8. Fictional Obituary: Maroni, Absolute Batman
Spoilers for Absolute Batman #1.
Maroni, a senior figure in Gotham's organized crime, has died in the violence accompanying Black Mask's rise.
He was associated with the criminal family that carried his name and with the established leadership Black Mask sought to displace. His death leaves a gap in that organization and another entry in the city's long record of violent succession.
Remembering his life honestly requires acknowledging the nature of the power he held. His passing does not erase the injuries sustained by others under Gotham's criminal order.
