I remember this issue. Concluding a saga that spanned the Spring and Summer of '02. Come on. Who actually believed Bruce Wayne would kill? Even to protect his secret? Did the writers actually believe any reader had doubts? Nah. If he keeps himself from killing the Joker why would a 5th rate love interest drive him to it? I have to say , I suspected Hugo Strange of framing him. What other foe would be that smart? Especially when only a handful know his identity? Bane? Don't make me laugh. Ra's Al Ghul? Smart enough, but not his style. But this would be right up Hugo's alley. But, no. It turns out to be some guy I never heard of. I never paid attention to the Batgirl of that time or her history, and I missed on most of the No man's land days , so the guy was nobody to me. I was disappointed it wasn't Hugo, but I was happy that pointless mystery came to an end. Not my favorite plot, but it was still put together pretty well. more

batman's crossover events are awful, at least this one is better than war games
