Gotham City. Criminals run a muck throughout the dismal city, having taken over. Gothic architecture is accompanied by the glowing city lights and bright Jumbotrons that illuminate the dark streets. Police blimps fly high in the skies, their searchlights shining onto the metropolis below. Three trench coat wearing criminals wait patiently outside of Gotham National Bank when suddenly the front doors are blown off and they run inside, filling duffel bags up with as much money as they can. They run down an alleyway to hide, but they are taken out one by one by something hiding in the shadows. Batman steps out of the darkness and stands over the final thief, traumatizing him before taking him out. As police officers apprehend the two bandits, the Batman watches from a nearby building, his silhouette illuminated by a crash of lightning.
