Another of my favorite Batman stories is in
BATMAN 347, scripted by Roger Slifer, with art by Trevor Von Eeden. A story about two petty criminals, one trying to get the other to join him on a robbery heist, and the other afraid of being caught by Batman. The two thugs exchange stories about the remarkably fearless and almost supernaturally ever-present way Batman has intervened to capture criminals they knew in their own neighborhood. The story also has some intelligent and remarkably sentimental moments and political twists.
A fill-in issue that I found far better than the Moench/Colan/Alcala run that it was published in the middle of.
