Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight (Volume 1) with a cover date of October, 1993.
Synopsis for "Tao, Part One: Bat"
Batman saves a casino owner in Chinatown from gangsters sent to shake him down by Johnny Khan, and the gangsters are arrested, but none of them will turn on Khan and the casino owner won't admit it was him either.
A man called Dragon kills three fortune tellers, and Bruce Wayne realizes that besides using their deaths to end the mystical protection on Khan's headquarters, he is sending Bruce a message. He had met Dragon many years ago when they studied under rival Taoists. Bruce saved his life, shaming him, and now he wants revenge.
Batman goes to Khan's headquarters, figuring Dragon will kill him that night, but he himself is caught and held at gunpoint by Khan and his men.
