The core thesis is laid out early: The Joker believes that Batman’s allies—Robin (Damian Wayne), Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, Red Robin, and even Alfred—have weakened him.

The Setup: The Joker Returns After a year-long absence in the wake of the New 52 reboot, the Joker returns to Gotham—but not as anyone remembers him. He has skinned his own face off and reattached it like a ghoulish mask, a visual that immediately signals this is not a whimsical prankster but something far more primal and terrifying. Death of the Family isn’t about the Joker trying to kill Batman. It’s about the Joker trying to destroy the idea of the Bat-Family. The core thesis is laid out early: The

The story leaves a lasting scar on the Batman mythos. It broke the trust between Bruce and his allies in a way that no punch or explosion ever could. And it redefined the Joker not as a force of chaos, but as a toxic, codependent lover who would burn down the entire world just to have Batman to himself. His plan
