Entry #001-Batman's Disappearance, Day 007

It's been a week and Batman hasn't showed up. I try contacting Bruce, but no one seems to be answering. Where could he be? Word on the street is that Batman is dead. This can't be though. It wouldn't make any sense. Batman dead. But it has been so long since he responded. The signal stays in the dark sky, but Batman doesn't seem to be anywhere.

Last time we talked was when Batman got a lead on a planned escape of some henchmen from Arkham Asylum. He headed there and told me his final words, which were, "This may be bad." What could this mean? How can he be bad? Why would he say this and never respond after?

I sent the Black Canary to go look for the Dark Knight various times at all possible places. Arkham, Blackgate, Wayne Manor, Robinson Park, all the possible places but he isn't anywhere. Even out of Gotham people are looking for him. Nightwing is searching all through Blüdhaven for him, Azrael is checking Ossaville and even Superman is searching for him in Metropolis, but no one has seemed to find Batman. No one has seen him from the GCPD. Montoya hasn't found him, Foley and Roder have been patrolling with no luck, and Kitch hasn't seen him at all and as for Bullock.well he could care less.

Robin and Batgirl are still out though. Even without their leader, they seem to be doing well, but found nothing. No leads, no facts, just rumors of Bruce's death. And Helena is back on the streets. The Huntress, though not much of an ally, is searching for Batman without any luck.

Word on the street is that all sorts of criminals killed Bruce. From the Joker to Killer Croc, it has been rumored that they killed Bruce, but the question is if Bruce really is dead and which one of them did it? It could be anyone for all I know. It doesn't make any sense. Wherever Bruce is though, I hope he's doing fine.
