Before you read:
This is book one on a Fan fiction serie called : Reissued. To fully understand my point and the story so far, please read my previous story: "Batman: Trials of the Saint Dumas. " That story is rated M so... be warned...
"Gotham city... a modern city in the industrial aspect, evolved economically but choosing to sport the gothic and magnificent architecture of the 700s and 800s. The city appears as a perfect place to live...but that is far from the truth. The city is filled with Corrupt Politicians , talking bullshit on live television, protecting the mob. There are hundreds of snitches inside the GCPD, the police force of the city. The 1% pure is now separated into small districts far from the central point of the city and/or sent to Blüdhaven . The streets are filled with scum of the earth, Rats, Muggers, Drug dealers, Rapists, Prostitutes, Cold Blooded killers... and Criminally insane individuals.. such as the Joker , Fire-Fly, Two-Face etc. But where does that put me... the Batman of Gotham. The illegal vigilante, trying to stop the crime of the city... but ironically seems to be causing more individuals to join the GC underground. In the past months , I realized how broken I had gotten.. the death of my "father figure" and all the death I was too clumsy to stop... it made me cross a line... that I shouldn't have... My adopted son, Dick Grayson, was walking the line all along... he was cut up in this shit. He was an innocent soul in the middle of this war.. and he left me when he needed to... before I could break all I had built so far..." said Bruce Wayne , in front of a microphone. It has been months since he almost snapped and broke his rule. Since then , he keeps a log of his feelings and the events till then. He also has planned a new citywide innovation of technology and Architecture. That is what he is introducing to the public this evening at the Gala. Bruce and Lucius Fox stand up and start the presentation. This of cours catches the interest of the press and political figures such as the new elected Mayor, Lincoln March and his assistant , just know as A.Fleck. The new plan that Bruce has for Gotham was treated with good results and appreciation by the guests and the press.
Days later, a bank is robbed and there are bearly no clues. A Detective called Christian West enters the crime scene and starts to examine. He realizes that whoever did this, simply tried to rob one of the biggest banks in the city, succeed but left the money untouched. All the people were used as hostages but then killed by being hanged from the ceiling. West proceeds to examine the camera tapes, but only finds them to be replaced. He tries to find the identity of the killer by tracing a finger print but, it is not present. All he finds is a small box with words carved inside it. Detective West leaves the scene with the box and heads to his car. At the car, he takes off his fake beard, to reveal, Bruce Wayne. Wayne reads at the riddle carefully. "What is the thing that is disturbed by a shot, What has began when 'the real' has ended, and what is a FOX without a tail?"
Repeats Bruce.
