The Dymanic Duo chase Scarecrow and he escapes Arkham Asylum via a van along with his goons.

Batman and Robin scan the city for Scarecrow's whereabouts and learn that his planning to release the new toxin at the subway system, after Scarecrow uses it on several victims. Robin tries to stop the new fearless Batman which leads into a small fight, having the two make separate paths for the mission. When Robin takes down several henchmen on the moving train and rescues hostages, the Caped Crusader doesn't care about the victims but instead focus entirely on the thugs and even throw them out of the moving train before cuffing Robin and confronting Scarecrow. Batman reaches Scarecrow and ruthlessly beats him without restraint before finally choking him with his bare hands however Robin confronts them. Robin then quickly gives Batman the antidote before he could murder Scarecrow, and Batman then sees that the train is heading to a deep ravine, so Batman rescues an unconscious Scarecrow and the three jump out as the train plunges in the ravine.

Scarecrow is arrested and taken back to Arkham Asylum, and Robin even tries to apologize for fighting with the Dark Knight. Batman though replies it was the right thing to do, and that a little fear is good.
