“Gotham Chronicles: Headless Gunman"
Gotham Knight: "Draven for I wish I could die and end this madness that I call my life, but I simply cannot for I am already dead. I am nothing but a breathing lifeless shadow in the night. For with that I only ask you and Tigris. Are you ready to step into my shadow?"
Gotham Knight looks down toward the ground. The camera cuts off the footage. Around the belt of Gotham Knight comes in a police call.
"Woman: Calling in all units, there is a murder scene involving two victims in Central Park. All patrolling police officers in that area, report there immediately."
Gotham Knight looks back up toward the video recorder as this episode ends.

A man and a woman are pacing back and forth along the grass area near the road in Central Park in New York City. They are very apprehensive at the situation. As they pace by the road; blood fills the road as the new river in Central Park. A motorcycle could be heard coming toward them from a distance not too far from their location. They looks west from where they stand. There is a hill in the distance as they continue to stare toward that direction. A black figure flies from the hill in the air toward the ground. A cape flies in the air as if it were wings of a bat. It is Gotham Knight on his motorcycle. He lands back on the road leading toward the crime scene.
Gotham Knight arrives at the location a few moments later. He stops about three feet away from the bodies lying on the floor in the middle of the sidewalk. The man and the woman who were standing there waiting for the police to come quickly run off. Gotham Knight looks over at the two running away from him. He understands why they fear him. He is still new in the public eyes of New York city. The tabloids and newspapers put out all these rumors concerning who and what the Gotham Knight really is. He expected this to come with the job, it was in his description. Gotham Knight gets up from his motorcycle and looks toward the bodies on the floor.
They are a man and woman. Their faces are pale white as it looks to be they have been dead for about an hour. Gotham Knight walks over to the bodies. He steps in the pool of blood around them. It looks like they might have been attacked by an animal from the way they look. On their necks are bite marks, claw tracks were left carved into their face and bodies. The man is missing a left arm, while the woman has a chew up right leg. Pieces of their flesh could be seen from around them. Also in their chest there is a rather large hole. Gotham Knight leans in for a closer look. He notices that the two victims are missing their hearts.
He doesn’t know of any wild animal that will tare a body open just to get the heart. By the looks of their hands they seemed to have put up a fight of some sort, obviously losing to whatever creature that attacked them. He reaches into the man’s pocket and pulls out his wallet. Gotham Knight opens it up and notices money that a man would have stolen still in there, every major credit card, everything. He has come to the conclusion now that it was not a human being that did this, with the evidence he has gotten. He looks up on the road and notices footprints left in blood. They leave a trail for about four steps but suddenly stop as if just vanishing from the world. The footprints seem to be left by a size twelve.
Gotham Knight hears sirens out of nowhere no less than twenty feet away from him. He jerks his head looking toward the direction from where the man and woman ran. Cars swarm the area. Out from the front vehicle comes the man and woman who ran from him earlier.
Man: "There he is! That’s the guy who killed them!"
Gotham Knight is confused. They saw him just arrive at the scene, why would they accuse him of killing this couple. He shakes his head. Gotham Knight reaches in a pocket in his utility belt. Every cop steps out from their car and aims their guns at Gotham Knight. He is still kneeling down toward the victims as this does not look good in his favor. Another woman steps out from the front vehicle. She is wearing jeans, a black top, and a coat. Dangling from around her neck is her badge. She pulls out her weapon and also points it at Gotham Knight. She moves in closer to Gotham Knight as the other cops stay in their positions.
Ashley: "This is Detective Ashley Rodrigues of the NYPD! Put your hands up and slowly walk away from the bodies!"
Gotham Knight looks over at the detective as she is not playing any games. He gets a real good look at her and notices her beauty, but sweet talking won’t get him out of this situation. He raises his arms in the air and slowly rises back up to his feet.
Ashley: "Now turn toward me and slowly walk over here!"
Gotham turns his body toward her. They lock eyes to one another. She then notices that he has some sort of ball in his right hand.
Ashley: "Drop whatever is in your hand right now or we will shoot!"
Gotham Knight looks around at all the guns being pointed at him. He then throws the ball down toward the ground. Detective Rodrigues and the other officers begin to shoot as smoke suddenly appears from the ground. A motorcycle could be heard coming from behind the smoke as it begins to clear. Gotham Knight could be seen riding away from the scene. Ashley turns around at the other police and shouts at them.
