Synopsis
The villains have taken over. We, the heroes are the only hope against this animalistic ruling. We will work together to defeat them, at all costs.

Batman
Batman's first mission sees him hunting down Captain Cold and Mister Freeze on an iced over version of the Final Offer. He must get in unseen, and steal a Cryogenic Fuse Reactor from them. He gets to their lab only to find that they have already completed their Ice Bombs and he must attack them both and steal the reactor. He then learns that they were operating against the villain holding Earth captive: The Emperor.

Batman's second mission sends him after Scarecrow. He goes into Sionis Industries (where Scarecrow is hiding out and takes out all of the guards with ease. He then approaches Scarecrow and tells him the game is up. Scarecrow then responds to Batman by telling him "The fear will consume you, Batman!". Bruce puts his mask on to avoid the fear gas but none comes out. Batman warily approaches Scarecrow only for him to turn around and attack Batman with Yellow Light Constructs. Batman must escape Sionis as Scarecrow is chasing him. He then proceeds to tell everyone else that Scarecrow is using a Yellow Power Ring.

The Bat's third mission pits him up against The Mad Hatter. He receives an invitation from the Hatter telling him to meet him at Gotham Amusement Park. Batman wanders in, children running around the park, but not one notices him. He walks further in before the children attack him and take his cowl. He has to stay stealthy but follow the children to get his cowl back. The children take the cowl back to Mad Hatter who walks through a mysterious portal with it, and Batman follows.
