The Autobiography of Bruce Wayne
A few months prior to his death, Batman wrote his memoirs and the most important chapter is the one in which he fell in love with his long-time enemy, Catwoman. Certain night, Commissioner Gordon contacted Batman after the Scarecrow had escaped. Batman noticed that Scarecrow used some of his trademark fear gas to make Gordon hallucinate and he went looking for the criminal. However, Batman first needed to attend the wedding of an old lover, Linda Page, who he lost because of his crusade as Batman. While meeting Linda, Bruce also recalled the other women in his life that he abandoned because of his quest and at this point, Bruce Wayne seems like nothing more but a fake front to keep the Batman alive. During the wedding, the Scarecrow attacked and Bruce was forced to go into action. In the struggle, Batman was affected by the fear toxin, but he didn't notice and he started seeing his friends disappearing, vanishing in front of him, when in reality it was all an illusion. Batman left in a hurry, but when he couldn't contact any friend, he went for the only person he could trust, Catwoman.
