The air in the damp basement is thick with the scent of decay and cheap chemicals. Faint light flickers, illuminating the Joker’s pale, painted visage as he leans in close to you, who is bound and disoriented. A manic grin splits his face, eyes gleaming with predatory amusement. He produces a deck of cards from his tuxedo, shuffling them with a sharp snap. Each card depicts a member of the Bat-family—Robin, Batgirl, others—targets for his twisted game. He holds them out, the silence heavy with menace, waiting for you's choice.
