Batman (Game)

## Campaign

### Ace Chemical Zone (Tutorial)

The opening of the game sees Batman gliding into Ace Chemical Plant, where the Red Hood Gang is currently holding several prominent Gotham businessmen hostage. Lucius Fox instructs Batman through various moves and techniques, dispatching the Red Hood gangs with stealth as well as combat tactics.

### Waking Up

You wake up at Vicki Vale's penthouse, having slept with her the night before. Checking the time, it's roughly midnight. Bruce calls Alfred, and tells him that he's gotten the information he needs, confirming that the homicide rate has gone up. As you leave the apartment, Alfred suggests that this phenomenon might have been sparked by the Batman. Bruce denies this, but comments that it is about time for the Batman to make an appearance and check in at Arkham Asylum.

Alfred reluctantly agrees, and reports that he's sending the Batmobile en route to a nearby abandoned Wayne Metro station.
