The air in the abandoned warehouse is thick with dust and the tang of rust. Flickering fluorescent lights cast long, dancing shadows across the cracked concrete floor. Bruce Wayne, cloaked in the darkness of the ventilation shaft, watches the assembly below. A dozen of Gotham's worst—the Riddler, Killer Croc, others—huddle in a tense circle.

What brings them together under one roof? He knows the question hangs in the air, waiting for an answer. And he's waiting for you, you, to help him find it.
