Genre: Gears of War-style third-person shooter w/ cover system.
Setting: Gotham City, in the art style of early Batman: The Animated Series; Depression-Era art deco with touches of retro-futurism.
Introduction: The worst of Batman's rogues gallery has been locked up for good in Arkham Asylum, renovated with his help to be inescapable. Commissioner James Worthington Gordon can finally indulge in a long-overdue retirement. We open at the retirement banquet, with Batman personally handing Gordon a golden pocket watch. Jim laments that his daughter couldn't be present. Barbara is at the hospital for an emergency check-up on her pregnancy--she is keeping the father's identity a secret, even from him.
Suddenly a shot rings out. Gordon takes one in the chest and is knocked to the floor. All the white-jacketed waiters brandish pistols; four men with shotguns are blocking the exits and another with a hunting rifle is perched on the balcony. "It's over, Bat!" our would-be assassin jeers over the screams of the crowd. "Tonight's the night when it all ends for you!"
Ignoring the hitman, Batman kneels over the fallen Gordon. "I'm all right," the old man grumbles behind his bushy white mustache. Jim Gordon is in remarkable shape for his age; a Badass Grandpa with a manly lantern jaw and the burly physique of a beat cop in a bad neighborhood. "Thanks to this body armor you gave me. And here I thought you were just being paranoid." Gordon draws his trusty .45 from inside his tuxedo jacket, but stops, clutching his chest. "Easy, Jim. Your heart again?" Batman says. "Damn angina," replies Gordon. "Take your medicine," the Dark Knight instructs, "And leave this to me."
Batman fires his grappling hook into the chandelier and flies upwards, simultaneously throwing four Batarangs that dispatch the door guards. Detective Harvey Bullock takes the opportunity to force open the doors. "Let's go, everybody! Out out out!" he shouts. "What about the Commissioner?" asks his partner, Detective Renee Monotya (looking totally fine in her dress uniform). "The Commish is a tough old bird and he's got The Bat to watch his back," Bullock growls. "Our duty is to protect these people. Now, c'mon!"
"Forget them!" cries the lead gangster. "Get The Bat!" In no time, the banquet hall is cleared of all but the gangsters, Batman...and you!

Your gallery's great (especially the DBZ girls) but I saw a distinct lack of Kagemaru. That should be fixed, I think.
