Ratings and reviews

The conclusion of the massive 'Murderer\Fugitive' series. In this volume we learn who the murderer is and some loose ends are wrapped up. The book does this well enough but the meat of the story is the conflict between Bruce Wayne and Batman with the Dark Knight denying the persona of Bruce Wayne and going it alone. This creates a division between Batman and the whole Bat-family that plays out well. This aspect is made stronger by the quality of the writing and the consistency of the artwork. This was a good book all around and deserving of high rank in the Batman universe.

I read BW Murderer some years back, and it took me for ever to get over the fact I may never know the conclusion...now that I found it I feel some completion in life. The writing, story-telling, art is phenomenal...if you're a Batman fan you'll love this comic

This was great I was hooked into the story
