[INDENT][INDENT] The Wayne name is one synonymous with wealth, power, and corruption. For two hundred years it stood as the power that truly ran Gotham City – mayors, police chiefs, governors, US senators – the Waynes either held those positions or outright owned the men that held them. But that had all changed when Bruce Wayne was born. It was an empire in decline, one his good-natured father Thomas wasn’t cut out for. A new breed of criminal on the streets smelled blood in the water when it came to Thomas Wayne.

When Bruce was thirteen an assassin’s bullet gunned down Thomas and Martha Wayne. A jammed gun saved him from a similar fate. That night he made an oath and a promise to his parents and to the dark forces that had for so long been behind the Waynes: vengeance would be his. Thanks to the timely intervention of family lawyer Alfred Pennyworth and Thomas' estranged brother Philip Bruce was taken from Gotham that night before he could join his parents in death.

Ten years later the vacancy of the Waynes had been filled by the Co-Op, a consortium of uneasy alliances among multiple criminal gangs. Carmine Falcone sat at the head of the table as criminal and political boss of the city.

And then the Bat came to town.

A masked lunatic calling himself the Bat waged a one-man war against the criminal forces of Gotham. It soon became clear that this vigilante wasn’t looking to eliminate crime in Gotham: he was looking to take over. Block by block and territory by territory the Bat began to eliminate forces loyal to the Co-Op and replace them with his own people. Falcone called for a sitdown as he began to lose more and more ground. When he arrived at the meeting he was met not with the Bat, but with Bruce Wayne. He revealed he was the power behind the Bat, and he was back to collect what was owed to his family.

Ten years later and the criminal underworld of Gotham sits at an uneasy truce. The Wayne Family chips away more and more with each passing year into the Co-Ops rackets. Fissures are have begun to form in the foundation of the Co-Op. And, like what was done with his father decades before, Bruce can feel the weaknesses.  With the Bat and a host of other colorful enforcers one their side, the Waynes are preparing for a final push to eradicate the Co-Op and reclaim Gotham City fully for the Waynes. Meanwhile the Co-Op has finally decided if the Wayne Family is going to use costumed freaks to do their heavy living, well they can fight fire with fire.
