Without a lot of moves to play, Bruce makes a deal with Alpha Owl, agreeing to stop looking into the secret organization, as well as into his parents’ murder, for protection for him and his loved ones.
It was apparently a plan he cooked up with Alfred, and we all know Bruce will never really give up the hunt for his parents’ killer, so…what now?
Every time I watch a Batman movie in the future, I’m going to imagine that particular version of Bruce Wayne also went through all the shit that Gotham’s billionaire is taking on.
Bruce’s plan to get some one-on-one attention from the Court of Owls was successful, even if his bait meant physical harm to Alfred and no obvious solution.
