We've now reached the final leg of "City of Bane" and the true climax of Tom King's Batman run. After Batman #83, there are only two more issues before King leaves the series and transitions over to Batman/Catwoman. The series is still struggling even at this late stage to create a true sense of urgency and finality. But issue #83 does accomplish at least one important goal as it provides closure to the latest grand tragedy in Bruce Wayne's life.
While Bane murdering Alfred in Batman #77 ranks among the darkest developments in an already bleak series, it's been difficult to know whether to take that death at face value. There are too many potential ways in which it could be undone or revealed as a red herring. Only with the recent announcement of the epilogue special Batman: Pennyworth RIP did it become clear Alfred's death is actually going stick (for the time being, at least). The problem with that upcoming issue is that it doesn't feature any work from King himself. Surely the writer responsible for killing off Bruce Wayne's oldest and dearest ally should have a say in sending him off. That's where Batman #83 comes in.
