Chapter 1 - Into Arkham

Gotham City had been rather quiet on the crime front; Bruce Wayne had been enjoying this, although he was quite worried about the up rise of an evil front. However, this would be impossible in the current situation; Harley Quinn, The Joker, Poison Ivy and Two Face were all in Arkham. Nothing would be changing this any time soon. The smaller gang members had disbanded after the Joker had been reprimanded and sent to Arkham, yet again. There was nothing that could disturb the peace of the city, Gotham was finally safe.

Night was approaching, and as Bruce Wayne pulled on his caped crusader ensemble to do his night patrol, one last time before he hung up his cape for good, something caught his eye. The newspaper, he dismissed it and climbed into the bat-mobile, and was off. His first stop was always just on the border fence of Arkham; he liked to keep a tab on his insane bunch.

"Evening, I take it everything is in check?" He asked the guard who was on watch this particular night.

"In order and heavily guarded, Sir" replied the guard. Batman nodded in agreement and turned towards the bat-mobile, as he was just about to jump into it and be gone, he looked over and saw what seemed to be Poison Ivy... but it just couldn't be could it?

He turned around and walked over to the hedgerow that ran down the side of the asylum for the criminally insane, and as sure as it was Poison Ivy was stood there with a worried look on her face.
"Ivy... how did you get out" Batman asked her.

"You don't have time, you're late" She replied and blew some of her spore powder into his face causing him to have a short lived but instant infatuation with her, and as to plan, he followed her into Arkham. As they approached the door, she ran off. Batman was bewildered as he snapped out of the powder's spell, confused why he was on the other side of the fence. He didn't remember how he'd gotten there.

Batman walked over to the fence to find the guard who'd been stood there before, but he'd gone. Batman was worried that there was going to be trouble, he tried to contact someone with the bat-talkie, but there was nothing, just the silence. He checked the radar on the bat-GPS but it was blank. He decided to go in to investigate some more.
