Actually, I agree with you here. Look at what they're doing with Alan Scott - they suddenly decide to change his orientation, and with little to no explanation.
And yes, I'm aware that people of Scott's generation woud have been extremely hesitant - to say the least - to come out, we're still talking about a man who's been married twice, shown no inclination towards homosexuality (or even bisexuality) and now, BAM! - gay.
Why? Because the editors/writers think a) it's trendy, B) it's edgy, and/or c) they need to show a powerful gay character. To that last I ask, "What about Kathy Kane, the current Batwoman, and her girlfriend, Rene Montoya, the Question?" They were two kickass charas who happened to be lesbians.
I see no reason to change Alan Scott, other than crap rationalizations.

So, here's an interesting story I ran across. <a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7574588/1/Something_More_Important' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Something More Important</a>, a Captain America fanfic based on the movie. Plot summary? Well...genderbent Steve, and how that detail affects things.
The most surprising thing? It works. I had my misgivings when I first began to read it, but it's actually pretty good. Believable, and an interesting read.

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8292963/1/Every_Dennys_in_America' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Every Denny's in America</a>, an Avengers movieverse fanfic. Exactly what it says on the tin. Thor and Steve are definitely not hiding in a Denny's restaurant. Because Thor doesn't hide and Steve doesn't run away from his problems. A rather funny brofic which chronicles the two's trips to Denny's.
OK, are there any fics out there where either one of Jokers Henchmen or just a random victam/citizen see's the Joker coming and instantly shots him?
I mean really that is all it would take to put Joker down for good but in all the fics/stories/comics/movies I've seen they have portrayed the Joker as if he is the most badass person to have ever lived.

Well with the Batman the only time he is really standing still/walking in plain sight is when he knows everyone is scared shitless. Otherwise he has mad dodging skills, and even regular people can dodge shots by being faster/more unpredictable then the gunner can adjust his aim.
Joker meanwhile walks slowly in a straight line in an obvious costume with what has been sometimes shown as slightly slower reflexes then the average person.
I mean I'm not saying that Batman isn't OP'ed given his powers/abilities but comparing Joker to him is like comparing an a guy with a limp with an Olympic Gymnest.

Here's a more interesting question.
Does anyone know a fic which explores the ramifications of the Joker actually dying? Not just immediately afterwards, but in the more long-term sense. What happens to Gotham, the Bat Clan, and among the other big-name villains of Gotham, when pretty much THE top psycho is gone for good, however it happens?

That's still immediant.
I'd like to see an exploration of the real long term consequences of the de facto top dog of the Gotham Crazies being gone for good. It's not all going to be sunshine and lolipops, after all.
And personally? Batman would not mourn the death of the Joker. Oh, he wouldn't be celebrating, your right... he'll be too busy preparing for the storm that's coming after it really works in that the Joker is dead.

It kind of is. Sure there might be a few madmen that want to become a new Joker or whatever, but some madmen is business as usual for Gotham.
You those shows that have the 'what if I didn't exist episode?' where they learn how important they are. Yeah, this is the opposite. The amount of negative things that can happen because Joker died is small in comparison to the good things.

Gotham would either be better off or not change at all. It's not like the death of ONE of his nemesis, even if he is the biggest one, would put Batman out of work after all.
Actually, with the biggest thorn in his side permanently removed, it's very possible that Bruce would allocate his newfound free time into JL business. Which mean that villain like Lex Luthor who actually are, you know, PREDICTABLE would suddenly have a very, very bad day.
Superman : "Look, Bruce, I know that with the Joker gone you're kind of...bored. But could you lay off a little and leave some for the rest of us ?"

what would happen if somebody offed the joker well off hand Barbara would likely piss on his grave and in one of the bat clans shoes i would would find as many league mages and legion magic users with a grudge against the joker as possible to make sure that his soul is unable to escape out the revolving door.
