Before we begin, this is my first time doing a crossover of a Arkham Game and Spider-Man. And this Prologue is going to show the different Perspectives of Batman and Spider-Man. Just for a little bit before it later on shows them both in the Blackgate Prison in the next chapter. So comment down below if you have ideas for this story to make it bit bigger or longer. Or to let me know I need to fix or edit something on this chapter. And if anyone, again, wants to be a helper for this story, you can PM me any time okay? Thank you all again for reading my stories.

Now onto the chapter.


Prologue


Somewhere in Gotham...

Somewhere in the dark parts of the city of Gotham, there is a man in the shadows of a very dark room with very little lighting. And this man is just looking through a window to see Gotham City before him. And he is not alone as there is someone with him.

"And you are sure their is reports of this... Spider-Man in Gotham City?" Asked a man in the shadows of the room. With him only staring out at a glass window looking over the City of Gotham. He also lets out a strange chuckle for some reason before recollecting himself and acting serious again.

"Yes sir. One of our men has spotted a man in a red and blue spandex suit was taking down a couple of thugs in the city sir. Just in the last few hours. And no sign of the so called Batman sir. DO you even think this.. .Batman exists?" asked a man in the shadows as well.

"I know so... even if those two didn't meet, they will tonight." Said the man with a slight chuckle before recollecting himself. "Tonight... will be the end of Batman and this so called Spider-Man." said the man as the light slightly reveals this man to reveal having a black skull mask.

"What do we do now sir?" Asked the man.

"Right now... we make our move at Blackgate. It is time to make this Christmas Eve go out with a bang!" Said the man with another slight chuckle before stopping. "Have the men ready on stand bye. And have those two ready as well. It is time to see if they are worth for the bounty tonight."

"Yes sir." Said the man as he left the room to do what he is ordered to do.

"Hehehe... I hope you are ready Bats and Spidey... because tonight... will be your last." Said the man with the black mask as he lets out a evil giggle before coughing to stop himself from it getting out of hand. He needed to keep his act up just a bit longer until it is time to reveal his face.


Meanwhile...

Somewhere in the world, there is a large dark cave. In a dark cave, a large group of bats hanging upside down on the ceiling. One bat crawls over to a noise it hears by the entrance. The bat sees a high tech elevator coming down from above. When the elevator reached the designated floor, it opens and a man enters the cave, alerting the bats and making them fly around the cave in alarm. This man has short black hair and blue eyes. He has a stubbled beard. His body is heavily muscled and he wears a tight-fitting dark gray bodysuit. This is Bruce Wayne.

Following the batch of scurrying bats, Wayne walks into the main room of the cave, the trail ending off with the bats diving down into the darkened he begins to walk on a couple of stairs that leads to platforms designed and attached to the walls of the cave. His personal hideout for his crime fighting operations. The Batcave. And has some monitors one one of the platforms. His Batcomputer. As he walks towards it, he begins to hear the podcasts being monitor by the Batcomputer systems.

Police and emergency services are urging Gotham residents to stay off the roads in in their homes tonight in light of the severe winter storm warning." Came a voice from the radio.

On a monitor nearby, a news reporter named Vickie Vale was interviewing Bruce Wayne." No man's an island, Bruce. You've been back for almost two years now, you can't expect me to believe that Gotham's most eligible bachelor is spending another Christmas alone." She said with disbelief in her voice.

The news show Bruce looking at his watch before leaving. "You just ran out of time." Bruce said ending the interview.

In the background, there it shows a man with brown hair and hazel eyes. And he wears a blue snow coat and pants. And it seems to have been taken photos of Bruce Wayne. "Oh man. So much for that." Said the man that is Peter Parker. Bruce then switched the channel to a speech being made by person that works within the police force called GCPD called by. Commissioner Loeb.

"...knowing that tonight we put to rest one of Gotham's most heinous and relentless killers-Julian Gregory Day" Loeb said.

"Commissioner Loeb, any comment on the rumor that it wasn't actually the cops that captured Mr. Day?" A reporter asked.

"There is no such thing as a 'bat man'" Captain Gordon said.

"Captain Gordon! Commissioner Loeb!" The Reporters wanting to ask more on the subject.

"No further questions. No further questions." Said Loeb trying to calm the crowd.

A man walks up to the Batcomputer with a platter in his right hand. He has on a grey suit over his white button down shirt and has a black bowtie tied around his neck. He has a grey pants and boots and has a over stance of a butler. He has short grey hair and has a short mustache. Alfred Pennyworth. He comes close to the Batcomputer and he sets a platter down on a area next to a picture frame. And the picture frame has a picture of the Wayne's reflecting off of it.

"Delta 6-4, en route." says a voice over the radio.

"Dispatch, 5-9, confirm code 10- this a break out?" says another voice.

"Suspect identified as "Black Mask". Repeat: code 10 suspect is Black Mask. Commissioner Loeb is being held captive, repeat, Commissioner Loeb is 701." Came the same female voice as before. Alfred notice to see that as this is happening, Black Mask's profile came up on the Batcomputer screens.

