Batman: City of Crime, Part 1 (of 5): Shadows.

Gotham. The city with its soul on fire. A city of victims. A city of villains. A city of heroes.

For years Gotham Gazette reporter Marv “Mickey” Fynn has allowed the dark corners of Gotham to ruin him. Once a reporter who rivaled Lois Lane and Clark Kent, Fynn has become a lost in an alcoholic haze.

With his job hanging by a thread, the jaded Fynn takes on one last story. One last chance to see his name on front page. But when he investigates a murder that would turn even the Joker’s stomach, Fynn enters a world he never thought he would.

The world of The Batman - a mysterious vigilante that has only just begun to appear in Gotham City.

Neither Fynn, nor Gotham will ever be the same again.

Set during the first years of Batman's career, Marv “Mickey” Fynn tries to keep his job by investigating a murder that is ghastly by even Gotham City’s standards. Convinced he knows the dead woman, Fynn starts his investigation in the roughest part of Gotham, in it’s roughest bar. The only person who might keep the jaded reporter alive is the mysterious underworld figure, Matches Malone!
