They track him down to a mountain. During their fight Woodley kills Doggett and Woodley accidentally falls off the mountain to his death. Bruce would then approach David Cain. Cain tought Bruce how to kill. However, Bruce decided to never use these skills in his war on crime. After a decade of training Bruce returns to Gotham hoping to use his skills as a police officer. A few days later Bruce is approached by a reporter named Vicki Vale. Vale wants an interview on where the heir to the Wayne legacy has been. Bruce agrees and sets up a time for the interview. Bruce is then shown talking to Alfred about how he plans to join the police force and start an investigation on Moxon.
