[edit] Bruce Wayne: Murderer?
At the end of Batman: The 10-Cent Adventure #1, Bruce Wayne finds the dead body of his girlfriend, Vesper Fairchild in Wayne Manor. Promptly arrested by the Gotham Ciy Police Department, both Wayne and his bodyguard, Sasha Bordeaux, are imprisoned, leaving the Batman Family to work the crime and absolve them. Bruce escapes and announces his intention to no longer live as Bruce Wayne, but to be only Batman.
The story runs through Batgirl 24, Batman 599-600, Batman: Gotham Knights #25-26, Birds of Prey #39-40, Detective Comics #766-767, Nightwing #65-66, and Robin (Vol. 2) #98-99.
[edit] Bruce Wayne: Fugitive
With Batman free, the Batman Family continues to investigate the circumstances of the crime, however many start to doubt Bruce's innocence. At the same time, Batman launches his own, independent, investigation into his frame, and doggedly uncovers a conspiracy. Batman reveals to the Batman Family that the murderer is David Cain. Cain had been hired by then-President Lex Luthor to discredit Bruce Wayne for his stance against Luthor during the No Man's Land storyline.
This story runs through Azrael #91, Batgirl #27 and 29, Batman #600-601, 603, and 605, Batman: Gotham Knights #27-28 and 30-31, Birds of Prey #41-43, Detective Comics #768-772, and Nightwing #68-69.
[edit] Graphic Novel Collections
The stories from Murder are collected into a graphic novel titled Batman: Bruce Wayne - Murderer? (ISBN 1-56389-913-2). The Fugitive storyline is collected with Azrael edited out (causing the omission of Azrael #91 and Batman: Gotham Knights #30) into a pair of graphic novels title Batman: Bruce Wayne - Fugitive Volume 1 (ISBN 1-56389-933-7) and Batman: Bruce Wayne - Fugitive Volume 2 (ISBN 1-56389-947-7). A third volume (Batman: Bruce Wayne - Fugitive Volume 3 ISBN 1-4012-0079-6) was published that includes post Fugitive stories involving the relationships between Batman, Batgirl, Sasha, and Cain. These stories are not considered to be part of the Fugitive event.
