This New 52 volume collects Detective Comics #8-12 and the Annual #1, following Batman as he faces a series of psychological threats orchestrated by the Scarecrow, who uses his fear toxin to manipulate Gotham's villains and heroes alike. The story also delves into the Joker's return and the fallout from the 'Death of the Family' crossover, with writer John Layman and artist Jason Fabok crafting a tense, horror-tinged arc that tests Batman's resolve against fear itself.
