Stan Building
-Sound of the Sirens-
For several years, the streets of Gotham have been protected by the vigilante known as Batman. Night after night, the billionaire Bruce Wayne secretly wears the suit to defend the innocents against superpowered criminals trying to take over the city. But it seems that for once Bruce can have a good night’s rest; in the span of just a few months, he has managed to put almost his entire rogues gallery inside the Arkham Asylum with only a couple of his most prominent enemies still running loose. Now that crime has declined to an astronomically low number for the first time in decades, Bruce decides to hang up the cowl for a while to focus on his personal life and finances while Commissioner Gordon and the rest of the GCPD take over most of his work.
Meanwhile, after an experiment involving injecting modified toxins extracted from plants into test subjects in the hopes of improving one's immune system goes haywire, one of the participants, the young botanist Pamela Isley ends up hospitalized in a critical condition. The doctors can’t seem to figure out why her body is reacting so heavily because of the toxins, and more importantly how they could cure her before she will pass away. The more time passes, the more Pamela’s skin starts to become green. After a few days the man responsible for the experiment, Dr. Jason Woodrue, decides to visit her in the hospital mainly to document the results of his toxins. As he takes pictures and notes down some interesting observations, he doesn’t notice a bunch of sharp vines rising through the floor behind him. With one small hand movement, Pamela impales Jason with the vines leaving him to bleed out in the room. Confused about her new powers, she sneaks out of the hospital to seek shelter at her friend’s Harleen Quinzel and Selina Kyle’s place.
At the same time, following a failed escape attempt with explosives by one of the Arkham Asylum inmates, a large section of the prison got damaged. Even though none of the inmates or the guards got critically injured, the asylum is no longer fit to house some of the most dangerous criminals of the city until it gets repaired. Despite Batman being off-duty, Gordon still leaves him a message at the Bat-Signal asking him to guard the convoys the convicts are in while they get relocated to another nearby jail. After giving it some thought and discussing it with his butler Alfred, Bruce agrees to wear the suit for a short while again before continuing his break.
While the convoy drives through the city late at night, Batman follows it by running across the rooftops of buildings. As the group of transports stops at a red traffic light, he suddenly notices that the streets are starting to crack. Before he can glide down to check what is going on, gigantic plants erupt from beneath the street that heavily damage every single one of the transports. As Batman jumps off the building, the inmates detained in the convoy start to stumble out of the wreckage in an attempt to escape. Shortly after landing and making sure a couple of the criminals won’t make it away he notices Aaron Cash, a respected GCPD security guard holding crime lord Black Mask at gunpoint. As he tries to run towards him to try to figure out what is going on, he notices the cause of the destruction; some of the only villains he didn't manage to capture, Harley Quinn and Catwoman, are accompanied by someone he has never seen before who seems to control the plants. Before he can reach Aaron, another vine erupts from the ground below him knocking him out.
As he regains consciousness, a lot of the inmates have already managed to escape. Aaron helps him get back up on his feet as he notices a playing card laying on the street. He picks it up and sees it's a joker card with some writing on it.
‘’Joker sends his regards.’’
-The Gotham Sirens
Finally, the puzzle pieces fit together; the entire attack on the convoy was nothing more than a distraction to get Joker, the most dangerous villain Batman knows, out of prison along with causing more chaos around the city by releasing the rest as well. No matter what will happen, it will take Batman a lot of work to clean up this mess.

After seeing The Batman twice in the cinema a few weeks back, i can pretty confidently say that it is one of the best comic book movies in years. So following that, i got inspired to make a Batman figbarf very loosely inspired by the movie. Enjoy!
