Comment(s):

This story takes place before Dick Grayson was forced to resign as a cop in Nightwing Vol. 2 #82 (for Dick Grayson, probably between Nightwing Vol. 2 #78 and #79)

Synopsis:

As Felix Desidero arrives at Wayne Manor to interview Bruce Wayne and those close to him, Bruce goes out as Batman to solve a kidnapping case, which was, it transpires, staged by the victim and his father. He also encounters Man-Bat, who is tracking his son Aaron, who is discovered hiding in the bat-cave. Desidero's interviews with Alfred, Dick, Tim and Bruce convince him that Bruce Wayne was in no way negligent in his care of his wards, including Jason Todd, but suggests that it would probably be best if he didn't do it again.
