WARNING: I expect this RP to contain graphic violence and language, and will contain more than mild horror themes as well as whatever dark, twisted ideas and side-plots the various villains of thie roleplay can come up with. You have been warned.

Batman: A Night in Gotham
Things have definitely not been going well for Gotham City in recent days, not since the assimilation of the Arkham Asylum into the city proper. The new political movement that was spear-headed by the mysterious "J.P.T" movement caused too much pressure on the mayor, and with things seemingly quietened down in terms of the levels of crime in the city -thanks largely in part to Batman-a new building was established, a highly maximum security prison and, over a period of a few weeks, those inmates who had once been housed on the seperate island in the Arkham Asylum were now inside the city once again. The mayor thought this would solve everything, and since the "J.P.T" group had gone into hiding afterwards it had seemed too...
And that's when everything had fallen apart.
The "New-Arkham" as it was called literally exploded, the fifteen-foot high walls around the new super-prison demolished in an instant one dark and rainy night, and from there all the super-villains who had so plagued the streets of Gotham escaped. The Joker, The Riddler, Two-Face, The Penguin, Bane, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy... all free and loose inside Gotham once more. The mayor was overthrown later the next day, some say he was killed and some say he went into hiding, but all that was known was that a new mayor was elected; a man who goes by the name of Oswald C. Iceberg...
And that's when Batman finally swung into action.
In a single night many of the more petty criminals were ruthlessly and efficiently taken down, though many of Batman's larger 'game' remained at large. Days turned into weeks as they continued to evade him, and Gotham's crime rate rose slowly but steadily. Rumours that some were hiding in the New Arkham Building grew, some said they had corrupted as high as the Mayor himself, and some said they simply remained silent, hidden in the dark and vast underworld of Gotham City, waiting for Batman to display weakness. Bruce Wayne knew his work was cut out for him so he too began to wait, striking only when he was sure he had found one. He knew these men and women couldn't stay away for too long, there had to be something big -several somethings in fact- lying in wait, and when those things finally came to fruition; he would act.
------------------------------------
Night #1
------------------------------------
High over Gotham City dark storm clouds began to roll into place, thunder cracking and booming in the background of the city, almost as a precursor to the events that would begin transpiring this night. It had been almost three weeks since "New Arkham" had been destroyed and so the criminals were on the loose but so far not much had happened. Oh a bank had been robbed and the crime rate had been rising ever-so-slightly but that was normal for this time of Year. It was almost like they had been quiet on purpose, all planning and beginning their various plots. True most of them had been in lock up for at least two years but never before had that stopped them from beginning their crime waves as soon as they were released. It was possible they were all waiting for another to make a move before beginning, but no matter what the reason this was sure not to last...
And in fact it would all begin tonight.
