The final Joker reveal - I really liked how it tied into the killing joke with a very believable retcon. He also showed some respect and cooperation with his allies which strangely has been absent despite the many teams ups. After the depressing jerk batman from Tom Kings run, this is a batman I can look up to and respect. That's a super hero move and one that makes me like the character so much more. The best part for me was Bruce forgiving Joe Chill.
This was a near perfect ending! I went into this pretty skeptical and came out loving it. Barbara pretending to be fine as pain and anger is channeled into the runner, yet she is the most balanced of the three. Jason single-handedly continues on his way as the Red Hood. Bruce apparently leaves everything, but in the end he concludes that everyone will follow his destiny, Bruce without freeing himself from Batman now as the Joker said is the Joker the demon who tortures Batman to continue breaking him. On the other hand Barbara is still broken, she is not as strong as they always appear to be, her anger is channeled into the exercise. Jason just needs a push and is willing to change, unfortunately everything indicates that the message will never be sent. A painful moment was the letter, Jason needs support, Barbara (a romantic relationship is not necessary, even though Jason loves her, and it sounds reasonable, Jason from birth has never had the support or real care of anyone) could give it to him. It was really good that it was not about Jason to turn him into a Joker and that this last issue focused a little more on Batman, personally I would have liked a little more Jason.
Not surprising, the end is not an end actually leaving things unfinished. Yes, we can say that Geoff Johns follows the traditional line and did not do something silly like what happened in Batman Damned.
