Publication history [edit]

Scott Snyder in 2011. Snyder wrote the main Batman serial and oversaw the necktie-ins for "Death of the Family".

The render of the Joker since his initial New 52 appearance in Detective Comics #ane was teased in early on July 2012.[32] "Decease of the Family" was first printed between October 2012 and February 2013, and spanned 23 individual issues across nine divide series, each focusing on individual members of Batman's extended supporting cast: Batman (#thirteen-17), which served as the primary plot between Batman and the Joker; Batgirl (#13-16); Batman and Robin (#15-16) which focused on Batman's son Damian Wayne, the current Robin; Catwoman (#13-fourteen); Detective Comics (#15-sixteen) which focused on Batman; Nightwing (#15-16); and Suicide Team (#14-15), which focused on Joker's sometimes girlfriend Harley Quinn. The arc also included a crossover story in Red Hood and the Outlaws (#fifteen-16) and Teen Titans (#fifteen-16), which focused on both the former Robin, Jason Todd, and Red Robin, starting story threads in one series that were then concluded in the other.[33] The story began with issues #xiii of Batman, Batgirl, and Catwoman, the latter two serving every bit a prelude to the story. The serial were published monthly and all concluded in January 2013, except for Batman, which published its seventeenth consequence in February; the final affiliate of the story.[33] At the 2014 Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, Scott Snyder revealed the story was always intended as "a 2-office story", and his idea for the 2nd story would be about how much the Joker hates Batman.[34]

"Decease of the Family" was followed in 2014 by "Endgame", in which the Joker returns to wreak vengeance on Batman for rejecting their relationship. Snyder described it as the concluding chapter of his Joker story.[35] [36]

Batman #13 was generally well received for its plot which was considered to be fittingly horrifying and filled with tension representative of the Joker'due south return. Snyder's incarnation of the Joker was praised for incorporating historical elements of the character and his dialogue, while providing a new perspective on the character.[37] [38] [39] IGN's Benjamin Bailey said that the story would be office of a classic Batman story,[38] and Comic Book Resources' Ryan Lindsay said the issue is the type of introduction every story deserves.[37] Batman #xiv was as well well received. Comic Book Resources' Greg McElhatton enjoyed the sense of isolation that emphasized the effect on Batman of not having his supporting bandage, Batman's narration and the dialogue between Batman and Joker.[40] IGN'south Joey Esposito said that the writing created a realistic threat of danger to the established characters, and appreciated the further increment in tension. Esposito also praised the Joker's final monologue.[41] In contrast, Newsarama considered the issue could be too verbose, but said that the story had great pacing.[42] Batman #15 received positive reviews, but is the lowest graded outcome in the Batman tie-ins. Reviewers noted that the story connected to be potent, but was marred by disruptive elements created by dialogue structure, unexplained actions such equally Batman'due south glove being removed off console during a confrontation with Joker, and small artistic inconsistencies.[43] [44] Newsarama's David Pepose praised the opening narration, but was critical of the lack of interest of the Batman family considering their central purpose in Joker's plan,[45] and Esposito said that the story was masterfully told, highlighting the Batman/Joker dynamic.[44]

Esposito praised Snyder's writing in Batman #16 for its exploration of Batman relationship with his rogues, peculiarly Joker, but criticized the seemingly sudden peril in which Batman's allies are placed as the Batman issues offer no information on the events in their respective necktie-in bug, undermining Batman's principal motivation to protect them.[47] Newsarama's Lan Pitts said that Snyder had created a great, unforgettable and suspenseful Batman story, with a Joker that potentially bested all previous incarnations of the grapheme.[48] Comic Book Resources' Kelly Thompson said that the creative team had taken a graphic symbol of which she was tired (Joker) and reinvented him while creating a pivotal story.[46] Esposito gave the story-arc'due south finale in Batman #17 a score of ten out of 10, and said it contained possibly the greatest dialogue exchange betwixt Joker and Batman since the end of The Killing Joke. Esposito also said that the story had "managed to redefine one of the most iconic villains in history - non simply in comics, but in literature as a whole - while existence able to drag Batman and his allies to a whole new level."[50] Comic Book Resources' Doug Zawisa said that the issue succeeded as a grand and satisfying conclusion to the series-spanning story arc,[49] but Pepose noted story elements that became fake-outs, and an inconclusive ending as negatives. Pepose said "Even though the landing isn't completely stuck, this is withal good work."[51] The Guardian 's Stuart Kelly said the overall story arc was a classic in waiting, and said information technology was both cerebrally satisfying and genuinely spine-tingling.[3]

Greg Capullo's pencil work received consistent praise throughout the series. Esposito said he is possibly the best Batman creative person, providing energetic images,[38] while Newsarama described his work equally visceral and profoundly detailed, only sometimes cluttered.[42] Other reviewers noted the detail in his work[43] and described his contributions every bit astounding.[47] Jonathan Glapion and FCO Plascencia besides mostly received praise for, respectively, their inks and colors.[37] [42] [48]

