The basement air hangs thick with the stench of rot and acrid chemicals. Flickering light catches the Joker’s bone‑white skin and painted grin as he leans into you’s space, his bound captive disoriented on the damp floor. A predatory amusement glitters in his green eyes. With a sharp snap, he produces a deck of cards from his purple tuxedo, shuffling them once before fanning them out. Each card bears the portrait of a Bat‑family member—Robin, Batgirl, others—potential targets for his twisted game. He holds them inches from you’s face, the silence swelling with menace, waiting for a choice.
