Synopsis: This issue is part five of the Bruce Wayne: Fugitive
storyline. Spoiler seems to be going to investigate a crime scene, but
falls victim to Batgirl’s sense of humour. You’ll have to buy this issue
to see what I mean. A bunch of heavily armed men are entering a building,
and Batgirl knocks Spoiler out before going after them. Inside, Batgirl
beats the crap out of the men and then leaves… only to bump into Batman,
who looks like Hell. Batgirl wants to help him, but he reminds her of her
fight with Shiva, which allows her to understand that he must work things
out about his murder case on his own. In Oracle’s apartment, Spoiler argues
with Batgirl since her jaw is throbbing in pain. When Spoiler leaves, we
find out Batgirl had used a nerve strike when she knocked Spoiler out.
Oracle then discusses the Bruce Wayne murder situation with Batgirl. Things
are not going well. Later, at the cemetery, Batgirl digs up the murdered
woman’s grave and discovers that she had been hit by a nerve strike to
the jaw. Later still, Batgirl resumes her game of tag with Spoiler. (So,
that’s what they were doing at the beginning of the issue!) Meanwhile,
in a restaurant, we found out who had sent the armed men from earlier in
the issue! Uh oh!