Batgirl

Batgirl was considered one of the strongest tie-ins,[52] owing to the pre-existing relationship between Batgirl and the man who bedridden her, Joker; highlighting the emotional trauma and want for revenge that is understandable in Batgirl's character which allowed the story to serve equally natural progression for Batgirl instead of a tie-in to the greater Batman story.[53] [54] [55] [56] The art by Ed Benes and Daniel Sampere received a mixed response from reviewers who described it as fair[54] and serviceable,[55] but likewise noted garish colors and inconsistent quality.[54] Newsarama'southward Aaron Duran complimented Sampere for emphasizing the personal nature of the characters, bringing the reader "uncomfortably" close, but said that the effect gradually becomes desensitizing.[57]

Batman and Robin

Batman and Robin #15 was well received for its story, the characterization of Damian Wayne and the Joker, and the Joker'due south dialogue which was described as "wordplay formed into incisive barbs", and more menacing that Snyder's incarnation; a Joker that revels in filth.[58] [59] [60] Patrick Gleason'southward art was praised for creating terrifying and disturbing images that add texture to the pages.[58] [59] [threescore] Batman and Robin #xvi's narrative was considered lesser than the previous consequence's, with Newsarama describing it as both "killer and filler" designed to go along Damian occupied while the main story proceeded, but appreciating the fight between Damian and what he believes to be his begetter. Esposito said that Damian's characterization sees him display resolve "unimaginable for a 10-year onetime", making the case for Damian existence the best Robin. Newsarama once more praised Gleason's horror-toned imagery, expressing a desire that he replace Capullo on the Batman installments.[61] [62]

Catwoman

Catwoman #13 received criticism for featuring a central story that was largely unrelated to the "Death of the Family unit" arc despite its branding as a tie-in. The tie-in segment was described as uninspired, and weak with absurd execution,[63] while Schedeen noted that the sporadic appearances of the Joker interrupted the period of the larger unrelated plot, diminishing the attempt to convey drama in the effect's concluding scene.[64] Catwoman #14 received similar criticism; Thompson said the Joker/Catwoman concept cruel apartment and offered no insight about either character, and regressed Catwoman's human relationship with Batman, presenting her inner thoughts as shallow.[65] Pepose scored the issue iii out of x, saying the issue was all spectacle without substance. Pepose said "when the big insight is that the Joker 'just wants to exist Batman's exist-yotch,' you know things have taken a wrong turn somewhere." Pepose noted that Joker having the upper mitt in dialogue with Catwoman, made the character appear like a rube in her ain volume.[66]

Nightwing

IGN's Jesse Schedeen scored Nightwing #15 6.1 out of x, and #xvi vii.iv out of ten. For Event #15, Schedeen was disquisitional of the consequence interrupting the book's ongoing story development and considered that there were storytelling missteps that undermined the emotional touch on of the volume'due south events.[67] Comic Book Resources's Greg McElhatton however said the issue worked well as both a necktie-in and an individual Nightwing tale that progressed the graphic symbol's personal, professional and superhero relationships.[68] For Effect #16, Schedeen felt that the overarching story in the Death of the Family unit books required an increasing amount of intermission of atheism in how Joker simultaneously assaulted each fellow member of the Batman family and his failure to actually eliminate those members after capturing them. Schedeen said that the issue was emotionally brutal, and frustrating because Nightwing is easily rendered helpless by the Joker's machinations.[69] Eddy Barrows artwork was generally praised for its somber, shadowy tone in both books, but Schedeen criticized inconsistent character appearances.[67] [68] [69]

Suicide Team

IGN's Jesse Schedeen labeled Suicide Squad #14 as a superfluous tie-in that added cipher meaningful to the "Death of the Family" story arc or the relationship between Harley Quinn and Joker. However, Schedeen described Fernando Dagnino'southward art as solid, with moody and shadowy tones that fit the somber tone of the series' own on-going story.[lxx] Comic Book Resource' Greg McElhatton said the issue was saved by the parts of the story unrelated to "Death of the Family", and the tie-in plot slightly macerated the momentum of the series. McElhatton called Dagnino's art uneven, citing the Joker's appearance as the most problematic visual that "never quite looks right".[71] Schedeen said that event #15 improved past focusing on the Joker/Quinn plot, but criticized the Joker's characterization for lacking the aforementioned creepiness and inhumanity displayed in other "Death of the Family" books, and found the plot indicate of Joker beingness legitimately in love with Quinn out of place for the grapheme and the arc's central plot of Joker shedding his humanity entirely.[72]

Sales [edit]

"Death of the Family" was a sales success, with issues regularly appearing in the top monthly sales during its release.[73] Batman was consistently the highest selling series in the story, outselling the next all-time selling series, Detective Comics by approximately 45,000 units.[74] [75] Batman #fourteen was the highest selling issue, selling an estimated 159,744 units in November 2012, and appearing at number two in the sales charts, behind the kickoff result of All New 10-Men (181,710 units).[76]