Ashley: "Don’t just stand there! Go get him!"
Three police vehicles drive off after Gotham Knight as Ashley and a few other cops stay behind to investigate more on the two dead bodies. The sirens of the police cars chasing Gotham Knight catches his attention as he looks back to see that he is indeed being chased. He rides out of Central Park and onto the streets of New York. The bad thing about tonight is that there are not enough motorcycles riding this late into the night. He must lose the police and fast. He turns into an alley and already two pass him, but the third one follows him. He could feel the heat of the lights from the cop car pressing through him. Gotham Knight quickly swerves right and the cop was not quick enough as he hits a dumpster stopping the police in their tracks.
Gotham Knight rides out of the alley but the other two police cars are now back on his trail. They are now taking up two lanes riding side by side trying to catch up to him. Now the police are shouting through their intercom yelling for Gotham Knight to pull over and give himself up. Gotham Knight speeds up, but so do the police as they are so close to him. Gotham Knight realizing this decides to use some of his modifications that he put on his bike. He presses a button on the bike and a hook is shot out from the front of his motorcycle. He flies into the air in front of him as it swings around a light post. As he moves closer to the light post, the motorcycle is lifted into the air as he flips over the light post as the police zoom underneath him. He presses the button once more to release the hook and he with the motorcycle land on the ground.
The police stomp on their breaks, but Gotham Knight is already heading down another direction out of their view as Gotham Knight has lost the police. As he continues his ride back to his unknown apartment he suddenly begins to slow down. Gotham Knight is confused as to why he is slowing down. He looks down and notices that he is running on empty. The bike then comes to a complete stop.
Gotham Knight: "Damn."
Gotham Knight gets off his motorcycle and has to walk with it back home. He goes through alleys and other dark places around the city so he is not caught. He finds the two police cars still patrolling around looking for him once awhile. But him and his bike blend too much to the dark and are easy to hide when they drive by. An hour and a half later, Gotham Knight reaches the alley where he leaves his bike at and puts it behind the dumpster. He jumps into the dumpster and pulls out a container. He goes back to his motorcycle and begins to pour gasoline in the gas tank. A minute later he heads across the street to the fire escape to his apartment.
He does his usual routine when he enters back to his apartment room. But this time he heads into the shower after he undresses. Three minutes later he is out wearing regular clothing. He looks over and notices that he still has their blood on them. He picks them up and goes over to his sink and washes them off. He wishes he would have had more time to do a better investigation on the bodies, maybe take a few photos. But he can’t help but think what attacked them. His thoughts are going in and around his head and thinking is very difficult right now and to top it all off he can’t get Detective Ashley Rodrigues out his head. He begins to have a headache, he opens the medicine cabinet next to him and looks for some Advil, nothing. He closes the medicine cabinet and leaves his boots in the sink to dry off. He goes back into his "Bat Cave" known as his room and lays in bed, shortly after his eyes close and the dreams begin, and tomorrow night. The nightmare continues.
An alarm clock goes off. Gotham Knight reaches out and turns the alarm off that reads “9:00pm.”He gets up out of bed and rubs his eyes to help him adjust to the night. He stands up and walks over to the window, he sees nobody on his deserted street. He takes a moment to stretch before walking over to the bathroom where he left his boots just hours before. He grabs his boots and puts them on, fresh without blood he then goes to the closet and starts to suit up. His typical routine. He exits his apartment by leaving his window and jumping down the fire escape. He hasn’t eaten in twenty-four hours and he is beginning to feel the effects of hunger craving in his stomach. He looks around searching for anybody walking his side of the abandon roads. He runs across the street and then he sees an old Italian restaurant that’s called “Il Primo.”
