Gotham's Knight

by carl-barton

As the sun sets and a darkness falls over the city, there is one who rises. Although his body has been broken and his mind has begun to grow frail, he will continue to fight until he meets his mortal end. He's faced jokes, riddles, luck, birds, ice, vines, and even his own mind. A child once tortured by the winged creatures of the night, consumed by the guilt of his parents' demise. Now as an adult he uses his fear to torment his enemies and the guilt that once consumed him is now the only motivation he needs. Though he cannot live forever, the symbol of hope he has created will last on for eternity. And the face beneath the mask may change, but that light in the sky calls only one... He is the Batman.
