Batman: Gotham Knights #23
Synopsis
FEAR OF SUCCESS The company Multigon somehow made it possible that Arkham Asylum inmate Jonathan Crane will hold a lecture to business people about the fear of success. Bruce Wayne decides to attend this lecture accompanied by his bodyguard Sasha Bordeaux. As expected Crane pulls a stunt to get to his Scarecrow mask and to spread some of his fear toxin. Bruce Wayne was able to put on his Batman costume in time and before following Scarecrow he slips an oxygen mask onto Sasha Bordeaux's face. Batman and Sasha are able to apprehend Scarecrow pretty quickly, but without Batman being exposed to the fear gas. Now Batman has to mentally fight hallucinations of Sasha who informs him something bad happened to several of his closest friends. First she mentions Alfred Pennyworth, then Tim Drake, then Leslie Thompkins and at last Lucius Fox. Next morning, Bruce Wayne is arriving at Wayne Enterprises where a horde of journalists are waiting for somebody to drop a comment. Bruce has no clue what this is about until Sasha Bordeaux tells him (again) that Lucius is in the hospital because he had a stroke ... HERE BE MONSTERS
