Detective Comics #701 is an issue of the series Detective Comics (Volume 1) with a cover date of September, 1996.

Synopsis for "Legacy, Part Six: Gotham's Scourge"

Batman, Nightwing, Robin and Huntress are watching over some specific attraction centers in Gotham City to prevent the release of the new strain of the Ebola Gulf-A virus. Batman was watchin a Casino that would open the next day when he spotted two men that were speaking farsi. He knew that Ra's planned to release the virus at the opening ceremony of the Casino. Batman told Nightwing and the others to start looking for Ra's al Ghul's ship while he found a way to take the virus away.

Batman started to look inside the Casino for the most likely place to release a virus. While he evaded the shooting from the casino guard's, he followed a clue that lead him to the casino's kitchen. He knocked some thugs and opened a gas valve with the intentions of burning the entire place and by doing so, eliminating the virus. While he was at it, Bane arrived and the both of them engaged in combat. Batman endured long enough to leave the gas fill the kitchen. Batman locked himself in a storage cabin when the gas was about to ignite. Bane understood Batman's plan just in time to find cover and managed to survive the explosion that burned the Casino entirely.

Once outside, Batman and Bane retook the fight in the shore. Bane had the upper hand and was about to drown Batman in the sea when Batman remembered the night that forged him and his strength came back along with a renewed rage. With the new strength, Batman managed to subdue Bane but when Batman planned to take him into police's custody, the tide rose and took Bane into deep waters. Batman was too exhausted from the confrontation and couldn't follow Bane.

Nightwing and the others contacted Oracle to find out where the ship of Ra's al Ghul was. They were headed towards Ra's without knowing that Ra's plan was to eliminate all of them.
