 Batman: A Death in the Family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Batman: A Death in the Family is a Batman comic book story arc first published in the late 1980s which gave fans the ability to influence the story through voting with a 900 number.
However, the depiction of Batman in a rare emotional state, the murder of a very famous character, and the phone-voting element have allowed "A Death in the Family" to remain a significant milestone in American comics.
Over 10,000 votes were cast, a majority voted to kill Jason, and DC published "A Death in the Family" to massive media attention.

 Amazon.com: Books: Batman: A Death in the Family
The death in the family that the title describes molds the Batman character into what he is today; extremely reluctant to work with partners and overprotective of the two family members he still has.
What saves A Death in the Family worthwhile (somewhat) is the emotional impact of the outcome, and the solid art by Jim Aparo is a nice touch, but if it weren't for the impact this would leave on the Batman mythos, this wouldn't be worth picking up at all.
A Death in the Family is a solid tale of the Dark Knight seeking justice for the death of Jason at the hands of the Joker, but just about everything about this story comes off as lame.

 Batman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Batman's evolution continued through the late 1980s, notably with 1988's "A Death in the Family" storyline, readers were allowed to call in a 1-900 number to decide whether or not Jason Todd, the second Robin, lived or died (the readers voted to have Jason killed by a narrow margin).
Early Batman stories were often presented in the grim tone of the film noir and gothic horror films of the day; a few stories even present Batman making use of firearms, and the vigilante showed little remorse over his enemies' deaths.
Batman soon tracked down Moxon (while wearing his father's bat costume, his usual costume having been torn while in action), but Moxon, recognizing the costume, inadvertently fled into the middle of traffic in a state of panic, where he was struck by a truck and killed.

It sent Batman down a path even more guilt-ridden than his previous one and eventually led to the creation of a real balancing force in Tim Drake, the current (and best) Robin.

Batman: The Animated Series - mainly in the episode "Beware the Creeper" and the spin-off movie Batman: Mask of the Phantasm - offers another version of the Joker's history: he is portrayed as a former anonymous hitman for a mob with ties to the Beaumont family, and was responsible for the death of Carl Beaumont.
As the Batman comics as a whole softened their tone, the character's emphasis was soon turned to jokes and comedy-themed crimes and the Joker became a cackling maniac.
He quickly became the most popular villain and was used almost constantly during the Golden Age of Comic Books.

In a misguided attempt to prove her worthiness, Brown snuck into the Batcave and discovered a plan developed by Batman to unite the Gotham underworld under the control of Orpheus, an agent of Batman, and therefore under the control of Batman himself.
