Synopsis
After the events of Bruce Wayne: Murderer?, some of the Batman Family are still doubting Bruce's innocence in the murder of Vesper Fairchild. They undergo an extensive investigation while Bruce struggles with the complications of his identity fighting crime in the streets. Eventually, they discover that Vesper's true murderer was the ever-devious David Cain. Cain was hired by then President Lex Luthor to destroy Bruce Wayne in both wealth and character, because Luthor was angry at Bruce's actions during No Man's Land. Simultaneously, Batman tangles with Checkmate and learns of the presidential plot from the other end. Also, they find Lex Luthor is still unaware of Bruce's alter ego, but when he hired Cain, Cain saw the chance to get Batman also as an added perk. After re-learning the value of his humanity with Catwoman's help, Bruce and his allies confront David Cain, attack and incarcerate him, then clear Bruce's name.
