Apparently in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic (issue #44) from IDW, Donatello gets into it with Bebop and Rocksteady (and only Metalhead to help him). This ends with the death of our favorite turtle nerd. Where were the others? Off fighting Krang to keep him from terraforming the planet with alien technology. In which allowed Shredder to take the hit out on Donatello with his mutant goons.

For now there's no hint or plan to revive the character in the story, being written by Tom Waltz and original co-creator Kevin Eastman. (In which the IDW series is supposed to remain close to the original TMNT comics in tone.)

Well so much for the future when he and April start a tech company...


Still they're an all male species. They're all going to die eventually.

Yea, because turtles are known for their short life expectancy.

Depends on the species. And like you said, they're turtles not tortoises. As I recall the kid who originally bought them got all four in a plastic bag of water before he dropped them down the sewer.


Take in the fact that they also spend a lot of time fighting evil ninjas, magicians, mutants, and various other monsters some with god-like abilities and their life expectancy isn't that great.

Well with the crime fighting, sure. But normally even with turtles they can average out to 30+ even on the ones with the shortest life expectancy.

Still, They traveled to the Ghostbusters universe and handled themselves well with god-like spirits in that, still traveled home without a scratch. Gotta be some badasses to do that, especially with being shot at with proton packs.

Does that count after they've been exposed to highly toxic radioactive waste?

Donatello: Turns out we all only have six more months to live. The doctor wants to know if we've been exposed to anything that glows...

How do you know the radioactive ooze didn't extend their life though? I mean just look at all the comic book characters that have lived for twice as long as the Turtles due to radioactive exposure?

Have you seen how they look in the new movie?


In any case I'm having severe doubts about this "death". I mean they are superheroes and there's a freaking time traveler standing three feet away.

No one wants to talk about that.


In any case I'm having severe doubts about this "death". I mean they are superheroes and there's a freaking time traveler standing three feet away. And if you read the article, you'd see that there's no current plans to revive him either. I do expect there will be enough uproar from Donnie fans that may cause them to do something. But at the same time, it's Donatello. Not like it's Leo, Raph, or Mikey. So there just may be sadness and no attempt to bring him back. Gotta keep in mind that from the time that the issue releases there's already 4-5 issues finished and awaiting print and circulation. So they're gonna have to wait for the next story arc before anything happens, which could be until next year.

The problem with that theory is that the rest of the turtles... are morons. Seriously Donatello is the one who saves their lives with his inventions.
