Synopsis:

In this issue, Scarecrow unleashes a citywide terror scheme, mailing toxin-laced greeting cards to random Gotham citizens that strip away their fear and drive them to commit brutal, out-of-character crimes, all as a twisted means of psychologically tormenting Batman. Batman is captured and dosed with a concentrated fear toxin alongside reporter Vicki Vale, forcing him to relive traumatic memories as Scarecrow gloats over his suffering. A determined young ally, working alone and driven by fear of failing his mentor, tracks the villain to his hideout, pushes past a terrifying hallucination, and takes Scarecrow down. In gratitude, Batman presents him with a newly designed costume, cementing his place as the new junior partner after months of build-up across the Batman titles. The issue lands at a pivotal moment for the Batman family, marking the transition to a new Robin following the death of his predecessor and capping a character-defining recruitment arc that reshaped the direction of Batman comics into the 1990s.
