Not my favorite art, but a great conclusion to Batman: Year Three. Bruce continuing to unravel after Jason's death as Bruce, Alfred and Dick deal with Anthony Zucco's release on parole. The story provides great insight into how Dick came to live with Bruce and some really great stuff with Alfred as he tries to manage Dick and Bruce's feelings at the time. It's a great way to see how all three of them deal with Jason's death: avoidance (Bruce), anger (Dick), and guilt (Alfred). Everyone feels as though they could have done more to avoid it.

The plot revolves around all of Gotham's crime bosses trying to get their hands on Zucco's ledger of crimes, so your typical Batman story.

Definitely a recommend for the story, along with issues #436 to here.
