for James Gordon in Batman: The 5th Reich
Suggested by otsutsuki
A Neo-Nazi terrorist group called “The 5th Reich” start a series of attacks around Gotham, trying to put the fear of god in it’s citizens in order to bring the next holocaust. They use suicide bombers, planted explosives, hijacked train crashes, and even blowing up City Hall. Despite his best foresight, Batman and the Bat-family are unable to predict The 5th Reich’s next attack, as they try to make their attacks as random as possible. After locating one of the group’s hideouts, Batman is ambushed and transported to Gotham Times Square, where The 5th Reich will execute him in order to show their power of Gotham. Right when Batman is about to be executed, Arkham Knight and The Joker ambush the rally and save Batman from his execution, taking him back to their hideout in the catacombs of Arkham Asylum. In their hideout are all of the figures in Gotham who haven’t joined The 5th Reich, including Commissioner Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Renee Montoya, Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, Riddler, Poison Ivy, and Two Face. It’s revealed that Scarecrow has joined The 5th Reich, not because he agrees with Nazism, but because he just wants to spread terror in a different way for once.
