It felt as if time had frozen. Two of the city's foremost denizens had found themselves in the crosshairs of the GCPD. Both of them contributors to the ongoing rebirth of Gotham. One of them was respected by his peers but the other loved by all. However, as most suspected, it was only a matter of time before the Batman targeted the face of city's elite as Bruce Wayne symbolized the spotted past of Gotham. With a swift slight of the hand, the caped crusader could have changed the landscape of city's social climate. 

But an unexpected shot from a rooftop marksman was simply swifter. That one moment that broke the silence also gave Bruce a chance to escape as Batman's grip had loosened. Slipping underneath the hold, Bruce's cold demeanor inexplicably turned to fright as he gained distance from the Dark Knight. Almost as if a switch had turned on, the billionaire ran out screaming as the police started open firing on the partycrasher. Others started to follow their party host's lead and ran out the emergency exits, causing more chaos. 

[color=f5f5dc]"Enough!"[/color] yelled Commissioner Jim Gordon after a few seconds of concentrated fire. Through the smoke and darkness, only one thing was still clear. Batman was still standing. The silhouette of his shattered shoulder slowly solidified as if it had never been fired upon. Before the policemen could process what they had just witnessed, a primal roar came from the maw of the Batman. Fear had gripped the hearts of the lot, and their bullets fired back at them including one whizzing towards the rooftop where Rose had fired from. Shrapnel soon left men and women dead or badly injured. 

Then the Batman rushed the commissioner with his Batarang in hand, prompting Jim to fire but with no avail.
