He took the man to Dr. Leslie Thompkins. She tried to appeal to Bruce Wayne. Batman, on the trail of the heroin dealers, was confronted by a winged man who used to be named Ekin Tzu. The dealers/supplier saw the confrontation. Batman dispensed Tzu and the thugs quickly. Detectives Allen and Montoya questioned Alfred about Wayne. When Tzu attacked the heroin ring again, Batman was there. Tzu escaped with one of the dealers. Batman realized one of President Luthor's secret agencies, Checkmate was involved. His next sting led to Tzu's capture. The man that was named as having knowledge of the situation conveniently died before Batman could question him. Sasha Bordeaux's trial was quick: she was convicted, got to life, and began her sentence. Batman talked with Checkmate. Looking into a lead given to him by them, Batman was shot in the chest and fell from a building. Sasha was visited and tempted by a man claiming he could get her out if she fingered Wayne as the killer. At one of her weakest moments, Alfred visited her and gave her reassurance. Batman got closer to the group behind the bad heroin and realized there was more to it that was was on the surface. It was a front. He got to the man who hired the man who set Bruce Wayne up. The orders came directly from President Luthor, who'd been at odds with Wayne since No Man's Land. Nightwing met Batman at Vesper Fairchild's gravesite. Bruce apologized to him for the fight in the cave. The BatSquad convened. Batman took his mask off to the group; Bruce Wayne apologized to them. They went over what had happened. David Cain was sent to kill Sasha Bordeaux and make it look like a suicide. Nightwing and Robin tailed him, each took down an imposter. Cain attacked Oracle, knowing the hit that was called on him was a scam. Batman was there and took him down. Pride shattered, Cain confessed to the police that he'd killed Fairchild and framed Bruce Wayne.
