It says "Volume 1" but this starts with "Bruce Wayne Murderer?" Begins, here, with Bruce on the lam, shedding that identity and becoming Batman with a vengeance. Meanwhile, his body guard (and maybe someone Bruce cared about a great deal) is convicted of the murder and sent to prison. Batman has pushed everyone away and refuses to clear the name of his alter ego. It is up to the rest of the team to follow the evidence and do it, then.

The plot continues to grow in complexity. Batman tries to find out the source of poisoned heroin in the city, and it seems connected to the Bruce Wayne case. Meanwhile, Sasha, his bodyguard is still in prison. It seems now the plot goes deep into the federal government, all the way to the president. As the murderer is finally found, the challenge is not over yet. For one, Sasha is still in prison. And finally, Batman is making amends, as best he can given he is so difficult, with the family he a...more
This review covers Vol 1 of this and 'Bruce Wayne, Murderer' as well.
I enjoyed this series. It was dark but needed to be considering the topics being explored. The highlights for me would have been the exploration of the fine line between Bruce Wayne and Batman and how he sees Bruce as the mask and not the other way around. Also I enjoyed seeing the Bat 'family' working together to find out what really happened, while working through their own issues with Batman and each other.

As good as I thought Batman: Bruce Wayne: Murderer was, the following volumes never matched up. The story slowed down and refused to pick up the pace over the next two volumes and we were treated to a very in depth, CSI mystery that moved at a crawling pace. Honestly, I don't remember much of the second volume alreay, as most of it was the Bat family reiterating the Bruce could be the murderer.

This is the reason I love Batman, right here. Both the story and the art fit together perfectly, to show a driven, proud, fierce hero. You see a lot of Batman holding guys out a window for interrogation, and taking down teams of trained fighters because he did his homework and know their weaknesses. He's unstoppable simply because he works really hard. I love that.
The art shows Batman with long cape and stern face, which I guess a lot of art does, but somehow despite the dark backgrounds, his de...more

The story starts to drag on, from volume 1. The hunt for the true perpetrator of former lover of Bruce Wayne, Vesper Fairchild, continues. The extended Bat family are getting closer to finding the answers while Batman continues to be a prick to all.
Am disappointed that Catwoman only makes a brief appearance; after all the news of Bruce Wayne's arrest and escape is the biggest news in Gotham. But perhaps she's just keeping her own counsel, although I wouldn't expect her to not do something.

The arc of Batman without an alter ego runs its course in this volume, bringing Bruce to yet another moment of truth. We get to see a crack in the facade and the chance that he will allow Bruce Wayne to exist again and his family to help him. The true killer's identity is revealed!
Sasha is a pretty positive female character, she seems like an almost sane addition to the bat-family, so I'm not sure why I don't like her. She just seems a little like a Mary Sue dropped in to further the plot and play a role without a character of her own.
The beginning drags as we get insight into some shmuck from Checkmate but once it shifts back to the actual relevant plot, it picks up strong.
