Plot

Joker has been dead for nine months and crime rates have declined in Gotham City. Joker had sent his mutated blood to Gotham’s hospitals. Many people have been infected and start to act and look like joker.

On the other hand, Scarecrow brings his latest fear to a diner on Halloween’s night. It is a fear gas that he threatens to release throughout Gotham. While most of the civilians evacuate the city, the villains stay behind. Commissioner James Gordon and his team of police officers are outnumbered. Batman tracks Scarecrow and is able to rescue Poison Ivy from the rooftop of a safehouse where she was captured and kept by Scarecrow’s henchman.

Barbara Gordon, James Gordon’s daughter is collecting information on the toxin which is being used by Scarecrow. She traces it to Ace Chemicals where Batman goes to gather more information. The mysterious “Arkham Knight” confronts Batman. Batman soon finds out that Scarecrow has set the building to explode, and Batman is exposed to the fear gas which reacts with his mutated blood.

Batman finds out that Barbara has been abducted by the Arkham Knight and he is compelled to inform James Gordon of the abduction. This outrages Gordon who decides to find his daughter without Batman’s help.

Batman continues in his efforts to stop Scarecrow and Arkham Knight. He gets a message from Scarecrow that Barbara is being held captive in the same safehouse where Poison Ivy was kept. Barbara shoots herself after being doused in the fear toxin.

Alfred Pennyworth tells Batman that Gotham city will be flooded with the fear toxin with the help of Cloudburst. Poison Ivy takes control of a tree that produces massive flowers which can neutralize the effect of the toxin.

In another part of the city, joker’s mutants are being gathered by Harley Quinn to keep joker’s legacy alive. Batman and Robin capture Harley and free the hostages. Henry Adams who is also infected, has succumbed to the mutations, and kills all the hostages. He shoots himself when he is confronted by Batman.
