NIGHT FALLS ....

Eyes black. Lifeless and dull. But ............

THEY HAVE MEANING

Above all .... Purpose.

SHADOWS CAST

Over Gotham spires and tower blocks, now

GOTHIC AND MALIGNANT ....

as wings beat. Sonar dreams. Enhanced.

SCANNING THE SCUM BELOW

The underworld. Insects feeding. Criminal pests.

HUNGER FOR A RESOLUTION

To tranquillise the pain, as he ...................

Drops

TO TARGET

Calculated

fall

and

balance.

PERFECT ALL THE TIME

Articulated limbs. Armoured bodywear.

BLACKENS THE CRIMEWAVES

Work is done for now.

Yet ....

THE WIND BLOWS DOWN AN ALLEYWAY

Deck of cards. Flutter. Dealt in chaos.

TOP TRUMPS

And poker. Aces high for the picture card ....

THE JOKER ....

While above. Climbing smoothly -

THE SHADOW

and the symbol of

THE BAT.
