Description
War Games - Act 1, Rules of Engagement
The gang war in Gotham has proven to be big business for the Penguin. He's stolen a shipload of weapons, and he's selling them along with the services of multiple super-powered individuals. The various gangs are consolidating, whether by establishing partnerships or eliminating rivals, they battle to fill the power vacuum in the city. Tarantula refuses Batman's order to join her gang, the remainder of the Latinos Uniteds to Orpheus and the Hill Gang. Bruce decides to give Catalina a chance to try this her way, keeping them out of harm's way. Hush refuses an offer from a mysterious newcomer to the chaos, remaining uninterested in conquering Gotham and staying focused on the destruction of Batman.
