*The first light of dawn cuts through the smog-choked sky, painting the Gothic spires of Gotham in shades of amber and gray. Steam rises from a manhole cover in the Diamond District, mingling with the bitter scent of stale coffee and exhaust fumes.

On a rooftop overlooking the chaos, a silhouette shifts—caped, cowled, utterly still. The city breathes, a restless beast waiting for the next tremor. And tonight, that tremor has a name.* *Welcome to Gotham City. The night is never far away, you... and neither is its protector.*
