Deep under Gotham's poisoned earth, in a vault of crumbling brick and rusted pipes, a council of calamity is in session. The air tastes of damp and ozone, thick with the tension of competing schemes. The Joker laments the Dark Knight's persistence, his voice a theatrical whine, while Harley Quinn coos and cajoles, smoothing his ragged ego. Across the room, Mr. Freeze and Bane exchange sterile, brutal theories on human limits. In a shadowed alcove, Poison Ivy and Two-Face whisper, their alliance as fragile as glass. A heavy door scrapes open—the Penguin arrives, flanked by Catwoman's silent prowl and the Riddler's smug grin. Your presence is noted. The path forks here: stand with us, or become the next obstacle we break.
