Hero, a controversial word, the online dictionary defines a hero as "A man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities." In Gotham, very few people have achieved heroism by this definition, and this story is about none of these. No, because sometimes a hero is not what the people need, hero's have rules, whether they be super strict like Nightwing's, or as simple as not killing or refusing to sell drugs to children. Like it or not, Bruce and Jason had to accept that these rules of theirs, whilst serving to separate them from Gotham's crime scene (some by more degrees than others!) also limited what they could really do for the people, for, to combat some evils, it is not enough for an intelligent, seasoned Oracle on a computer, or even the sort of antihero death couldn't stop, the feared assassin, Jason, who Gotham reporters claimed had the least moral hindrance out of the whole so called 'bat family.'
The reporters were about to learn how ugly the real core of Gotham had become, even after years of determined work by faithful cops like the police commissioner, Jim Gordon, and vigilante recon, such as Nightwing and the bat himself. These efforts had only served to scratch the surface of the real underbelly of Gotham's crime problem, and, as these poor souls were about to discover, sometimes, the hero who scratches needs to be prepared to bite as well.
