Since the beginning of the New 52, Detective Comics #1 reintroduced the Joker to the masses, and then his face got ripped off in the same issue and he up and disappeared from the DC Universe ever since. But one year later, The Joker has made his return in Batman #13 under the penmanship of Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo in Batman Vol. 3: Death of the Family (The New 52). So for a 5-issues series on the Joker, Snyder asked the other writers doing Batman related series if they wanted to make some tie-in issues to the arc, similar to the Batman: Night of the Owls (The New 52). So aside from Batwoman and Batwing, every other Bat-title is involved with this event. Does it add anything to the main event? Not really, but it has its merits.
