Description
War Games: Act Two - Tides - The Only Light in Gotham
In a rare moment of quiet amidst the city-wide gang war that plagues Gotham, Robin calls his father. He's broken his word and resumed his life as Robin, and he wants his father to hear it from him, not from the news. Jack is able to come to an uneasy peace with his son's decision, and the whole Drake family travels to Leslie's clinic to assist in caring for the wounded. Black Mask has been slaughtering those who have risen to power amidst Gotham's gang war, including Orpheus. Secretly Batman's agent in the Hill gang, Orpheus was the central figure in a plan to unite the Gotham underworld secretly under Batman's agent. And now, he's gotten his hands on Spoiler, and Black Mask doesn't treat his guests well.
