all hell just broke loose

[/center]Two years have come and gone since The Joker's reign of terror and chaos over Gotham. He was deemed responsible for the city's downfall, and held accountable, locked away from the mayhem he helped create, though it was too late to erase the damage done. The Joker's introduction to sheer chaos encouraged others with devious plans to crawl out from the woodwork.
Over the course of some seven hundred days, the city remained at war. Criminals tore through the streets, leaving their individual calling cards at the scenes of their crimes. And, as Gotham would have it, the vigilante who was rejected by a doubting public was forgiven, accepted and welcomed back with open arms in hopes that he could save them.
Captivity was imminent. Arkham cells were filled. However, the secure feeling that Gotham's citizens cherished was ripped from them after an incident that caused a mass failure of power all over the city. Within moments the inside of Arkham Asylum, as it's been stated, became nothing short of that same wave of chaos that hit two years prior.
Two days after that the government ordered citizens to leave immediately. The military stepped in and set up posts, allowing passage to whomever was without a criminal record. A lot of people escaped... but... a lot of people didn't. At noon on the second to the last day of evacuation, those bridges leading out of the city started exploding. Those of us still standing in Gotham when it happened became trapped inside the walls of a city that never sleeps. And we thought it was bad before.
Those responsible for the disaster? They are still on the streets of Gotham, pulling the strings. Oh sure, you hear about them in the news every now and then but they're never captured. No one was officially blamed for what happened because it seems as if everyone played a part... they just can't be sure who 'everyone' is. Though it wouldn't matter. You could lock a handful of them away and the same scenarios will still play out... just in different ways. Yes, things are in a constant state of bedlam... we've grown used to hearing about murder and mayhem on a daily basis.
It is Gotham City after all.
