Marv Wolfman and George Pérez.BLACK MASK: Eat lead, coppers! HAHA!
He stands on a generator and fires rounds of bullets. You pull him down.
BATMAN: Stay in cover and conserve ammo! Bat-smoke!
You throw a gas pellet and advance, the smoke keeping you out of sight.
BLACK MASK: We’re calling our attacks now? Sweet! You think I should do it too? I could be like “Gun!”
Turner joins you in the smoke, knocking out several former allies.
BRONZE TIGER: <span class="mu-s">SUEY!</span> Some teammate... <span class="mu-s">SUEY!</span> You got there.
BATMAN: Black Mask is under control, all the covens are.
BRONZE TIGER: Cults, monsters, and aliens. It really is a New Earth.
BATMAN: Chase said the main tent is to our left.
BRONZE TIGER: Cover me!
He barrels through the agents like a whirling dervish.
Your suppressing fire keeps the shooters away and any who get in close range meet his claws. Chase yells from a hill.
CHASE: Something’s wrong! They’re fighting too hard to defend canned food!
Then the sounds hits. A screech like a bird with a freshly wrung neck. EMP resistant jetpacks! Seven armored soldiers rocket from tents firing on you from the skies.
BRONZE TIGER: Peacemakers! They’re not even allowed in The States!
You sprint from cover, running toward Apocalypse, their saddle has your last hope. The Peacemaker rounds riddle your armor, they kiss you with bruises that ache as you open the saddlebag.
BLACK MASK: Jeez Bats, this better be worth it.
You pull out a large cannon and fire.
BATMAN: It is.
The missile arcs through the sky goes straight for the Peacemakers, and misses. A bat-shaped smoke cloud fills the sky.
BLACK MASK: We’re screwed!
PEACEMAKER: By the powers granted by contract with The United States Government, the Pax Institute orders you to surrender!
Black Mask stands.
BLACK MASK: I give u-
You pull him down.
BATMAN:
Wait for it.
It starts slow, like the first drops of rain on a spring evening. Then it swells until the ground itself is shaking with living thunder.
Gotham Heights, Robinson Park, Bristol, West End, Otisburg, Tricorner, Old Gotham, and the Finacial District all unified in a hurricane of meat and gristle.
And Lassos.
ORCA: YAH!!
The Dolphin-woman throws her rope with superhuman strength, snarring a Peacemaker by the leg.
PEACEMAKER:
Stop! By the order of- AHHH!!
She swings him into the other Peacemakers, knocking them to the ground. They look up and see themselves surrounded by dozens of your allies.
BLACK MASK: You might wanna give up now. No shame is surrendering. Uh, right Bats?
CHASE: Let your trick-or-treaters tie them up. We need to see what the Peacemakers were guarding.
Your Bat-Gamma Survey Meter goes off. The radiation isn’t lethal, but it is intense.
BRONZE TIGER: My god!
