Batman - Un deuil dans la famille #[nn]
This French collection, published by Semic in 2003, brings together the classic Batman storyline 'A Death in the Family' (originally published in the late 1980s). The narrative follows Batman and Robin (Jason Todd) as they confront the Joker, leading to a tragic turning point that reshapes the Dark Knight's world. Key characters include Bruce Wayne, Jason Todd, the Joker, Commissioner Gordon, and Alfred Pennyworth, with appearances by Superman and others in this pivotal saga.
In this pivotal chapter of Batman: Un deuil dans la famille, Jim Starlin's gripping narrative unfolds with emotional weight and relentless tension, as Jason confronts his long-lost mother, Sheila Haywood—only to be betrayed by her allegiance to the Joker. Jim Aparo’s powerful artwork, rendered with precision by Mike DeCarlo and colored by Adrienne Roy, captures the raw horror of Jason’s final moments, while the cover by Aparo himself sets the tone for a story that reshapes Batman’s world.

Jason meets his real mother, Sheila Haywood, but she turns out to be working for the Joker and allows her son to fall into his deadly hands inside a warehouse. Joker beats Robin with a crowbar and leaves him for dead as a badly beaten Robin attempts to save his mom and himself from the dynamite left behind by the Joker as he leaves them both to a horrible fate. Batman watches in horror as the warehouse containing Jason and Sheila blows up, too late to stop the Joker.
