BATMEN ETERNAL, FINALE

Brother Eye confronts Batwoman, but is interrupted by Spoiler, who has hacked into the system. Ulysses orders all OMACs to converge on the Belfry, and Batman and Orphan fight them off to buy Spoiler enough time to get through to Tim. Spoiler reveals that in truth, Batwoman killed Batman with his blessing, and that he was already dying of radiation exposure that he had endured while constructing the Brother Eye satellite. This new information causes Tim to break through the Brother Eye programming. The OMACs return to their previous selves, and Batman destroys the Belfry as Tim and Kate reconcile.
Three weeks later, Bruce and Kate have dinner and discuss the future. Kate expresses her intention to take time to figure things out, and as she leaves the restaurant she is seen on the phone with her father Jacob Kane, discussing a mission she says is a job for Batwoman.  At Thompkin's Free Clinic, Cassandra Cain gets tutored by Barbara Gordon, and surprises her by quoting Shakespeare. Outside, Basil Karlo turns away, satisfied that Cass is doing well, and drives out of Gotham with Dr. Victoria October.  At Wayne Manor, Tim and Bruce say goodbye. Tim says he is going to University, but as he gets in the car it is revealed that he and Steph are going to go find out more about the universe that Tim's alternate self came from.  Alfred alerts Batman that Tim has left the city, and notes that his tracker is heading in the opposite direction from Ivy University. Batman tells him to turn the tracker off, saying "I trust him".
