for Detective Charles Dean in Breaking Bat: Meth of Gotham
Suggested by matthewfenner
In the crime-ridden heart of Gotham City, a new poison begins to spread through its streets — pure, untraceable crystal meth unlike anything the city’s underworld has ever seen. When Walter White and his partner Jesse Pinkman arrive under the invitation of Oswald Cobblepot, better known as the Penguin, the criminal ecosystem begins to shift. Operating out of a repurposed chemical plant in the Narrows, Walter applies his genius to craft the most addictive substance Gotham has ever known, while Penguin prepares to monopolize addiction itself. But Gotham’s silent guardian, Batman, quickly uncovers whispers of a new operation poisoning his city, one that threatens to dismantle what fragile order remains. As Batman delves deeper, he faces an adversary unlike the flamboyant psychopaths he’s used to — Walter White is a man of intellect and cold, deliberate evil. Using chemistry, deception, and manipulation as his weapons, Walter views Gotham not as a cesspool to clean up, but as a goldmine of desperate souls. The ensuing war between justice and obsession turns the city into a battleground of morality, where science clashes with vigilantism. As Jesse begins to question the path they’ve taken, and Penguin’s empire spirals into chaos, Batman must confront a new kind of criminal mind — one that believes he’s not a villain at all, but the only man smart enough to survive Gotham’s madness.
