About Batman - A Death in the Family

Batman - A Death in the Family is one of the fundamental narrative arcs of the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths for Batman, definitely marking the pace for subsequent editorial choices. It was published in Batman # 426-429 and made by Jim Starlin with art by Jim Aparo and covers by Mike Mignola.



Joker gets hold of a nuclear weapon he is planning to sell to a group of terrorists. As Batman tries to prevent a disaster in the Middle East, his young sidekick Robin (Jason Todd) is determined to find his biological mother. The two tracks, in spite of themselves, will cross and the fate will be the blackest for both Robin and Batman.

This is the ideal story for this type of operation because, as more experienced readers will know, DC already made the story "interactive" in the late 1980s. In fact, it had to be decided whether to have the second Robin (Jason Todd) killed by the Joker and the publishing house activated a toll-free number to which readers could connect to express their preference. The rest, as we know, did not smile at poor Jason who would come back to life only after many years as a custom in the world of comics.

The comic story arc was partly already freely adapted in the 2010 film Batman - Under The Red Hood.
