●● MAIN HEADLINE: BRUCE WAYNE IS ALIVE! ●●
It was the shock felt around the world as a mysterious request sent to our publication led to Vicki Vale having an exclusive sit-down with whom we believed was the sole heir to the Wayne Estate actually turned out to be Bruce Wayne announcing to the world that he had eluded captivity with help from The Bat and was alive! An unbelievable turn of events to say the least, Bruce Wayne’s return to Gotham means a lot in terms of faith being restored due to what he represents. The Wayne Family has been a pillar of support for the city as it was Bruce's mother and father, the late- great Thomas and Martha Wayne that is believed to have put Gotham on the map as a place of importance. Bruce has done as well, with multiple charitable donations made to several programs for both displaced children and Gotham's homeless population, there isn't a cause Bruce Wayne hasn't given gracious amounts of money and support to. With Wayne seemingly back from the dead, look to a lot of eyes fall on who he will endorse in the Mayor race coming out between Oswald Cobblepot, Diedre Matthews and whomever else will decide to throw their name into the hat. Also, Wayne's emergence from nothingness means Wayne Enterprises will boom.. signaling a new day in Gotham as maybe finally, the city's economy will stop suffering from the incident.
● Bruce Wayne Lives!: In a headline that is dominating publications through the world, Bruce Wayne being alive is both shocking and important. During his sit-down with Vicki Vale, Bruce announced that he was held captive by an unknown terrorist cell and was saved by The Bat and Nightwing. Both announcements is big for the city of Gotham as knowing The Bat is alive may deter criminal activity as the possibility of him popping up at anytime is there. With Bruce Wayne being alive, his philanthropistic ways will continue, benefiting all those involved.
● "Redface" Disappeared?: It seems that the vigilante that threw the city through a loop known only by the media given name of "Redface" has vanished. No reported sightings for over a week and a half, that is very strange as there was nightly tips of the figure being seen bouncing through alleys, chasing after armed thugs. GCPD is said to be 'happy' with 'Redface' vanishing, as they no longer are under fire to figure out his identity.
● Grayson Boy an Orphan: An emergency motion was filed to block guardianship being granted to C.C. Haly, owner of Haly's Circus to being Richard "Ricky" Grayson's legal guardian. The city filed the motion due to feeling Grayson would not be properly cared for under his care. Haly is expected to appeal the motion, but for the moment Grayson will reside at the city's home for displaced children and adolescents.
● Dent's Big Promises as DA: Before Wayne's shocking return, Harvey Dent held the honor of that award. Now? Dent is shifting his focus to make a run for his relinquished title of District Attorney, all as he will run along side Oswald Cobblepot during the campaign. Dent has introduced several.. controversial ideas to curb criminal activity, ranging from stiffer punishment and looser restriction on GCPD to enforce laws. According to Dent, his approach will significantly take a chunk out of the rate and deter malicious behavior as 'the risk will not be worth the reward.'
● Wildcat vs. King Booked: Boxing has seen a decline in popularity, but one of the biggest stars the sport has seen is making a return and is heading straight for the top! Ted "Wildcat" Grant will be taking on Albert "The Goliath" King in a 12 round, slugfest. Wildcat has been away from the ring for years due to raising his son, but it's said that he's better than ever as he's managed to mature and train with different camps across the United States. Albert King is said to be the #2 ranked Heavyweight- if Grant is successful, there will be definite talks of Joe Morgan, Jr- Grant's original trainer who is the current USBO and ABA Heavyweight Champion versus Wildcat in one that will be remembered for the ages!
● Foul Play Not Found: GCPD's investigation of The Haly's Circus Horror is in, and foul play was officially ruled out. Early rumblings was there was 'something not right' according to feeling within the department that was brought to us by a source, but it seems that detectives were unable to link any crime to the tragic accident that took the lives of John and Mary Grayson, leaving their adolescent son, Ricky Grayson as a ward of the state.
● Several Dead in Shootout: It seems as if The Joker's crime spree is beginning to pick up steam as his calling card was left after GCPD were summoned due to multiple shots ringing out. Dr. Jeremiah Arkham and Commissioner Gordon are said to be under 'EXTREME PRESSURE' to find a way to get The Joker back into custody, Arkham is said to be held responsible for The Joker's crimes and possibly even be put on trial as an accessory to Joker's crimes.
● Who is Nightwing?: During Bruce Wayne's interview, he made mention that he was saved by The Bat.. and Nightwing, but who is Nightwing? We reached out to our sister publican, the Bludhaven Bugle and asked of any reports regarding a vigilante and was alerted that a man who has a similar build and approach to apprehending criminals as The Bat has been lurking in the shadows of Bludhaven. We can only speculate that Nightwing is like the other vigilantes through the city that have grown tired with being victims.. and are fighting back.
● Vicki Vale: Wayne Means Business: Being the one person granted the opportunity to air the shocking announcement, Vicki Vale was requested by name.. and she was promised a career altering interview, and it was a true statement. Vale said that being in Bruce Wayne's presence during his return was unlike 'anything' she had experienced before, he had a demeanor that meant 'business.' It's unknown how long Bruce Wayne has had any way to catch a glimpse of the on-goings of Gotham City, but Vale said he means business.. what will he do?
● Wayne Enterprises Soars: Stock in Wayne Enterprises sky-rocketed after Wayne's "return to life." The company that closed out a pretty $584.51 a share prior to Bruce Wayne's interview- the following day it closed at $632.82! Share-holders are excited for Bruce Wayne's return as it's unknown if Wayne will take back the CEO position at the table and unseat Lucius Fox, Wayne said he and Fox would sit down and talk about it when they had the chance. In more stock news, fellow Gotham-born company Sionis Industries closed off on $45.32 a share, down from $48.42 and Queen Industries closed at $594.53 and LexCorp an astonishing $638.30!
● Cobblepot 'Thrilled': The Gazette reached out to Mayor hopeful Oswald Cobblepot to get his word on Bruce Wayne's return as both men are widely known to have grown up together, but Mister Cobblepot had taken a trip to Sicily to "visit family." His office did return our call however that reported that Cobblepot was "thrilled" with Bruce Wayne's interview, during The Grey Knight Festival, Oswald Cobblepot was reduced to tears when he dedicated his Mayor candidacy to his old-friend.. Bruce Wayne.
● Gotham Airwaves Hacked: A hijacked signal has been flooding Gotham televisions and computer monitors as a man who promises 'Anarky' and to 'bring down the system' is apparent. The figure, who is behind a mask wth the anarchy logo across the forehead is one of the newer and more sophisticated threats in the city. Despite GCPD's technology department running traces, they come up on dead leads as the figure covers his digital foot-steps very well.
● Gordon Distracted?: A noticeable slip in Commissioner Jim Gordon's work ethic has brought many questions on if he's able to see the job through thoroughly, but our source has indicated what has had his attention. After the messy, very public divorce he and his wife went through- it's being reported that his daughter, Barbara Gordon has returned to Gotham and the Commissioner has been looking to spend more time with his daughter and repair their relationship. Barbara Gordon is an adolescent, close to the age of Ricky Grayson and it's said that feeling within GCPD is Gordon would be resign before allowing his relationship with his daughter to suffer any more.
