Labratory
There was a man in a ragged mask with a brown trench coat while having a gauntlet and some black boots while the other man tied to the chair had a mechanical grey and black suit with a cape
"Do you see Gotham you have no savior no hope no batman" said the man before injecting the man with his syringes
The batman grew dark veins all over his face and eyes turned a light green until a moment later they disappeared
"I'm not afraid crane" said the batman
"Impossible without fear life is meaningless" said crane pulling out a gun to shoot batman only for his gun to be shot right of his hand by a sniper wearing a red mask and then the sniper shot at one of the bracers that tied Batman down to the chair Crane tried desperately to inject Batman again only to for Batman to choke him with one hand and grab his gauntlet in the other hand
"No!"said the man been choked while his own claw was about to be injected in him
"What's wrong scared?said the batman while injecting crane with his own claw
The batman shoved crane out of his hold once he did crane removed the claw only to start hallucinating from the injection
He started seeing images of bats around him and the whole room turned orange crane tried to swat the bats and then started seeing a demonic part bat part men and so only thing he did was scream in pure fear while running only to be punched in the face by a man with glasses who looked to be in his 50's wearing a cop uniform then the police officer bent down to pick up the boy that was wounded by the shot
"He's strong he's going to be okay"said the police officer
"Look after him Jim look after them have been a good friend the best I could ask you were there at the beginning now you get to see how it ends"said the batman turning around before getting shot in the face with a pistol
"Your incredibly right you do get to see how it ends I wasn't able to make you feel the most agonizing fear in the world but I have won at killing the batman
said crane smirking
"No!"said jim in shock right before a bullet was put through his head
"How?'said the boy scowling
"How?How did I beat the Batman little robin how did I beat how did I kill him I always keep two pistols with me one as a spare learned that lesson from Harvey Dent"said crane curious with a smirk
"How are you not affected by your fear toxin?"said Robin
"I have exposed myself to my most deadliest fear toxins for years I have no fear gues my life is meaningless as well that was all a act I saw another opportunity to kill I took it thanks to Bruce showing mercy I played my part and here where are now thanks to your mentors self righteousness it got him killed and now it will seal your fate as well"said the man about shoot the boy until the gun was blasted out of his hand again and he would have also had a bullet through his head as well if he didn't dodge into cover
"Ah Jason is still out there shooting he's a fool he was so worried about getting vengeance he didn't realize what modifications I did to the suit"said the man while taking out the remote
As Jason saw the remote and how his whole suit was lit up by red lights he knew that was his last moments until finally the suit exploded killing Jason
"And as for you let fear guide even in death"said crane picking up the gun and shooting robin in the head with it
"Jonathan Crane or better known as Scarecrow"said a voice
"Who's there"said the man looking around the room only to find nobody
(It can't be swat I got this placed locked down)said Scarecrow nervous
"Let's go to my realm so it will be easier to talk"said the voice
The Void
As soon as Scarecrow blinked and opened his eyes again he saw buildings were crumbled and broken around him while levitating and the same place he stood at was floating too then the whole sky was purple like they were in space
"Hello I am known as the outsider"said the outsider
"What do you want" said the Scarecrow scowling
"You interest me Crane out of all the adversaries Bruce Wayne has faced you were the one who defeated him proving to be more dangerous than Bruce Wayne's greatest adversary The Joker" said the outsider
"I have studied the bat for years I have failed at killing him for the last time and now I have defeated him so there is nothing that will stop all of Gotham from feeling terror" said Scarecrow smiling in victory
"But how will people fear if they have no hope" said the Outsider
"What?" said Scarecrow confused
"Gotham has no one to save them so they have no fear because they know they are going to die they can't even fear death anymore" said the Outsider
"Be quiet can't you see I have made them feel horror unimaginable at Batman's death" said the Scarecrow furious
"You have only made them feel hopeless and now suicidal the Batman was the best thing to happen to you people had fear that one day what if Batman can't save me from Scarecrow what if Batman can't cure me of this fear toxin what if Batman is defeated by Scarecrow and now that fear has come true they have nothing else to fear not even you to them you are now just another psychotic who has no other purpose in life" said the Outsider
"Shut up" said the Scarecrow trying to shoot the Outsider
The bullets just phased right through the outsider and then the gun just disintegrated
"I'll forgive you for trying to harm me but know let me show you how the Batman came to be " said the Outsider
Theater
"We're am I" said Scarecrow
"You'll find out just watch" said the outsider
A little boy with his parents came walking out the theater
*Is that"said Scarecrow shocked pointing to the little boy
"Meet Bruce Wayne" said the outsider
Just then a man with a coat and pants came out the shadows with a pistol aimed at them
"Give me all your money I know you got something with those types of clothes" said the mugger
"Please don't do this" said the mother
"Do you think this a fucking joke bitch get me that necklace" said the mugger
Just then the father grabbed the man's gun struggling with him
"He's about to die and so will his mother Bruce Wayne will have no parents giving birth to his counterpart the Batman
Suddenly Scarecrow jumped in and injected the man with fear toxin
" Run!"warned the scarecrow
The parents and Bruce Wayne ran away from the alley as fast as they could
"You will experience the most horrorfic fear in your life and if I see you ever again I will kill you understand?" said Scarecrow
Y-Yes"said the criminal shaking while running away screaming
"Why did you save them you didn't know them" said the outsider
"I don't know" said the Scarecrow
"I think I know its because you felt the same he felt not having a father or mother to love you feeling that pain or maybe you wanted to destroy the existence of batman completely" said the outsider
"I don't know" said the scarecrow
"Let's go back"said the outsider
The Void
"You have impressed me not once but twice for not only revealing Bruce Wayne's deepest secret but also killing the great detective which is why I offer you two gifts my first is my mark"said the outsider.
Soon there was a strange marked burned into Scarecrow"s right hand where his gauntlet was that just disintegrated
" You will not need that weapon anymore for now you can control fear itself you can also summon crows and turn invisible for a minute and now for my second gift another chance at life now go!"said the outsider
"Oh and do realize saving Bruce's Parents will be the biggest change to your new life" said the Outsider
Then everything faded to black