Not a lot of people go to the restaurant anymore since the incident involving the city’s mayor two years ago after he was elected. But it wasn’t Toni’s fault that the pizza was thrown in the mayor’s face. It just so happens that Toni was the one holding the pizza when the paparazzi pushed him into the mayor. Since then the mayor has been making Toni’s restaurant a living Hell. Too bad, the guy makes a good Chicken Parmesan. But ever since that night he was held at gunpoint in the alley down the street and Gotham Knight was there to make the save, he has been feeding Gotham Knight for free. Good thing to since Gotham Knight is not known for keeping money. Gotham Knight jumps over a wall and he is now at the back of the restaurant. There is a plate of Chicken Parmesan waiting for him at a table. It is always hot and fresh out of the kitchen. Gotham Knight sits at the table and grabs the fork and begins to eat.
The plate is filled with chicken and spaghetti. Though Gotham Knight only eats half a plate as there is no time to enjoy a full meal. Gotham Knight is on the move again. As he is running around he happens to see a slow running newspaper stand that looks to be ready to close for tonight. The man who runs it is in his van putting away the little cash he made for today. The main headline seems to have caught his eye. He grabs the newspaper and runs off. The guy in the van sees this and gets out of his van yelling at Gotham Knight who runs into an alley. The man follows him but when he reaches the alley it is a dead end. He looks around for a moment but no sign of the masked man. He turns around and heads back to his van.
In the alley though is Gotham Knight up in the middle of the two buildings, holding himself up with each foot on a building. He brings his legs back together and lands on the ground. He sets the paper down in the middle of the sidewalk so he could see what is says while he stays in the alley where it is dark for nobody could see him.
Gotham Knight A Real BATman?

For weeks Gotham Knight has been running around New York City playing superhero in a Batman costume. The public has been back and forth arguing whether he is here to keep us safe or destroy us all. Some could argue that he is here to keep us safe, just ask Mary Sullivan who just two weeks ago was trapped in the basement with her two children while John Lovejoy a former employee of her now deceased husband Michael Sullivan, forced himself into their house with a shotgun looking to kill the family after being fired earlier in the day from Sullivan’s company. Mary Sullivan and her two children were just moments away from being killed until Gotham Knight showed up to save them.
“When Michael went to check out what was happening, the children and I heard gunshots and ran for the basement. If it wasn’t for Gotham Knight we would be dead right now” says Mary Sullivan. Though you would have to wonder, why was Gotham Knight in the house? How did he know there was a family in the need of help just outside the city? Maybe he was in there to kill them himself before John showed up. This by the way brings me to my next point. Lovejoy was found with his head blasted off when police arrived. Gotham Knight isn’t Batman, because Batman would never have killed Lovejoy by blowing his brains all over the room.
Now even though I just said he wasn’t Batman, I still believe he is A BATman. Last night in Central Park two victims, a man and a woman, were found with bite marks on their necks. What does this have to do with Gotham Knight? Well first he dresses up like a bat, and who turns into bats? Vampires! Yes I’m going out and calling out Gotham Knight a vampire. But why do I assume it Gotham Knight? Well for one, when police arrived he was there hanging over the bodies with his fangs out clawing at the already dead couple. And you know what else? The victims were missing body parts, the flesh of the two dead bodies were ripped apart with what looks like to be sharp teeth. This guy is a cannibal too!
“I saw him with my own eyes. He was scary and very big, his teeth were already filled with blood. I know he killed them” says twenty-three year old Robert Smith, who is the one who called for the police when he saw the bodies. “The NYPD does not know if this Gotham Knight is the one who did this. We are still investigating this situation as we speak. Right now Gotham Knight is a suspect and we need to bring him in for questioning. The NYPD asks you to call us if you have any information regarding the whereabouts of Gotham Knight" says Head Detective Ashley Rodrigues.
This reporter doesn’t trust this fake Batman and if you were as smart as me, you wouldn’t either. Watch out for the Bloody Knight, for soon he will need to eat.*
Gotham Knight as the “Bloody Knight”
As drawn by Michael Johnson (ABOVE)
Gotham Knight shakes his head. How could they believe it was him that did this? Especially the two who ran off, why would he return to the dead bodies if he was the one who already killed them? And the picture that is illustrated in the newspaper pictures him as a damn Vampire/Cannibal. After he has put forth the sacrifices for New York they want to blame him as the monster. Whoever this Larry Walker is, he doesn’t like Gotham Knight. He hopes to make Gotham Knight his main attraction for the Sunday paper as the villain. Hopefully nobody will believe this paper regarding Gotham Knight, as it will be much more difficult saving lives when he is hated.
