[HARLEY QUINN]

"THIS IS JACK RYDER FOR GCN. REPORTS ARE COMING IN OF AN INCIDENT AT ARKHAM ISLAND WHERE
POLICE HAVE BEEN CALLED TO WHAT APPEARS TO BE A LARGE FIGHT AMONG ASYLUM SECURITY AND
THE PATIENTS. AS OF YET, THERE IS NO CONFIRMATION FROM COMMISSIONER JAMES GORDON THAT
AN ESCAPE ATTEMPT IS IN PROGRESS. HOWEVER, WITNESS REPORTS SUGGEST THAT THIS IS IN FACT
THE INCIDENT TAKING PLACE ON THE ISLAND EVEN AS WE SPEAK. WE CAN NOW GO LIVE TO ARKHAM
FOR COMPLETELY EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE OF THIS EVENT THANKS TO GCN'S OFFICIAL NEWS CHOPPER..."



GOTHAM IS IN TURMOIL YET AGAIN. A RECENT ESCAPE FROM THE NEW ARKHAM
ISLAND COMPLEX HAS UNLEASHED EVERY PATIENT OF THE MAXIMUM SECURITY
WARD BACK INTO THE CITY, AND NOBODY HAS ANY IDEA HOW TO TRACK THEM
DOWN. APPARENTLY MASTERMINDED BY THE JOKER, SECURITY FOOTAGE OF THE
BREAKOUT HINTS THAT HE MAY HAVE A NEW FEMALE ACCOMPLICE ON HIS SIDE
WHO ASSISTED IN THE BREAKOUT (MANY PEOPLE HAVE EVEN SPECULATED THAT
IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB). CHILDREN ACROSS THE CITY ARE TOLD THAT SCARECROW
WILL COME FOR THEM BY THEIR PARENTS IF THEY DON'T BEHAVE THEMSELVES, A
ONCE DESERTED PIECE OF WASTE GROUND ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY HAS
APPARENTLY FLOURISHED WITH PLANT-LIFE AND THRILL-SEEKING TEENAGERS
NO LONGER DARE TO SNEAK OUT TO THE ABANDONED END OF AMUSEMENT MILE
FOR CHEAP THRILLS CREEPING AROUND THE ABANDONED FUNHOUSES. THOUGH
HE'S STILL WANTED FOR THE CRIMES COMMITTED BY HARVEY DENT, THE CITY IS
CRYING OUT FOR BATMAN TO HELP THEM. YET WITH INCIDENTS LIKE THE JOKER
PARALYZING BARBARA GORDON AFTER DISCOVERING SHE WAS BATGIRL, AND
THE STILL RAW PAIN OF RACHEL DAWES' DEATH, BRUCE WAYNE DOESN'T FEEL IN
ANY WAY LIKE GOTHAM'S PROTECTOR ANY MORE, BELIEVING THAT BATMAN JUST
ENDANGERS THOSE HE CARES ABOUT. BUT CAN HE REALLY IGNORE THE CALL OF
THOSE PEOPLE HE SWORE TO PROTECT FROM THIS SWARM OF EVIL IN THE CITY?
