vs. Vampires’death accommodate Captain Boomerang to a tee . There ’s no halfway measures nor poetry to his death , but it ’s a funny comeupance to a bad man . Not to mention , it ’s a fun way to take up a pass the joke fromSuicide Squad : defeat the Justice League , where Harley Quinn likewise convinces Amanda Waller to make the wrong call following some misinformation over the intercom , getting The Penguin continually electrocute , as King Shark urges to go further with a caput explosion .
