January 13th 1999 the City of Gotham saw something of panic, Narrows wide, when a strange gas was unleashed into the darker part of the City, causing dementia, and fear to be wide spread, the Crime rate in this one night shot sky high, they say the morgue is still identifying bodies, and that any one from that area missing someone should contact the Gotham Police Department.

Lt James Gordon, released a statement saying that he was certain that the nightmare was over, but the quakes of it would still be felt for some time. In the midst of all of this insanity, Inmates at Arkham were released out into the City, thus he must impose a 9pm curfew. For your protection of course.

They say that the City itself is slow in repairing but things are trying to go back to a semi normal state of being. Of course even this is a lull before the darkness. As it seems a new threat has arrived on the horizon. In the form of strangly dressed clowns, robbing various banks, and causing petty crimes.

This can only be a prelude to a bigger and much worse threat.
