Act 1: Outbreak
A mysterious player calls the heads of all the major gangs of Gotham together. The purpose of the meeting is unsure. But in the end, several leaders and their hired muscle are dead. Now Gotham is in chaos as the surviving gang members seek vengeance for their fallen leaders. With the emergency services, fire fighters, and police of Gotham City taxed beyond their means, it's up to Batman and his allies to clean up this mess and restore order. It's the Batman's hope that he can end the hostilities by apprehending the mystery man who light the flame to this holocaust. In the ultimate twist of fate and irony, the principle instigator in this gang war may very well be the Dark Knight himself!
