  The briefing 
  Gotham is a city of myths. Good 
  clashes with the twisted, grinning 
  reflection of evil under eternal 
  twilight. IT is the front line for an 
  unending war of justice against 
  crime. There are people here who 
  live as absolutes, who give their 
  lives to higher causes, who push 
  themselves to the limits of 
  humanity. 
   you are not one of those people. 
  You are the beat cops, the marks, 
  the dime store vigilantes, the 
  henchmen, and two-bit crooks 
  trying to get by in the crossfire of 
  unstoppable forces and immovable 
  objects. 
  This town will break your heart, 
  take your wallet, carve a smile on 
  your face to let you bleed out on 
  the street. 
  this makes Gotham the perfect 
  environment for high ambition and 
  poor impulse control.  
  Remember, what doesn’t kill you 
  will probably leave you horribly 
  scarred and criminally insane.
