Over 30 years ago, history was made when fans voted to kill the second Robin, Jason Todd. Now, DC continues the alternate story of what would have happened if he had lived…Jason Todd has escaped from the Dev Institute and is on the hunt for revenge—but when Robin finally finds the Joker, revenge transforms to tragedy…and madness!Meanwhile, Batman’s encounter with Mother Grimm and her army of lost children has the Dark Knight questioning both his past and his purpose: Is he Gotham’s savior or the city’s worst nightmare? Rescuing Jason is the only way to find the answer…and Nightwing is there to help him!

    Great stuff, although I think its deliberate and melancholy tone may take some readers by surprise. Read Full Review

    I'm really happy this series has kept up in the quality department. I would've it to crumble a bit by now but no, the standards are still held high. I'm itching to see what we get next month and to see if this book can end as strongly as it started. Read Full Review

    From the DC Vault: Death in the Family - Robin Lives #3 may reveal who kills The Joker, but still leaves some questions and reveals for the final issue. The issue spins the story's wheels a bit, still providing some insight to how Bruce is dealing with Jason's near death at the hands of The Joker. Read Full Review

    Death in the Family: Robin Lives #3 is the penultimate issue of this mini-series, but in many ways it feels like we're still standing in the same place we were when the series started. Read Full Review

    Definitely falling off. I love the approach to Bruce's relationships with Dick and Jason as well as Alfred putting his foot down when Bruce tries to hide from his emotions and accept that what he wants most is family. A great aspect of the character that I want to see explored more in general. Batman is boring when it's just Batman. We've seen that for years now. Why have such a massive Batfamily if they never interact? The plot itself though still feels thin. If they want to do these little side stories with Jason fighting Scarecrow, Batman fighting Mother Grimm and want to really explore what those interactions mean in a wider psychological context then give us more than 4 issues. Not a big fan of the ending here either. It makes sense bu more
