Shadow of the Bat Man History

Storylines:

 By Death's Eerie Light

Batman returned to the Wayne Foundation penthouse, where Bruce Wayne resided. As he entered, Alfred collapsed. He called for an ambulance, but there were none available. Bruce got Alfred to a hospital, then returned as Batman. Batman spoke with Gordon, who'd received a note from someone claiming responsibility for the epidemic. He called himself Dr. Phosphorus.

Batman soon learned the source of the illness - Gotham City's drinking water. Commissioner Gordon had been stricken already. Batman went to the reservoir and found the man at the heart of the situation - Dr. Phosphorus. He appeared to be the living embodiment of phosphorus and Batman was burned when they touched. They struggled into the water supply (which had been turned off). Phosphorus escaped.

The Master Plan of Dr. Phosphorus

Batman took down a smalltime burglar and was slapped with a subpoena. He went to see Gordon (who was recovering and sharing a hospital room with Alfred). Gordon knew nothing and figured it to be something of Thorne's doing.

Back in the cave, Batman received a call from Chief O'Hara. Now that Gordon was out of commission, the City Council had marked Batman as off-limits. O'Hara was brief: Dr. Phosphorus had struck at a concert. The Geiger counter picked up readings where Batman had been touched by Phosphorus. He headed to the power plant offshore, but was greeted hastily by the workers. He returned home.

Soon after, Bruce Wayne threw a party. Among the invitees were Rupert Thorne, Dr. Bell, and much of the city council. He also met a woman named Silver St. Cloud. He snuck away from the party (on his yacht in the harbor) and visited the power plant again. Dr. Phosphorus attacked him and was killed when he collided with the reactor. Batman returned to his boat; Wayne rejoined Silver and the party.
