Well , now . The first thing you need to know is that you scored a really tough gig . It ' s hard to make charges stick in Gotham . Witnesses disappear or ' forget ' what they saw , evidence gets stolen , perps abscond . basically , unless you stay on top of every detail , your cases just fall apart . Expect to work a lot of late nights . It ' ll put a strain on your relationships . The upside of all this is that if you can make it Gotham , you can make it anywhere . Eh , Mr future Attorney General ? As for the rumours you ' ve heard yeah , Gotham criminals like to dress up and raise a ruckus . It sounds ridiculous , but then you figure out how many of them manage to cop an insanity plea and you sort of see the sense in it . Remember the name ' Arkham Asylum '. You ' re going to hear it a lot . They may as well install a revolving door on that place . The bat is a different story . He ' s a lunatic obviously , but at least he doesn ' t dress people up as predatory birds and launch them at city hall from a cannon . Basically , he patrols the city at night putting the frighteners on petty offenders . He ' s . well , not harmless , but he ' s a small problem in a city with too many big problems , if you see what I ' m saying . I ' ve heard that he has a relationship with the Gotham PDthat some of the evidence they ' ve used to put costume freaks away came from him . Of course , if that was true then that evidence would be inadmissible in court , so it ' s not true . Understand ? Stay away from the bat . Commissioner Gordon is the one you want to talk to for anything batrelated . He ' s happy to stick his neck out , so let him . It ' s your job to remind this feral city that it ' s still part of a civilised country and law applies here .
