Batman Volume 3: Death of the Family TP (The New 52): 03 (Batman (DC Comics Paperback))

A year after his disappearance, the Joker returns in a blaze of activity that kills many members of the GCPD. Kidnapping Alfred Pennyworth, Joker threatens to expose the Bat Family and take away the anonymity they fight so hard to protect. The Joker is even more insane than in previous incarnations and cleverly manipulated the police, the criminals and the Bat Family in his quest for a new level of notoriety. Snyder's brisk plotting, coupled with ghoulish artwork will ensure that this relaunch of Batman's nemesis will be memorable.

I am on a massive marathon bing reading of the Batman Graphic Novels books as I simply love them. I am rereading them once again as I read these comics over ten years ago. It's fun to see and read them once again. Best wishes

But what the hell is? This is one of the best Joker stories told in a very long time, I much prefer it to The Man Who Laughs. Instead of retreading old ideas with Joker and Batman, it explores one that's always been there but never explored. Batman's allies are his weakness. As long as they exist, Joker has a way to hurt Batman. This isn't just Joker being Joker, which is always fun regardless, it explores that relationship in a way hasn't really been seen since The Killing Joke in my opinion, though it's hard to compare the majesty of The Killing Joke to anything. Many felt the ending fell a bit flat, but I disagree. Everything that needed to happen did, and while the way these events could have shifted the status quo for future comics was ultimately overshadowed by the death of Damian in Batman Incorporated around the same time, this story, as a self-contained piece, is near perfect. Also, the Joker face thing, while creepy and gross, is entirely unnecessary. Snyder wanted to tell his story, but had to deal with the fact that last time we saw Joker was in Detective Comics 1, having his face removed. So he made the best of a bad situation, it maybe would have been better without that.

I really enjoyed this. Reading time lasted longer than expected and it kept my interest well. I love Batman and Arkham asylum too. Story line was well written and the artwork was brilliant. Makes me wish in my earlier days I’d gone into comic art. Back to the book, it was brilliant. A typical Batman book that sucks you into Gothams world keeping you not wanting to leave, even with the maniacs! Loved it.

Great story - I think this is superior to The Killing Joke. I loved it so much I read it again. This is a joker like the one from the Arkham Games which is my favorite version. It examin's the psychology behind Joker and Batmans relationship. Its entertaining, well paced and very satisfying. I don't want to spoil it - you should read it and see. Joker is back in Gotham after a year of self exile and he effectively wants to relive his past glories with Batman and remind the Dark Knight who he truly is. The one quibble I have is ****(Spoiler Be Warned) Its a tad ridiculous how easily Joker finds it to kill the cops at the beginning. Joker is ruthless and violent but he's not a one man army, breaking necks didn't seem his style. But that's a minor point really.*****

Right off the bat(no pun intended) this volume had me on the edge of my seat. The writing is sharp amd never leaves any to be desired; the artwork fits the genre and is superb throughout. What this novel does so well, is to show us one of the best characterizations of The Joker while also telling one of the better Batman tales in my book. The Joker is back, with a level of madness unrivaled by any villain - and yet he has a plan, he has a sense of meaning and balance behind his mess of chaos. The constant feeling of Ying and Yang balance between Batman and Joker is truly well-done in this book and it is hard to believe one became what they are without their counterpart. You owe it to yourself to read this novel.

Holy crap! I’ve yet to read a comic book that gave me such emotional stress. Literally struggled with the concepts of some of the things Joker was doing in this story, and found myself genuinely concerned for many different people. I won’t get into any spoilers, but this book really escalated things, and was some wonderful story telling. Had some of the best aspects of what makes Batman awesome, but also plays in to why the Joker is so terrible. Very well done, and one day I’m sure I will read it again. My goodness!!

Great read. I am a big fan of the new 52s, the run on Batman was supposed to be amazing. I read the first two volumes of the Batman new 52s, and although I liked it, it didn't quite live up to the hype. However volume 3 "Death of the family", is brilliant. The jokers is as crazy as ever, Batman is a bad ass, the bat family is in the comic. It has loads of villians too. There is loads of action, lots of twists, the comic moves quickly too. The comic is just a really good read, in my opinion the best Batman story; that I have read. That is from someone who has bought "Year One", "The Dark Knight Returns" and "The Killing Joke".

A must have

Great

Definitivamente a estrela da história é o Coringa, desde a capa até a genialidade dos seus planos. A representação gráfica de sua loucura é impressionante, o trabalho do artista consegue representar com maestria as deformações da pele repuxada por grampos e elásticos, o que torna tudo ainda mais perturbador. A história também é muito interessante, dando destaque mais uma vez aos diálogos do Coringa, onde o autor representa de forma incrível a loucura do personagem.

Bought for my brother's collection, arrived without any damage.
