Bruce or Batman? Guilty or innocent? The can't-miss story is collected in Batman: Bruce Wayne - Murderer Turned Fugitive Omnibus!

After being found with the dead body of Vesper Fairchild in his arms, Bruce Wayne is arrested for her murder. Looking to prove Bruce's innocence, Nightwing, Robin and Batgirl quickly begin an investigation to discover the true killer. But as the mystery unfolds, evidence of Bruce's guilt mounts and even his closest allies begin to question their mentor's innocence. Tired of portraying himself as someone he is not and further embracing the freedom of his masked identity, Bruce decides to lay his millionaire playboy alter ego to rest and live life only as the Batman. 

Indicted for killing his sometime girlfriend Vesper Fairchild, Bruce Wayne is sent to Blackgate Prison...only to escape, launching a citywide manhunt. Now Batman has now gone to ground—renouncing his true identity and operating deeper in the shadows than ever before. It falls to his extended family—Nightwing, Robin, Oracle, Batgirl, Spoiler, and Alfred to figure out who really did commit the murder. While the clues point to a possible setup, no one can deny that those same clues might point to Batman's actual guilt.

Sergio Aragones

Sergio Aragonés is the most honored cartoonist alive, having won every major award in the field, including the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award and the Will Eisner Hall of Fame Award. Sergio's first contribution—"A Mad Look at the U.S. Space Effort"—appeared in MAD #76, cover-dated January of 1963. For that same issue, he also contributed the cover gag (the first of many) and his first Marginal Thinking cartoons to be printed in the magazine's margins. He has since appeared in every issue of MAD except for one and has done thousands of his unique pantomime cartoons. He also produced 16 bestselling original MAD paperback books. Sergio teamed with wordsmith Mark Evanier to bring forth the adventures of Groo the Wanderer. Groo quickly became one of the longest-running "creator-owned" comic book properties, outlasting many of the companies that published it. Sergio and Mark have also produced other comics, including Fanboy, Boogeyman, The Mighty Magnor, Blair Which?, and an acclaimed series in which, together, they trash famous characters: Sergio Aragonés Massacres Marvel, Sergio Aragonés Destroys DC, and Sergio Aragonés Stomps Star Wars. For their comic book work, they have received multiple Eisner awards.
