Batman: Gotham Knights

You stay in your hiding place and watch them argue.

"You idiot!" Dent yells, "You were told that if Batman showed up, NOT to steal the diamond tonight!"

"But when you came and picked me up," Croc shot back, "YOU were da one who drove me down to da museum!"

"I thought you needed to go to the sewers to grab something! Now we're here, bungling some routine robbery for the Head, and now we're surrounded by cops! This is all your fault!"

"At least I got da diamond to da boss!"

"You're just too damned stupid for a job like this. I don't know why he sprung you from the joint."

"You want me t' show you why!?"

Two-Face sneered and flipped his coin. It landed on the scratched heads side. He smiled and pulled out his pistol.

"Try me."

Croc roared and lunged at Two-Face, taking eight bullets directly to the chest. Dent, however, didn't take out the monster and was thrown into a brick wall, knocking him unconscious.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Croc roared.

"Not on my watch." you quip, coming from your hiding space. With Dent taken care of, you can now focus on beating Killer Croc. He smiles and jumps towards you but you respond with a well-placed kick to his chin. He swipes at you but you flip backwards and toss a flash grenade at Croc, blinding him. This allows you to easily take out the behemoth.

Soon, the GCPD is inside the Treasury, locking up both Croc and Two-Face. You, however, require a few words with the newly awakened Harvey Dent. As the police struggle to handcuff Killer Croc, you pull Dent aside.

"Who are you working for?" you ask.

"I might tell you." Two-Face sneers, "Or I might not. Depends upon the toss of a coin. Of course, I'm cuffed right now, so I can't reach-"

"Nice try, Harvey." you growl, "I'll find out who's behind all this, then. And for whatever the purpose is. And then you'll be sorry you didn't let me in on it... because you'll be an accessory."

With that, the doors to the truck are locked and the two criminals are taken to Arkham Asylum.

The morning sun rises quickly and you slip into bed without eating your dinner. When you awaken, it is 5:30 P.M. Night has not yet fallen, but you decide that the Batman doesn't have time to wait for nightfall tonight. You quickly eat last night's dinner and check the news reports.

It seems as though the Scarecrow is on the loose again. Jonathon Crane has been sprung from Arkham Asylum. Three breakouts in two days, you think, curiouser and curiouser.

Another report comes in of a riddle arriving at the police HQ. Obviously the hallmark of the Riddler. You may want to check that out.