Alfred sees his master Bruce on a higher platform next to a button. Bruce watch as the chamber containing his suit rose and opened up. And from there, he puts on his costume for the night and makes sure he has everything he needed for this task. The suits overall appearance consisted of a pair of military like pants with kevlar plating in the thigh area. The body consisted of a heavy amount of kevlar padding centered around the chest area. Giving it a overall armor suit. HE has a military like boots. And has a black cowl that has a short ear like spikes on the top of his head and has holes that reveled his eyes and mouth area. ANd gives the man a angry look on his face. And has a black/grey belt that can store his weapons and gadgets. And has a armored gauntlets that has tree metal like fin spikes plus black gloves. And finally, he has a black cape around his neck that reaches the back of his legs. Also, there is a black symbol of a bat on the armor chest area. This is the suit that Bruce uses to become Batman.

Batman walks onto docking station that holes a vehicle form him. It has the designs of a air craft but big and black and has a one person seat in it And has some deigns similar to a bat. The Batwing. Batman presses onto his gauntlet, which acted like a mini computer to start up the Batwing. The Batwing engines and begins to warm up as the jets underneath it begin to make it hover and a pilot seat lovers from the cockpit to let Batman onto it.

Alfred walks after Batman to try to talk to him. "You do realize, it is Christmas Eve, sir?" Alfred said over the jet engines. Batman ignores Alfred and got into a scooter like chair, and let's it arise into the Batwing with him, reading for launch. The Batwing moves around and zooms out of the Batcave through a waterfall. And controls the batwing on the way to Blackgate.

Little does this Batman know, there is another hero in Gotham. One that will hear about what is going on in Blackgate and will come to stop Black Mask as well.


Meanwhile...


Somewhere the empty streets of Gotham, there is a thug who has bags of money with him. And also before him is a single police officer next to his police car. "So just like before, I give you some of this money, and you keep your police buddies off my back and we can all be stinking rich yes?" Asked the thug as he hands ones of the bags of cash to the GCPD Police officer who just takes it with a smirk.

"Yes. I still promise on our little deal And because it is almost Christmas... I will give you a weapon from the police department to give yourself a bti more defense." Said the GCPD Officer as he placed the bag into his car.

"Aw... here I thought I can give you two a present. A one way ticket to prison." Said Male voice that echoes in the area. THis causes both the police officer and the thug to be spooked and turns around to see where the voice is coming from. But they don't see anyone that could be the owner of the voice they heard. Before one of them could react, something hits the corrupted GCPD officer in the head to knock him out onto the side of his car and falls to the floor.

"Who.. .who's there?" Asked the thug as he looks all around but doesn't see who is responsible for this.

"Oh just a passing hero." Said the male voice before the sounds of thwip is heard and the thug looks down to see a web attached to his shoes.

"AHHH!" Said a criminal before he is dragged into street pole hard and is hanged upside down on a web attached to his feet. Followed by the corrupted police officer that he was making a bribe with, who is also knocked out.

Then there was a sound of someone landing onto the street lamp. The thug looks up to see who or what it is. This reveals in the moon light that the being is a person in a person wears a spandex red suit with blue color as well. And has a black web design pattern on the suit arms and legs. And also around his mask with large white teardrop eye lens. And on his chest is a black spider symbol with a large red spider symbol on his back. This is Spider-Man AKA Peter Parker.

"Man, I knew cops could be corrupt in this city, but not THIS corrupt. Goes to show that this city is not my home and it continues to surprise me.' Spider-Man thought as he looked at the two hanged people he's got captured. "Now I hope you learn from this and never try to bribe another cop or steal." Said Peter as he webs up the thug mouth and ears so he can speak or hear anything for a while. And right a nice little sticky note for the police to read once they find them.

Spider-Man lands on the snowy ground. He remembers of the main reason he came here in Gotham. To get some pictures for the Daily Bugle about Bruce Wayne and also about the villain that has been captured by the police officer that has been taken to Blackgate prison. Heck, even JJJ even made a impossible challenge for Peter. TO see if the rumors of the so called Batman are real or not. Honestly, when Peter heard this from his boss a couple days ago, he laughed on the inside. That this is a first that broom lip wants a picture of a suppose legend. But, if he wants to get payed and keep his job, he had to do it. So Peter, had to travel to Gotham a couple days ago.

"Man... and here I wanted to spend the day of Christmas Eve with Aunt May. Thanks a lot Triple J. You so own me on this. If the Batman doesn't or just a made up story... I hope you give me a raise. Not that has ever happened before. " Said Spider-Man as he just leans onto the side of the police car.

"And man... I still can't believe the police in this city are this corrupted to the core. At least the ones back home in NYC are a bit more firendly and doesn't take bribes from criminals. Makes me wish the police from my home can teach the ones hear a thing or two abotu the law." Said Spider-Man as he talks to himself out loud.

"All units, all units! Code ten at Blackgate Prison! Communication is down, possible 2-11." Spider-Man hears the police radio going off in the car he is leaning up against. Something must be going on. So he went up to the car, and grabbed the radio through the open windshield to listen to the police radio chatter.

"Delta 6-4, en route." says a police officer voice.

"Dispatch, 5-9, confirm code 10- this a break out?" says another voice.

"Suspect identified as "Black Mask", repeat: code 10 suspect is Black Mask. Commissioner Loeb is being held captive, repeat, Commissioner Loeb is 701." Said the same police officer voice from before.

"Blackgate huh?" asked Spider-Man as he puts the radio away and webs swings to the tallest building in the area. He over looks the city to see a very large prison on a small island in the Gotham Bay. "So something must be going on in that prison. Well... even if I am not a part of this city, at the very least, I can do what I always do. Helping others and saving lives. " Said Spider-Man as he jumps off the building and begins to web swing all the way to the Blackgate prison to help out in away he can and makes sure the prisoners don't escape.
