FIRST MISSIONS: BATMAN [SPOILERS]

So, you’ve picked Batman to be your mentor – an excellent choice if you have a strong sense of justice and love the color black!

Now that you’ve made it safely off Braniac’s ship with some help from Superman, you’ve arrived at your safehouse at the East End Police Station in Gotham. Go find Sergeant Doak, who has an urgent message for you from Batman himself! He was impressed with the way you dealt with Braniac’s forces, and wants to see how you handle hero work on the ground.

Scarecrow has escaped from Arkham Asylum, and is using his fear gas to terrorize all of the East End of Gotham. Are you ready to put your new hero skills to the test and face your nightmares?

Panic Attack

Scarecrow’s gang is setting up fear gas foggers in a nearby abandoned construction site, and it’s up to you to stop them! Exit the safehouse and follow the arrow on your minimap to the southwest until you reach the site.

Scarecrow’s Screamers are determined to distribute fear gas foggers to the rest of Gotham – so defeat them and send them back to Arkham Asylum where they belong! When you knock them out, they’ll drop their fear gas activators. Once you’ve collected enough, access your journal to complete the mission.

Panphobia

Batman’s caught word of another area that’s being gassed, and Gotham Hazmat is overwhelmed! Following your minimap again, head southwest to the Crime Scene in East End.

Once you reach the area, you’ll see that there’s a Hazmat Officer who could use your help – in fact, there are often people near crisis spots in the city who need a hero! Be sure to talk to them and offer to lend a hand.

There are civilians in the area who are under the effects of the fear gas – protect them against Scarecrow’s gang until Hazmat officers can arrive on the scene to help out! Take out any fear gas foggers in the area too to prevent Scarecrow from spreading his madness any further.

Night Terrors

Batman has created an antidote for the fear gas and has passed it along to Doctor Leslie Thompkins for mass production. Unfortunately, that’s not enough – he needs you to find the source of the fear gas barrels and get them off the street, so head north to the supply depot by the chemical factory in the Malone Improvement District.

Watch out, because now YOU’RE under the effects of the fear gas too! With all your hallucinations, it’ll be hard to tell who’s a Scarecrow henchman and who’s a Hazmat technician just trying to help. Pick up the fear gas barrels and follow the arrow overhead to deliver them to the safe zone – once you’ve cleared the streets, complete the mission in your journal for a reward.

Clinical Strike

Good news – Doctor Leslie Thompkins has finished synthesizing the antidote for the fear gas! Bad news – Scarecrow’s gang is assaulting the area, preventing the doctors and Hazmat techs from helping anyone. Head east to the Gotham Free Clinic, and speak to Detective Harvey Bullock on the scene.

While Bullock may not be a fan of caped crusaders, there’s no denying he needs your help. Protect the doctors in the area and administer the antidote to nearby civilians, knocking out some of Scarecrow’s thugs in the process. Then, head up to the rooftops and aid the Hazmat officers in getting the air scrubbers working to clear the area of fear gas!

Fear Itself

Batman’s uncovered the location of Scarecrow’s lair in the sewers, so it’s time to take care of him once and for all!

He sent Batwoman down to arrest Scarecrow, but unfortunately nobody’s heard from her since – that means it’s up to you to dive down beneath Gotham and put your new heroic skills to test in the toughest challenge you’ve faced yet! Head west to the entrance of the sewers and descend into madness.

Scarecrow knows you’ve arrived, and immediately doses you with fear gas! You’ll have to fight off your hallucinations, but thankfully Oracle’s in your ear helping keep you sane. She wants you grab the leaking fear gas barrels nearby and bring them to the safe zone to be neutralized.

Once you’ve cleared out the gas in the area, move deeper into the sewer in search of Batwoman. You won’t get far though – Scarecrow’s minions Edward and Eddie are blocking your path! Once you’ve dealt with these new terrors, continue further into Scarecrow’s lair.

Batwoman’s in the next room fighting off her hallucinations, so give her a hand! Once you do, Scarecrow will arrive on the scene to terrorize you both. Under the effects of his gas, both you and Batwoman will have to fight your fears in a variety of forms – from lightning, to crows, to bullets, to reptiles, to members of the Batman Family itself! Remember – none of it is real though, and Batwoman is there by your side to help take him down.

Congratulations on arresting Scarecrow! Batwoman will take it from here and make sure he’s sent back to Arkham Asylum.

Batman’s impressed with your calm under pressure – there’s no doubt he’ll be relying on you to help protect Gotham in the future!

Heroic Grace

Batwoman wants to give you her thanks for coming to her aid, so exit the sewer and head back south to the East End Police Station. Speak with her to claim your reward and grab your next mission. Your journey as the savior of Gotham is just beginning!
