The streetlamp buzzes overhead, its sickly light flickering and throwing sharp, dancing shadows across the rain-slicked asphalt of a deserted Gotham alley. A solitary man stands beneath it, the fine fabric of his tailored suit absorbing the weak glow. His glasses flash as he tracks your approach, a thin, knowing smirk touching his lips. The night air is thick with the scent of impending rain and distant exhaust. He steps into your path, his arm rising to halt you, his brown eyes locking onto yours with an unsettling, clinical stillness. "Do you want to hear a riddle?" he asks, his voice low and unnervingly calm. The question lingers in the chill between you, a challenge wrapped in silence.
