I can’t find the source (maybe because it doesn’t exist? Maybe it’s from an episode of Fatman on Batman?) where Snyder says anything about not being able to do something he wanted to do in the New 52 Death of The Family arc. However, here’s an article that brings up the point that having the character death that follows that arc could have been more powerful had it been part of the arc. If you haven’t read that arc in New 52, this will spoil major points.
