Batman: City of Fear

(Sequel to Batman: Chaos)

Murderings of city officials sweep Gotham with a common thread between them being a chemical that breaks out your greatest fears and makes you live them until you die in them. Batman investigates at the crime scene. The chemicals can be found in the lab of Kirk Langstrom. He looks at camera footage and finds a man wearing a scarecrow mask rolling some canisters through a hallway. Batman visits E. Nygma at GothCorp and finds that Langstrom was fired for illegally experimenting on bats. Batman asks Harvey Dent about Langstrom. Batman finds that he has an apartment in Bristol. Batman stops by the apartment and interrogates Langstrom, who sold to the man. Batman goes to Penguin for info. He says Scarecrow works at WayneEnterprises. Batman goes through the staff and sees Jonathan Crane. Crane matches the bio of Scarecrow. He finds Crane’s lab and sees the chemicals. Scarecrow then gasses Batman. He sees a vision of his greatest fears. Batman falls out a window and he escapes. Batman gets Alfred to help him get over his fear and goes after Scarecrow. Batman finds out that Scarecrow is keeping the major offices hostage. Batman sneaks to an abandoned Arkham. He is gassed by Scarecrow but walks through the gas, beats Scarecrow, and the bombs go off. After that, he sprays the gas in his face. Crane squirms as he sees lots of Bats descending on him and gets knocked out by Batman. Batman takes Crane to the Commissioner, who was out of the building, but the rest weren’t so lucky
