storyline One of Wayne Enterprise's competitors hired Dr. Jonathan Crane to do a motivational speech for them on fear. Bruce and Sasha attended his lecture. Even though a troop of Arkham guards were there, Scarecrow somehow got into costume and gassed the area; Bruce also got into costume. He gave a rebreather to Sasha, and gave his own to some civilians caught in an elevator. Batman was affected by the gas. He took down Scarecrow and met Sasha. He envisioned her telling him bad things had happened to Alfred, Tim, Leslie, and Dick. When Bruce returned to his office, he learned Lucious Fox had suffered a stroke. 
+ Batman pursued Madame X. She dosed him with her own brand of fear gas, but he fought through it.
