This comic review is about the Death of the Family story arc in the Bat titles available from DC Comics.\u00a0 Death of the Family follows the return of the Joker and his plans for the Bat family.\u00a0 This review covers Batman issues #13 and #14 as well as Batgirl #14.\u00a0 There are more stories in other Bat titles out on newsstands now, but I haven\u2019t gotten my hands on them yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Death of the Family starts in Batman #13.\u00a0 Signs point that the Joker is back in town and that he wants to play.\u00a0 When you read these titles you will realize not only is the Joker back, but he is more insane than ever.\u00a0 As Batman tries to look at the clues to find the Clown Prince of Crime, Wayne Manor is paid a visit. When Alfred opens the door, none other than the Joker is there with a smile on his face.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0In issue #14, we find Batman returning home to an empty house.\u00a0 While looking for Alfred, he comes across a \u201cgift\u201d addressed to Bruce Wayne.\u00a0 When he opens it he finds a tape.\u00a0 The tape has the Joker giving a clue to what his plans are.\u00a0 But that is not the only thing on the tape; he also hears the cries of a tortured friend.\u00a0 Bruce enlists the help of Nightwing to help catch the Joker.\u00a0 What happens next?\u00a0 You need to get this issue to find out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Meanwhile in Batgirl #14, Barbara has received a phone call from her mother and she hears her mother\u2019s cries for help as she is attacked in her own home.\u00a0 While Barbara is freaking out, she receives another call.\u00a0 This time the call is a clue to where her mother is.\u00a0 She suits up as Batgril to find her mother and save her.\u00a0 She does find the Joker but before she can do anything she realizes that he knows her secret, but she is also given a gift that shows how truly insane he has become.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0I thought the Night of the Owls was a good strong story arc, but it has nothing on the Death of the Family story arc.\u00a0 This story is not only well written, but well drawn as well.\u00a0 Will someone in the Bat family die?\u00a0 How will this change Bruce\u2019s life?\u00a0 Who knows?\u00a0 That is why I cannot wait to see what happens next.\u00a0 So far, all the issues in this story arc are rated a perfect score of 10.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
