After popping the question to Selina Kyle, Catwoman, we haven't had an answer. Because Bruce Wayne has a story to tell her. We've seen Batman deal with the possibility that Catwoman may have murdered over a hundred people during this run, but does Bruce Wayne have something even worse?
Tom King gave Bruce Wayne a history of suicide attempts. How laissez-faire was Bruce with other people's lives?
