Clayface: Fuck you, Charlie.
Alfred: It seems that no matter how many times you are gotten rid of, you keep coming back. You go to jail, you get out, you are committed, you escape, you die and are resurrected, and every time, you come after Master Bruce.
Alfred walks off.
Clayface: He tried to kill me!
Alfred comes back with the garden hose and drapes it over the side of the well so that the nozzle is pointed towards Clayface and is too far away for Clayface to grab.
Alfred: Batman doesn't kill people. He believes that there is no circumstance where it is okay to kill a person. He has believed so since his parents' death.
Alfred: Thankfully, I don't have that problem.
Alfred leaves and turns the garden hose on.
The last panel is a horizontal panel of the well with the hose in it, the house with its doors destroyed and the car askew in the driveway in the background, and the yard showing. No one is in sight.

An arm comes lashing out of Catwoman's neck and grabs Batman's throat. Catwoman is revealed as Clayface.
Clayface: No. I'm not.
The clay from the horrible Clayface arm creeps up to envelope Batman's face.
Batman grabs his utility belt off the back of the chair, wraps it around Clayface's arm, and squeezes the arm apart, like squeezing a space in a tube of toothpaste. This is while Clayface is trying to immobilize and smother Batman.
Batman wrenches free. Clayface continues to lash out at Batman. Batman dodges.

Catwoman starts to walk towards Batman.
Catwoman: Listen to me!
Catwoman collects herself.
Catwoman: You're right. I have been holding back, but I'm not now.
By this point she has come close enough to Batman to kiss him and appears to have reached up to do so.
Catwoman: I love you.
Batman (starts laughing): I know who Catwoman is. You're not Catwoman.

Batman: I can't say I'm surprised you're here.
Catwoman (teasingly): Now that I know who you are, I couldn't stay away.
Batman (tersely): What do you want?
Catwoman slumps her shoulders and is saddened that she wasn't greeted happily.
Catwoman: Bruce, don't you realize that if you had told me who you were, we could have had a life together?
Batman: What do you mean?
Catwoman (hurt shouting and getting up from the bed): You were always holding back!
Batman (angry): The same could be said of you!
Catwoman (now angry but still hurt): The difference is that I wouldn't have hauled you off to jail!
Batman (seething): I don't break the law.
Catwoman: Yes you do! Yes you God damn do! You're a fucking vigilante and you break the law every night you go out!
Batman (calmly): Get out.

Batman: Thanks, Alfred. You're a help.
Alfred: You misunderstand me, sir.
New Panel
Alfred: You are able to make your choices you did because of your station. The people of Gotham face the same tragedies you do, but they aren't able to make the choice you did. Now, for good or ill, they can now. All you are doing is providing the means to make that choice, sir.

Pulling into Wayne Manor, there is a decorative well in the front yard. There is an oak tree next to the well with a large branch that extends over the well.
Batman: Perhaps you're right, Alfred.
Alfred: Of course I am, sir.

The limo manages to break free of the crowd and Alfred drives away. As the limo drives through Gotham, people are managing to anticipate the limo's route. People are lining the streets. Some hold signs supporting Batman, some hold signs damning, while a couple support the Joker. Fights may break out between all three. You decide.
Batman: Alfred. Am I doing the right thing?
Alfred: I don't know, Master Bruce.
