The Hallucination
"If one refuses to be controlled by his fears, then he must face them" - Scarecrow

The "Knightmare" is met when Knight Owl first get's injected with Scarecrow's most virulent fear toxin, in order to drive Batman's most promising successor mad. "Knightmare" is Will if he succumbed to his more cynical nature and "snapped." "Knightmare" has lost every ally he ever had and he began a one man genocidal campiagn to rid the world of whoever he felt were inferior to him, starting with people he once loved. Seeing such drescruction and cruelty come from a man with his own face nearly drove Will mad, and, upon realizing that he could just as easily become that, decided to hang up his cape and cowl, and retired.
