This was never a peaceful city. Even before the Batman, before the monsters he created began their reign of terror, a darkness always hung thick in the air. An impermeable ominous air, thick as the smog that wrapped around the buildings with thick fingers. The Wayne family was no stranger to the history of the city they had always called home. However, they took it upon themselves to do something about it. Clean up the streets. Make a real difference. Of course, this won them more enemies than friends. When Thomas and Martha Wayne died, everything changed. All eyes turned to their only son, Bruce. In time, Bruce Wayne grew into a man his parents would be proud of. While in the public eye as much as he was, it was quite a feat to maintain a secret identity on the side. But, with the family he gathered over the years, Bruce Wayne took to the streets as the Batman, continuing the legacy his parents started. Now, though, things are changing. With the Batman came the Joker; two sides of the same coin, perfect foils of each other. The Joker left his mark on the city in a greater way than anyone could imagine. While he sits, planned, tucked away in the abandoned amusement park he’s grown to call home, the city drinks in the new life he’s given in. No longer is Gotham City the maze of snow and cold steel it was under the sole influence of Batman. Now halted somewhere in time, not quite any one place specifically, the city gathers a unique charm, much like your grandmother’s attic. Now the city is flashes of broken neon and jazz music oozing out of dance halls in the early hours of the morning. The criminal underworld has grown bolder, and the Justice League wonders if Batman can handle this alone. Against his wishes, Batman is now joined by his superhero colleagues, and they’ve recently begun their joint effort to restore order to Gotham. Of course, with new heroes come new villains, and so far this mission appears to be causing more harm than good. Will Gotham City ever return to normal, or is the damage permanent?
