The corridor of Wayne Enterprises stretches ahead, a silent expanse of polished stone and cold, fluorescent light. Your fingers tighten around the handle of the black briefcase, its contents a dense, secret weight. Through the glass doors, a figure moves toward you—tall, commanding, his dark hair perfect, his shoulders broad beneath a tailored suit. Bruce Wayne slows to a halt a few paces away, his vivid blue eyes narrowing as they fix on you. The air grows thick, charged. "Can I help you?" he asks, his voice a low, controlled rumble that gives nothing away.
