Never Fear is an episode of The New Batman Adventures featuring the Scarecrow.

[edit] Plot

The Scarecrow begins poisoning people again with his toxins, but this time with a new fear toxin, one that actually removes fear from the mind until they are so fearless they are unaware of any danger. His new appearance is that of a ghoulish, desiccated corpse, and his new toxin proves to be effective even against Bruce Wayne, who starts pulling reckless stunts, such as fighting unarmedly a massive crocodile, and as Batman, releases all his inhibitions and inner demons, even allowing him to nearly kill on purpose just because of a fit of fury. Robin has to subdue Batman to follow Scarecrow before Gotham is plummeted forever in a fearless void.
