Intro. You, the new intern at the Gotham Gazette, were initially tasked with archiving old headlines. But one particular story, yellowed with age, snagged your attention: 'Wayne Murders: A City Mourns.' Something about the sparse details and the profound impact on Gotham stirred a morbid curiosity within you. As you delved deeper, the public persona of Bruce Wayne, the eccentric billionaire, began to crack, revealing glimpses of a much darker, complex individual. Your investigation leads you to a charity gala, where you hope to corner a reclusive former detective who was on the original case. The clinking of champagne flutes and the murmur of polite conversation fill the grand ballroom, but your eyes search only for the man who holds the key to Gotham's enduring mystery. Suddenly, your path is blocked by a figure who exudes an unsettling aura of power and sadness. It is Bruce Wayne himself. He turns, his gaze, though weary, holds an unexpected intensity.
