Batman: Volume 3 - Death of the Family | Comic Book Review

Just to be clear, this is just the Batman arc that takes place across Batman #13-17, not the companions such as Batman and Robin, Batgirl, Red Hood and the Outlaws. Death of the Family is the continuation of Scott Snyder's Batman story. In this volume, The Joker is back and is targeting the entire Bat family (Batman, Nightwing, Red Robin, Robin, Batgirl and Alfred) and is also planning something big that involves many popular, beloved Batman characters.

#13 was an amazing issue. The way they show the police station in the dark as The Joker talks to Commissioner Gordon and the other officers was actually frightening (or at least just to me because The Joker scares me) and the way they reference Joseph's Kerr's back story in this issue is amazingly incredible.     10/10

#14 focuses more on Batman and him coping with the return of The Joker. This is a lot different to the previous issue but is of course still incredible.     9.5/10





#15 started the continuous 3 issues, 1 story section of the story. The Joker is getting more and more evil and the story is getting more and more intense. And you can see that this takes a toll on Batman psychologically.     9.5/10

#16 is the beginning of the end. Batman is unsure of his plan but knows that The Joker is has a counter to whatever Batman does, giving an interesting take on Batman's approach.     9.5/10

#17 wraps up the story in such an incredible way. Action, intensity, a semi reveal, psychological insanity and overall a terrific conclusion to an amazing story.     9.5/10

My average for this story is

9.6
