''Batman: Legacy'' is a ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' BatFamilyCrossover released in 1996 by Creator/DCComics. It is the sequel to ''ComicBook/BatmanContagion''.
Gotham City is slowly recovering from the outbreak of the Ebola Gulf A Virus, also known as "The Clench", that nearly destroyed the city when it was infected. However, when former mayor Armond Kohl is found dead with the same symptoms as before, Batman and his allies learn the truth -- the virus wasn't cured, but made dormant and it's now mutated. Pointed out by Azrael to a location in Sudan, Batman and his allies begin a worldwide adventure to stop an old foe from unleashing an even deadlier version of the virus across the world and save those infected by the earlier virus.
The event had a number of prologue issues in ''Detective Comics'' #697-99, ''Robin'' #31, ''Catwoman'' #33-35, ''Shadow of the Bat'' #53, and ''Batman'' #533 before kicking off with ''Detective Comics'' #700 and running through ''Catwoman'' #36, ''Robin'' #32-33, ''Batman'' #534 and ''Detective Comics'' #701-702.

!!Tropes Featured In This Storyline:
* BigBad: Ra's al Ghul returns to prominence here, being the mastermind behind everything.
* TheBusCameBack: Bane returns in this storyline as a major player since the events of ''ComicBook/{{Knightfall}}''. This story also sees the return of Ra's al Ghul and his daughter Talia, though this one's a little murkier -- read ContinuitySnarl below.
* ContinuitySnarl: Whoo, boy. This story treats this book as the first time the Tim Drake Robin met Ra's al Ghul. However, Tim had already met and fought Ra's before in the one-shot ''Batman: Bride of the Demon''. This is because, at the time of the story's writing, the ''Birth of the Demon'' Trilogy -- ''Son'', ''Bride'' and ''Birth'' -- had been declared CanonDiscontinuity by Batman Family editor Denny O'Neil as he and others didn't like the idea of Batman having a son out of wedlock.
* FlawedPrototype: [[spoiler: The Clench is revealed to have been this -- Ra's and his men developed the virus, but it wasn't finished when the Order of St. Dumas stole it and released it earlier]].
* GodzillaThreshold: Batman is forced to recruit Huntress to watch over Gotham. Even Huntress is shocked at this, thinking he'd turned to other vigilantes like Pagan or Joe Public.
