Ok let me start off with what I know as a fact if you look at DC Comics website you will notice that every single Bat Family member has a number 18 comic and if you read the preview it is all dealing with post Death of the family. so surprise no Hero is dieing in Death of the Family because all of their comic runs continue after the story arc so nobody dies. this could be a ploy by DC but i doubt it I think they would not preview any of the Bat Family comics before making up false previews but hey I could be wrong. However if you read the previews they all talk about a huge tragedy that affects them and there all the same thing pretty much ____ suffered horribly in DOTF and they are couping with it. Now this got me thinking given that all the Heros still have comic runs continuing what could possibly happen to make the this happen. well if you read the latest Nightwing, Rayna or whatever her stupid name is dies, whatever you cares not really enough to have a lasting effect on Dick. So after considering this I came up with one possibility that would shake the Family to the core. ALFRED, alfred dies in someway during the death of the family. its the only person that could cause a great tragedy for the entire bat family and have it be meaningful. What brings me to this conclusion is one word "Sanity" if you read the preview for Bats 18 and NW 18 it says they are having trouble maintaining thier sanity and NW is even tempted to get revenge. We all know Dick he is a boy scout and that little wh%r3 rayna isnt enough to drive Dick mad or think about killing someone and what drove Bats nearly insane last time, a death of a Bat Family member. Also notice in Batman 18 it previews Harper Row coming back, she was that girl who tried to help batman cause he saves her brother. she is a computer and electical wiz and this is just a guess but since she was smart enough before to hack bats cameras she might be able to learn to use the bat computer. My guess Alfred bites the big one and Harper Row steps in as an "oricale" type to assist the Bat Family like alfred/babs did. of course she could never replace good old alfred but it just might happen.
this could also lead to huge strains on the Family NW blaming bruce because he failed to accept the fact Joker found out thier identies or had got into the cave. everyone taking sides over this w/e but it would definatly cause a rift. also Alfred has patched up alot of the Bat Fam relationships over the years and he is the kind of glue that kept them together the one any of them could go to when they need help. with alfred gone and at this point it looks like most of the blame would fall on Bats because he couldnt come to terms with the Joker knowing their I.D.s and putting the entire family in danger it could lead to the Death of the Family