But what is this about being a Vampire? The bite marks on the victims’ necks? A reasonable theory but not very logical. Vampires are just a myth made up by authors to sell their books. They are not real, but who knows. Batman was never a real man, just a made up character in a comic book, and here is Gotham Knight bringing the character to life but as his own Batman. Gotham Knight hears screams of men and women coming from down the street. He looks toward the direction of the screams and there is a meat factory. He then looks over at the fire escape of his building and runs toward it.
Gotham Knight climbs up the fire escape all the way up until he is on the roof of the apartment. He continues to jump from building to building heading toward the meat factory.
Inside the meat factory continues the screaming of men and women. It is dark in the building but there are lights scattered around here and there that light up the place. It seems to be empty, but the screams continue heading toward a room. A giant freezer that is upstairs and downstairs. In this room are hundreds of giant hooks used to hold up the meat. Though the meat that is usually on the menu is no longer in stock as bodies are hung from the hooks by their backs. Some still alive others dead. On the dead ones, their bodies are ripped apart, mainly on the chest where there hearts used to be. Bite marks could be seen on all their necks with blood sucked out of them.
In the room is a man with not long hair but neither short black hair. He has on black leather pants and a black coat over his shirtless body. Around his neck is a medallion. There seems to be a tattoo of a black line going down from the middle of his upper lip toward his chest. He has ocean blue eyes to go along with his features. He is seen eating at a dead man’s chest who is hanging by a hook. He reaches into the man’s chest and rips out the heart. He gives an evil laugh before he starts to chew away at the man’s heart. At this time Gotham Knight is seen walking over the railings upstairs quietly. The man eating the heart turns around and looks up to where Gotham Knight is standing as if he heard him from a mile away.
He tosses the heart to the ground and wipes his mouth from the blood showing his fangs. Gotham Knight stays in place and just watches him closely.
Vampire: "So. You are The Famous Gotham Knight."
Gotham Knight does not say a word, but continues to listen.
Vampire: "How rude of me. I am Dante, Lord of the Darkness."
Dante bows down to Gotham Knight.
Gotham Knight: "Why are you doing this?"
Dante: "I too get hungry and the only thing that seems to fulfill my appetite is the blood of mortal men and women."
Gotham Knight: "But why eat the bodies themselves?"
Dante: "I am a Vampire Gotham Knight. When I drink the blood from my prey’s necks, they too will become vampires. And the only way to kill a vampire is to stab them in the heart. And stakes make me nauseous. So I prefer to just eat their hearts too."
Gotham Knight: "You’re a sick bastard."
Dante laughs.
Dante: "Maybe I am, but that is just the way I was born centuries ago. There is no changing that."
Gotham Knight: "Well looks like I’ll be the man to do it."
Dante: "You’re just a mere mortal. You are weak against my powers. I will kill you just like the others who’ve tried."
Gotham Knight: "I’m not like the others."
Dante smiles and waves at him to bring it. Gotham Knight stands up on the railing and is about to jump down toward Dante, but suddenly from the doors downstairs bust open and in comes the police. First to run through pointing their gun is Detective Ashley Rodrigues. Both Dante and Gotham Knight look toward them.
Ashley: "FREEZE!"
Dante hisses at them and jumps up into the air as if he could fly. He reaches up fifteen feet into the air and lands on the opposite side of Gotham Knight. He starts to run across the walkway toward the doors heading toward the exit to the top of the roof. Gotham Knight runs after him.
Ashley: "Hold it right there!"
Ashley and the rest of her unit start to fire at the two. Dante reaches the doors but they are locked. Dante punches the door as it explodes open flying off the hinges. He looks over toward Gotham Knight who is still running after him.
Dante: "We will meet again, Gotham Knight."
Dante laughs as leaves the room. Behind Gotham Knight come running Ashley and her unit still chasing him. Gotham Knight reaches the doors and looks around outside as Dante has disappeared into the night. Gotham Knight hears the footsteps coming for him running faster and closer. Ashley and her unit show up outside to where Gotham Knight and Dante were just moments before. They look around and nobody is on the roof. She then kicks the door that is on the floor.
Ashley: Son-of-a-bitch!
