Mike Engel was doing the mayoral election coverage on GCN along with Gotham's Cat Grant, Cait Thompson. The results were intense while districts were flashing from red to blue and back.
"In order for either candidate to win the election, they need to win the three key districts, Downtown, Suburbs, and the Gotham University District." Mike began.
"With that being said, the rest of the city is useless." Cait said in a sultry, sarcastic tone.
"Right you are, Cait." Mike agreed. "It seems that Bruce Wayne has won Chinatown and the Barrio, while Oswald Cobblepot won the High End Retail district and the Trailer Park District. The Suburbs and Arena polls are too close to call."
"What's this?" Cait asked. "Officials are reporting that Oswald Cobblepot has won the Arena district and the Suburbs District, one key district won by Cobblepot!"
"Officials are now reporting that Bruce Wayne won the Airport District and the Industrial District." Mike announced. "The Downtown and Apartments District polls are too close to call."
"What the hell is this?" Cait asked. "We got word that Oswald Cobblepot won both Downtown and Apartments, and it seems like Cobblepot is redrawing the map!"
"That is another key district picked up by Cobblepot, and all Cobblepot needs is the University and he will win the election." Mike announced.
"Oh what is this?" Cait said in a singsong tone. "Cobblepot has picked up the Gotham University District, making him the winner of this election. We will be live from the Gotham City Hall where Oswald will make his victory speech."
The news cameras were inside the Gotham Hall, where Oswald was accepting his victory in the election.
"Thank you for supporting me." Cobblepot announced. "Being a member of the Gotham Mob has taught me many things, leadership, pride, honor, and the desire to unite the city after the hurricanes of chaos. I will be a great uniter and will work with Jim Gordon and the Gotham Police Department to maintain law and order in Gotham."
Oswald met with the Gotham City Council to discuss plans of preventing any major threat like the League of Shadows from striking again. His minions, who had black suits and white shirts with penguin masks surrounded him while he delivered the message.
"I am proposing a bill called the Cobblepot Act, which will make it illegal for anyone to be a member of the League of Shadows or even be associated with them." Cobblepot began.
"I like the sound of this!" Jonathan Crane replied.
"This will also have a curfew for all Santa Priscans to be in their homes by nightfall, as soon as the streetlights come on."
"Hold on!" Gordon interrupted. "You cannot punish an entire group of people for the actions of a few!"
"That kind of cowardice will further let criminals roam free in Gotham." Oswald said. "I forgot to mention something." Oswald paused. "You can call me Penguin, because I am cold blooded."
"All in favor raise your hands!" Oswald said. Everyone raised their hands but Selina, Gordon and Bruce, meaning the Cobblepot Act became law.
"Gordon, you're fired!" Penguin snapped. "I am replacing you with my subordinate, Tracey Buxton." Tracey, who had short blonde hair, a white skirt suit, and white high heels, replaced Gordon as police chief. The police escorted Gordon out, while Tracey took his place.
The Catmobile was zooming through the streets of Gotham, swerving past cars and buses. There was a call on the police radio, signaling a crime.
"Thousands of League of Shadows members have taken to the streets at Wayne International Airport, consider them armed and extremely dangerous." Tracey announced over the speaker.
"We should get going!" Batman said.
"Right!" Catwoman replied.
Catwoman and Batman arrived at the airport, but the power was out, and there were not criminals, but innocent Santa Priscans protesting to demand their rights back.
"Attention all Santa Priscans!" Tracey announced, speaking into a megaphone. "Return to your homes immediately or suffer the consequences!"
"It's Batman, and Catwoman!" a Santa Priscan migrant said. "You are our Dark Knight also!" Penguin showed up in a cop car to disperse the protest.
"By golly!" Penguin said. "Batman and Catwoman are here to defend these League of Shadows members!"
"They aren't criminals, they are just innocent migrants and refugees fighting for their rights!" Batman told Penguin.
"LIES!" Penguin snapped. "They are clearly League of Shadows and they are the enemy!" Penguin's minions approached them with taser rifles. "Round up all these League of Shadows thugs!" The Penguin masks shot taser blasts at the migrants, shocking them, as they were loaded in the police trucks. Batman pulled out his Batarangs, and Catwoman pulled out her chain scythe.
"If you don't want to be arrested, put those down." Penguin suggested. Batman and Catwoman put away their weapons, but were arrested anyways, being thrown in a police truck bound not to a police station, but to Penguin's secret lair.
"I thought if we put the weapon's down, we would not be arrested!" Batman argued.
"It's called bait and switch." Penguin explained. "I do whatever I can to get what I want." Penguin laughed a creepy evil laugh.
