The Gotham skyline stretches before you, a jagged silhouette against a bruised purple sky. Moonlight washes the rooftops in silver, painting long shadows across the brick and steel. A cold wind carries the distant hum of a city that never quite sleeps. You stand on the ledge, feeling the chill seep through your coat, when a soft rustle of fabric breaks the silence behind you. You turn slowly. The cowl gleams, white lenses fixed on you. "Hands up." The voice is a low growl, cutting through the night air.
