Batman, Vol. 3: Death of the Family: Interview with Scott Snyder by Charlie Chang

The Joker is arguably the most popular villain in comics and in entertainment. How do you go about tackling such an icon in not only the Joker?

Scott Snyder: For me personally, the only way to write these iconic characters when theres 75 years of great stories that have already been written is to make these stories personal. Assume that if you make it personal, then thats how you make it original. So I came up with the idea for this story when we were about to have our second kid and I just kept finding myself wishing that I could stop worrying about the first kid once in a while and wondering how I was going to do this again. I came to this realization that Batman has this family and he probably thinks that same thing once in a while like, I wish I could stop worrying about them. Then that led me to this idea that someone might ask him, Well why dont you just kill all of them? That would make it easy... and thats the Joker right there. I knew that was the Joker, I could hear it in my head. It was perfect, you hear that and you know hes coming. Then it became a process of trying to develop a story of how to go deeper and deeper and darkly into that idea.

Just a few years ago, The Dark Knight film redefined Joker when a lot of people didnt think that would have been possible. Whats different about this version?

Scott:I love the Heath Ledger Joker, I also love The Joker from Frank Millers The Dark Knight Returns and Alan Moores Killing Joke, but we tried to create our version thats both funny and almost humorously apocalyptic in his own kind of way while at the same time giving this Joker his own look. In another book (Detective Comics, Vol. 1) his face was cut off and we picked that up because it hadnt been dealt with and we turned it into something for our story where he belts on his own skin-face thing and thats part of the theme of this story where hes trying to say, Lets look beneath the skin of this relationship and see what you really look like beneath that mask, all of you, you fools. So in a way, I think this is very different than anything youve ever seen, especially if you love the Joker, if youre new to comics or new to the character at all, hopefully its something that gets your attention.

If you could put your favorite thing about this book, what would it be?

Scott: The thing that I love about it is how dark it is. I try to write the Joker with integrity and from the perspective that he genuinely believes that hes doing Batman a service by getting him to kill his
