ithlilian 's review for:

Batman, Volume 3: Death of the Family by Scott Snyder

2.0

---

I started out reading all of the related comics to this event: Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman, Suicide Squad, etc but I gave that up once those lost my interest. This Joker certainly is crazy with the whole ripping his face off kind of thing, and that's why I wanted to try it. I'm not sure if my dip into the other comics made me sick of his antics, but it definitely felt like too much. Too much Joker, if that's even possible. Even still, I continued to the end, and was somewhat underwhelmed. Taken as just the Batman issues this story wouldn't really be all that substantial. It's forgettable to me, but maybe superhero comics in general aren't for me. The highlights were the first issues of Batgirl and Batman, it was a bit downhill from there.
