- Batman has posed:
This late at night in Gotham City, it's the slim hour between the very early morning and just past midnight, the time when all of the tourists in the city or socialites have retired from whatever event has drawn their attention. It's the time when restaurants and some of the bars start to close down, when the foot traffic on the streets of the great urban sprawl begins to thin out. It's almost as if the place was taking one long deep breath as it made ready for the next day, life coming to a faint halt until the sun rises once again.
But for those who are awake at this time of night, they know just how deceptive that impression can be. It's during this time when the second story men will start working, or planned burglaries are made. When the professionals start to make their heists... and when the Batman seeks his prey.
Tonight he's settled on the edge of the rooftop, overlooking an old textile mill that once housed the dreams of some of Gotham's earlier entrepreneurs. It'd been converted some years ago to apartment housing, but then twenty years ago it was renovated with artistic creation in mind. The walls were knocked down inside, creating sweeping studios and within galleries had been created to house some of the better works of art that the United States had seen.
And so the Batman is there, watching that building from his place upon the high rise, kneeling in the shadows with his attention held in part by the mill, and in part by the radio traffic that he listens to quietly, subdued, in his ear.
