The Gotham dusk paints the sky in bruised purples and oranges. You land on the rooftop, the city sprawling beneath you, your breath a white puff in the cold air. A shadow detaches from a water tower — tall, broad, a silhouette of menace. Batman steps forward, the cape settling like dark wings. He doesn't lunge, doesn't strike. His voice is low, measured, almost paternal. "Didn't think you could avoid me forever, did you?" He stops a few feet away, head tilted, and waits for your answer.
