This is a nice conclusion to the long story that was Bruce Wayne: Murderer/Fugitive. It has fewer distractions from the primary storyline, and everything is wrapped up quite neatly.

Bruce Wayne may be a free man, but the story is not over. Cain, an assassin, and the new Batgirl's father, confesses to the crime. His motivation is a combination of personal reasons and orders from high up in the federal government. The government part wanted to frame Bruce Wayne. Going after Batman was the personal part. Cain is in prison, but there are some who would prefer him dead, so Batman now has to keep him alive as another assassin targets Cain. Also, Sasha, Wayne's former bodyguard, apparently dies in prison, only her body goes missing. Is she really dead? All these plots are finally resolved in the last volume of the series. While not as good as the previous two, mostly because it is wrapping loose ends, it is still a good story, and it is well worth reading. Overall, this was one of the best Batman series I have read in a while. Good overall characterization along with plenty of action.

As if clearing his name isn't enough, Bruce still has to deal with the usual mobsters, Cain and Deathstroke, plus his former bodyguard, who remains in Blackgate prison, and undergoes a dramatic transformation in more ways than one. Oh, and Azreal has gone batty, no pun intended. The ending seems a little too "optimistic" for Batman, but at least we have Bruce back. A great relief indeed.
By this point I was getting exasperated by the length of this comic arc. The interaction between the extended Bat family is still the superlative strength of the narrative. Neither Bruce nor Batman can survive without the support from the Bat family. There is a lovely display of paternal feeling at the end from Batman to Cassandra, which is kind of sweet.
