Batman's Last Case: The Langstrom Drive - Items of Note

### Decommissioned Bat-Signal

The Bat-Signal was how the late Commissioner James Gordon summoned Batman to GCPD HQ. Even as time went on and their relationship developed beyond the need for it, Jim would still use it as a symbol. He used to say it was a promise to the people of Gotham City, that Batman was out there, that they were protected. He also called it a warning, a dare almost, to the city's underworld. "Just try something and see what happens."

Following Jim's passing, new Commissioner Catherine Kane had the Bat-Signal removed from the roof and submitted into evidence.

Nightwing: No Gordon, no Batman ... no need for a Bat Signal.

###  Evidence #0408-B

Item: Stolen Diamonds: Suspect: Selina Kyle, aka, Catwoman.

Filing Notes: Several pounds of diamonds from Gotham City Jewellers in Old Gotham in a heist. One of several suspected to have been performed by the serial cat burglar Selina Kyle.

Nightwing: I heard Selina got busted during her last heist. Wonder how many lives Catwoman has left?

### Evidence #2109-D

Item: Ventriloquist Dummy. Suspect: Peyton Riley, aka The Ventriloquist.

Scarface: A wooden ventriloquist dummy known as Scarface, seized from Peyton Riley, the daughter of the Irish mob heavyweight Sean Riley. Peyton Riley claims innocence for all charges against her, stating it was the dummy who is actually at fault. This includes two homicides.

Nightwing: ... Nope.

###  Evidence #2708-A

Item: Ceremonial Costume. Suspect: Unknown

Filing Notes: Ceremonial garb found on unidentified body recovered from Wayne Manor ruins. Includes cape and several 10-carat gold detailing. The costume appears to be quite old and is likely worth thousands.

Nightwing: This belonged to Ra's al Ghul. Wonder where the rest of him got to.

#### Report on Vigilante Activity:

Alias: Nightwing.

The vigilante Nightwing was known to have headquarters in Blüdhaven until recently. He seems to have made friends with BPD, evidently, there's a "charm" to him. Lt. Svoboda assures us she's building a task force to identify collaborators within BPD ranks. Nightwing's impressive acrobatic prowess makes apprehending the suspect a difficult proposition. He's also responsible for more Gotham City incarcerations than any vigilante besides the [currently absent] Dark Knight himself.

Nightwing: Hell of a file on me. I'm almost flattered.

### Background File #0442: Robin

A police file on Robin that repeatedly calls the Boy Wonder a sidekick.

Report on Vigilante Activity

Alias: Robin

The unidentified vigilante "Robin" is connected to Batman on countless cases, going as far back as Tony Zucco's arrest. He appears to be male, still younger than 18. Despite his age, Robin is a formidable fighter with a high level of intelligence, and investigative abilities rivalling his mentor. We currently don't know if the parents/legal guardians have any idea this boy risks his life as Batman's tactical support sidekick. Regardless, GCPD intends to try him as an adult accomplice.

Prepared by: Detective Crispus Allen

Nightwing: Some of this early stuff is about me. Weird to think about.

### Background File #1131: Red Hood

A police file on Red Hood that describes the hero as a dangerous criminal.

Report on Vigilante Activity

Alias: Red Hood.

The criminal known as Red Hood is the prime suspect in the executions of several other criminals each involved in major crimes. Statistically, he's responsible for more hospitalisations than anyone in Batman's gang, proving Batman's methods are inconsistent, and his moral high ground is for show. Working theory is Red Hood works as the group's fixer, when brutality is required to solve problems. His combat efficiency suggests military training. Do not engage alone.

Prepared by: Detective Romy Chandler

Nightwing: Red Hood's file. They make him sound so scary.

#### Report on Vigilante Activity

Alias: Batgirl

The vigilante called Batgirl exhibits a fluid combat style, based on security footage and eyewitness accounts. Possibly suggests a dancer background. We've pulled admissions records for several prominent arts schools to determine potential suspects. Batgirl is also intimately familiar with police procedure, as well as ongoing investigations. A related theory is that Batgirl is a GCPD officer frustrated by red tape/protocol. Internal review is pending.

Prepared By: Detective Marcus Driver

Nightwing: Batgirl. They clearly have no idea who she is.

### Memo from Kane:

An internal memo to GCPD encouraging officers to target vigilantes.

Re: Vigilantes in Gotham City

To: GCPD Central

From: Comm. Catherine Kane

CC: Office of Strategic Communications

I recieved petitions from several members expressing concerns for our recent, firm stance against costumed vigilantes in Gotham City.

Some in this department argue that vigilantes help this city, and in turn our department. I assure you that the only difference between a costumed "hero" and a costumed "villain" is public relations.

If a vigilante is present or we find evidence of vigilante activity at a crime scene, GCPD policy dictates we treat said vigilante as a suspect.
