On January 1st, Bat-Dad was surprised Little Batman was leaving home because it was Tuesday and Alfred Pennyworth made his mincemeat pies on Tuesdays. Little Batman told it to get him directions to the worst place in Gotham City. Bat-Dad asked if he was thinking of the Bratwurst Palace. They went to the East End to look for suspicious characters who would know about Bruce Wayne's kidnapping. Bat-Dad noted it only saw a bunch of fancy ice cream parlors and four-star pet hotels. Little Batman couldn't believe Batman cleaned the whole place up himself. People started noticing Little Batman. Bat-Dad believed it was a little too much attention. Three hoods tried to get his attention. Bat-Dad suggested restraint but Little Batman fought them. Penguin arrived and doused Little Batman with Fear Toxin. Bat-Dad monitored his vitals as they went off the charts. Little Batman made his way to Arkham Asylum. Bat-Dad reminded him it was reformed into a daycare by his father before he was born.
Little Batman reckoned there had to be a place where the villains were kept. Bat-Dad suggested the place next door, a high security prison complex. He made his way to the High Security Wing and entered the room of Inmate 0564, the Joker. During the interrogation, Bat-Dad detected Joker was lying about not knowing about Fear Toxin. Back at the Batcave, he had Bat-Dad run an analysis on the toxin. Damian was surprised at the amount of research Batman already did on the toxin. He ordered Bat-Dad to see if there was anything about an antidote. Bat-Dad misheard and searched for candied goats. Little Batman arrived at Gotham Harbor and realized there was enough Fear Toxin on the barge to gas all of the city. He asked Bat-Dad why it wasn't disposed of. Bat-Dad revealed his father wanted to, but its environmental effects would be devastating so the safest option was the floating barge.
On his way to the abandoned wastewater facility, Little Batman got no crime alerts from Bat-Dad. He made his way through the ventilation shaft. Bat-Dad detected the presence of black mold. Little Batman didn't think it was a good time to worry about mold. Bat-Dad disagreed. It was about to summarize Scarecrow's plan when Little Batman interrupted, annoyed with everyone reiterating the plan. Bat-Dad asked him what his plan was. Little Batman stated he would save his dad, destroy the Fear Toxin, take down Scarecrow and the mean babysitter lady, then reform the entire Gotham City Police Department through targeted political policy. He admitted the last bit would have to wait. Bat-Dad warned they overshot the location of Bruce Wayne. Little Batman fell into a room and was surrounded by all of Scarecrow's henchmen but made short work of them. Wayne was surprised Little Batman invented a Fear Toxin Antidote. Little Batman admitted he had a little help. Bat-Dad was pleased he finally got some credit.
