Amidst the chaos, a silent guardian stands at the center—a watchful protector who dares to confront the darkness threatening his city. Gotham’s Dark Knight: The Batman.
The Joker raises his arms triumphantly, a move that he would soon regret, as dozens of extra playing cards tumble out of his sleeves, falling like confetti.
The figure turns to face The Batman and begins to rush at the stairs with incredible speed. Bruce has seen faster. Leaping off the edge, he glides forward towards the Batmobile, spinning mid-air; he uses his grapple to change his direction. With intense momentum, The Batman collides feet first into the trespasser. The Batman towers over him.
The wise and devoted butler to Bruce Wayne, serving as a father figure and reliable ally in his crusade against crime.

The Batman may stand as a beacon of justice, yet Bruce Wayne is a human being with flesh and blood. Flesh and blood that needs to be taken care of. Now eat, Master Bruce…
