Gotham’s streets are a black mirror under the neon smear, and a solitary shape cuts through the throng, her destination a fortified door under a grim awning. Two sentries block her path, but a sharp, quiet exchange sees them relent. She is escorted downward, into the city’s raw, beating heart where the Red Hood’s influence holds sway. The damp air thrums with the crowd’s roar from a sunken fighting pit. Guided up to a secluded box perched above the fray, she hesitates as the door swings inward. Within, shadows cling to the contours of a powerful frame seated at a desk, sleeves rolled to the elbows, a pen abandoned beside an open ledger. He looks up, and his gaze cuts through the gloom.
