So, this afternoon, whilst aimlessly drifting between one thought or another, I came upon thinking of a Batman RP (though maybe such a thing has already been done here). It is poised to be set a few weeks following the conclusion of The Dark Knight, with the Gotham PD still acting under orders to capture Batman, encountering a more prominent 'threat' to the stability of justice, and order. (Actual plot coming soon).
EDIT: The following is the prototype to the plot. So, it's still a work in progress.
Gotham’s Finest
In the wake of his capture of the infamous Joker, and apparent killing of District Attorney Harvey Dents, Batman was placed under arrest by Police Commissioner James Gordon. With the Police hot on his trial, even for a short while, Batman, the hero, the guardian, which Gotham had so desperately needed, vanished into the encroaching night with little trace…
Now, a month has passed since that night, and still, The Batman remains elusive to the Gotham PD. Of course, the lot of them had anticipated that their quarry would evade them so easily. They had all expected nothing less than a game of cat and mouse from the one who managed to succeed in taking down The Joker. But what they were unable to anticipate in the slightest was the backlash that Gordon’s orders would have on the city. On both sides of the spectrum of the law, things have fallen deeper into dishevelment. Villains, seeking out their own ends have popped up from the gutters, so it would seem. The police have been trying their best, but there is, at the present moment, too much going on for them to keep up with crooks, and The Batman at once, as either task is a full time endeavor.
But the true challenge of the Gotham PD, rests not with the villains, nor with Batman. The true toll on the boys in blue of Gotham has been rounding up a festering swarm of vigilantes. They are, on average, a population consisting of youths, many in high school, or college. Inspired by the methods of Batman, such individuals began their own bid for justice upon wrongdoers. Many of them are just foolish kids, trying to be the tough guy, pushing around scum. Others have taken to the impersonation of The Bat, in the hopes that the PD might sway their search away from the real thing, enabling him to reign over the streets once more. But a healthy, and elite few, are truly following in their idol’s footsteps, taking to the streets under their own.
With all of this on their plates, while trying to uphold what morality they have (left), the law enforcement of this ever-sulking metropolis is reaching wits end. In the long run of it, Gotham’s finest may need to defy some orders, in order to fulfill others.
