What's Going On

At any given time, there will be several threads going on in the city of Gotham. This can make it a bit hard to keep track of all of our fair citizens. Below, you will find a synopsis of what is going on in the city currently.

 

Thread 1: Carpe Riddler

Since his escape from Arkham, Riddler has been busily preparing for the millennium. A number of perculiar thefts have been made, and the Emerald ENigma has produced a number of scandalous pirate TV shows. One of these features the former mafia whore Selina Kyle in flagrante delicto with the City Mayor, and her incensed fiance, Peter Parker, goes in search of Riddler - and revenge. Tracking him down to an abandoned theatre, Spidey trips a booby-trap, and the whole building comes crashing down around him. Meanwhile, having escaped from the mad doctor who stole her unborn twins, Selina teams up with Detective Fox to find Parker. They get to the theatre but find nothing. Either Parker got out in time, or someone-or something- has stolen his body. In the mood for revenge, Selina and Fox decrypt Parker's notebook and set off on the Riddler's scent.

Thread 2: The Gotham Ripper

Mordecai Block is a mafia killer by trade, but when his latest victim turns out to be a physicist who exposes the assassin to strange radiation he develops the power to fade from view at will. He also gets a new and even more twisted outlook on life, and starts to enjoy his job a little TOO much. Returning to Gotham, he picks the wrong set of kids to tackle and incurs the wrath of the New Justice League. Nightwing, Robin, Black Canary, Tommy Monaghan, Arsenal. But how to find and trap the Invisible Man? Maybe they can use the help of Barbara Gordon, the FBI agent assigned to the murders. But their Liason must tread carefully - Gordon plays things by the book, and she doesn't like vigilantism. Meanwhile Mordecai ups the ante and starts killing people on live TV.

Thread 3: Night of the Joker II

Following September's massacre, the Joker is back - and this time he's planning things bigger, better, bloodier. What could be better than ten tonnes of Smilex over Gotham Plaza to make the millennium go with a bang. Not that anyone's likely to see it of course - with all the pirate transmissions bouncing around no-one'll be able to get the normal channels... With the help of the intrepid Avengers duo, can Batman work out what his arch-enemy is up to in time to save the crowds? And if he does turn up, can he be sure that the police will help him - or shoot him?

Thread 4: Retribution

Antonio may be the head of Gotham's mafia, but he's still in trouble. Project Golden River will make him unstoppable when it's complete, but right now it threatens to bankrupt him. He knows of the advent of his sister and her deadly japanese lover, and prays that the Godfather will stay his hand for just a few more days. For then many tonnes of kNarK will enter Gotham's water supply, together with Serum A-240. And the number of addicts his factory supplies will multiply ten thousandfold. Unbeknownest to him, la familia are the least of Antonio's problems at the moment. For a nanite-powered ninjitsu master battles ever closer, and the person Antonio has bound in front of him is not Spiderman and will not react quite the same way to the massive overdose of kNarK the don plans to give him....

Thread 5: The Night Has Two Faces

Two-Face has made a deal with the devil for the means to get revenge on the system that spawned him. At midnight on the millenium, a virus will be released into the computer systems of the world that will completely undo all of the careful preparations, plunging the world into chaos! But has Two-Face made a deal with someone even worse than he is?

Thread 6: Death and Rebirth

Rumours of war ripple through the streets in the aftermath of the Night of the Joker. The Insane Clown Posse have gone from being the terror of Gotham to being it's favourite scapegoat. La Cosa Nostra wants them wiped out, the police want the tried, and the other underworld elements want them out of the way to turn down the heat. But they have a powerful benefactor- will it be enough to remake themselves?

Thread 7: Spiral Into Madness

A copycat of the Gotham Ripper is loose, and the GCPD has only a limited time to stop him before the news becomes public. But is he a copycat, or something else entirely?
