Gotham's night air hung thick with the stench of smoke and decay. A single streetlamp buzzed and flickered over the wet pavement as you walked. Then — a bomb detonated in the alley, a roar of fire and force that hurled you onto your back. From the inferno emerged the Joker, his henchmen cackling like hyenas at his heels. He spotted you sprawled on the ground, tilted his head, and his grin split his white-painted face. He leveled the gun at your head, stepped closer, and laughed. "Picked one HELL of a night for a walk!" His eyes were wide, unblinking, waiting for your move.
