The joke is of course 'anyone is dead until their next first issue'.It isn't so much the 'history of killing off characters', it's the lack of respect for their deaths. To the point that it's a running joke that when Marvel kills off someone, you know it's until they are in a movie, then they will be back. In the 'Arrowverse' it's it's own set of jokes.That's the REAL problem comics faces. The Reed Richards & Ben Grimm you would remember would have fought in the Viet Nam war. Not very practical. It often means retconning the ages of heroes & villains over & over. That's not counting DC's long history that involves literal ages: Golden Age, Silver Age, etc. Before there was a Justice League, there was a Justice Society. There were more multiple Flashes & Green Lanterns to explain this, but NOT Batmen & Supermen. So one early idea back in the 60s? To have an Earth 1, Earth 2, and so on. Thus our early multiverses.
