The Death of Alfred Pennyworth – is it All Batman's Fault? (Batman #79 Spoilers)

Today, in the utterly gorgeous Batman #79 by Tom King, Clay Mann, Seth Mann, Tomeu Morey and Clayton Cowles, we get a resolution on whether Batman or Catwoman met on the street or the boat. It's been quite a matter of contention in the series, reflecting both origins of Catwoman, from the forties and from the eighties.

But it is also revealed that these issues, on the beach, and well away from any City Of Bane, have been taking place before the previous issues. You know, the ones in which Damian Wayne went into the Bane-fied Gotham headstrong…

…despite warnings…

…took on his dimensional grandfather Batman…

and paid the price.

But in today's Batman #79, we discovered it wasn't quite such a headstrong decision afterall.

Did Bruce Wayne get Alfred Pennyworth killed at the hands of Bane? Just how safe was Alfred? Or was it all a trick? We were told not… but were we told wrong?

Batman #79 is published today – or last night at midnight f your store was participating in the JJ Abrams' Spider-Man #1 midnight release,
