Well, we don't KNOW that there won't be any deaths. Obviously, Death IN the Family had a death, arguably the most significant one in a Bat-title since the offing of Bruce's parents. The problem is that there are such a preponderance of Bat titles that some of those characters are off limits.

The problem with the Death of the Family crossover is that if the Joker doesn't actually know the family's identities, then it feels like kind of a cop-out, a cheap trick to make you think the story has higher stakes than it really does.
