ENGLISH BOOK

It's been a few weeks since the gang war ended and things have been relatively quiet in Gotham. However, Batman finds the corpse of a young man on the streets and discovers that he died from a drug overdose. Once again, the drug trade has returned to Gotham and Batman sets out to find the responsibles for dealing the drugs. Batman finds a dealer selling more drugs on the back of a darkened alley. Batman attacks the criminal and tries to take the truth out of him. However, one of the men who was trying to buy the drugs attacks Batman, before being knocked out for his mistake.

After Batman learns where the dealer gets his supplies, he rides the Batmobile towards the place, but he is soon spotted by the GCPD, who have orders to arrest Batman on sight. Batman is being chased by several police cars, just like during the first days of being Batman. He takes a turn inside a tunnel that leads him to a subway train station. Batman drives the car to the railroad tracks just before the subway train arrives, stopping the police from chasing him.

Moments later, Batman has arrived at the building where the drugs are being supplied and he also notices that the police are arriving at the place. Batman spots three men talking in one of the upper floors of the building and a group of girls sitting sill in front of them. Batman comes in crashing through the window and knocks down two of the criminals before going for the one who looked like the leader. Batman was expecting to find the Lucky Hand Triad or the Escabedo Cartel, but instead he finds that the gang behind it all is the Yakuza. Batman grabbed the leader of the group and tries to question him about the drugs, but the man breaks a cyanide pill on his mouth, killing himself at once. Batman is aware that the police might come inside any minute and he takes one look at the girs, who were all wearing hats. Batman removes one of the hats from one of the girls and she recovers consciuosness immediately after. The police breaks inside the room, but Batman is already gone to a nearby rooftop, where he deduces that the girls are being mind-controlled using the technology of The Mad Hatter, but this is not his usual M.O. …
