From the article…
He has a major ax to grind this time, however, and not just with Batman. He has crafted a master plan to take out Batgirl, Nightwing and all the rest of the Bat-clan in a crossover arc, with Catwoman, Suicide Squad and other DC series, called “Death of the Family” — a play on the “Death in the Family” story line from the 1980s that saw comic fans vote for the death of the Robin of the time, Jason Todd, at the hands of the Joker.
The psycho has managed to reattach his face to his head using a makeshift variety of hooks and belts going around his ears and into his mouth and neck, adding to his already animated nature.
“Maybe Batman clocks him or something and a hook busts loose,” Capullo says. “One side of the face is hanging while the other is up in the twisted maniacal grin that we are all familiar with the Joker.”
“Let’s make this Joker story the biggest, baddest, most terrifying thing we could possibly do so that no one wants to use the character again in this way for another 20 years.” [Scott Snyder]
And since were talking about it Greg Capullo recently tweeted the penciled image from Batman #15 showing the whole Batman family together:

Death of the Family starts October 10 in Batman #10 and crosses over into just about all the Bat-titles (Batgirl, Catwoman, Suicide Squad, Batman & Robin, Detective Comics, Nightwing, Red Hood And The Outlaws, Teen Titans) not wrapping up until February with Batman #17.
And if this preview is any indication of the things to come COUNT. ME. THE. HECK. IN.
