●● MAIN HEADLINE: RED HOOD STRIKES AGAIN ●●
n a shocking turn of events the formally dubbed “Redface” vigilante has reappeared and has left his mark on Gotham City once again! This time however, not only just did “Redface” leave an uncommon trail, but he officially corrected the media of his name. A note was left at Sionis Industries, Gotham’s own steel factory after an atttack was committed on two workers that forced them from Gotham City out of fear. Roman Sionis, the head of The Steel Workers Union was said to be very disappointed with Red Hood’s (as he named himself) assault on Gotham’s working class. The two unnamed workers of The Steel Workers Union was said (according to Sionis) to have fled in terror, fearing for the lives of their families as well as themselves. With Commissioner Gordon's stance on vigilantes, it will be interesting to see how he approaches this situation as now, not only is criminals being beat but citizens due to Red Hood's reign of terror. Whoever submitted the tip asked that Roman Sionis be quoted saying... " 'It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it' " which of course was said by Douglas MacArthur. The Steel Workers Union will not tolerate Red Hood's random attacks, neither will the rest of the unions across Gotham City!
● R. Sionis: This is War!: Being the head of a powerful union like The Steel Workers means you need to be strong in your stance and Roman Sionis is NOT backing down. After being served a "death warrant" by Red Hood, Sionis' controversial remarks made on record regarding the crimson faced vigilante's seemingly random attack on two of his union-mate Sionis maybe putting a huge target on his own back. A polarizing figure in his own right, Sionis has been rumored to be involved in organized crime since his teen-age years, but it has never been proven. He has however, declared war on Red Hood, how will this end?
● "Redface" No, Red Hood: On the note that The Gazette is attempting to attain regarding Roman Sionis being served a "death warrant," we officially have a name for the vigilante that was dubbed "Redface" as he calls himself Red Hood. The Gazette is actively trying to get the note and has offered an unspecified amount of payment to Roman Sionis, keep tuned for updates.
● Wayne Hosts Fundraiser: During his SHOCKING revelation of being alive, Bruce Wayne announced that a fundraiser at Wayne Manor would be held for Richard "Ricky" Grayson in an attempt to restore some semblance to the boy's life. The fundraiser will be open to all, but Wayne is targeting higher society so ensure enough funds is generated for the orphan.
● Luthor in Gotham City?: Our sister paper- The Daily Planet has reported that head of LexCorp; Lex Luthor is holding a business meet with some of Gotham's officials regarding future endeavours. Luthor's company is breaking stock records as we speak, many rumors swirl that he's looking to make Gotham his next stop.
● Freeze Bandit Vanishes: As quickly as 'The Freeze Bandit' appeared, he's gone. A string of successful robberies on the records, he stopped- pardon the pun- cold turkey. GCPD is still baffled on how someone could channel cryogenetics to such a degree and not be tracked, whoever the individual is, he's very clever.
● Haly's Circus Leaving Town: Due to the circumstances of the death of The Graysons, the city blocked any movement from Haly's Circus but with the investigation complete- they're free to continue their travels. It's estimated that due to being stuck in Gotham, the circus lost an approximate $84,400 which is a HUGE amount for a smaller, independent company. Haly's Circus is expected to leave town mid-week.. it's unknown if they intent to return some day.
● Blackgate Prison Renovations Soon: Following the trend of Arkham Asylum, Blackgate Prison will be undergoing renovations to modernize technology. One of the oldest prisons in the United States, Blackgate has seen it's share of famous prisoners going all the way back to the early 20's. The prison will be worked on in sections, prisoners will either be transferred to Ryker Heights temporarily or will be fitted in other cell-blocks.
● New Falcone in Town?: When one thinks of Falcone, Carmine automatically shoots to mind. Despite the sightings of Mario Falcone in recent weeks, it's the sudden appearance of Alberto Falcone, the oldest of Carmine's children. Alberto lived a bit of his life in Gotham, bouncing between coasts due to his mother and father's radical relationship- but with the very public breakdown of The Falcone Family, could Alberto be in town to takeover the family operation?
● Ports Being Investigated: An anonymous tip came through to GCPD that specified the ports of Gotham, especially crates coming in through Falcone Shipping. GCPD as well as ATF is tracking all shipments coming in from across the Atlantic Ocean, especially those from Europe.
● New Serial Killer on the Rise?: A series of grizzly crime-scenes has popped up in the past week and a half signaling yet another serial killer on the loose in Gotham. This time, the murderer chooses to fuse body parts from different individuals to create a doll of sorts, GCPD has gone on record saying they have no leads at the moment. Reaching out for comment to the department was a failure as we have yet to hear from them.
● Production Issues Arise: Alice in Wonderland, the first big production by Gotham Theater was supposed to begin last week but the cast report that several issues have come up, ranging from outbursts on the set to threats being made. Basil Karlo- Gotham's own fallen star is looking to resurrect his career with this showing- but many claim he is nearly impossible to work with due to his 'superstar attitude.' This may be Karlo's last shot, we're hoping that it all works out!
● Knights Wreck the 'Quakes: The Gotham Knights have opened up the season on a tear as they're 5-0 heading into it's bye week. The latest victim? The Gateway City Earthquakes who was demolished 44-6! The Knights, under coach Theo DiMaggio has shown to not only be the pride of Gotham but a force heading into the stretch of the season. Next up is the Starling City SuperNovas, game time is 10AM EST on 8/9/15 in Gotham City!
● Crowne Back in Gotham?: After a little research, The Gazette has discovered that Derek Crowne; heir to The Crowne Family Estate has RETURNED to Gotham City! Crowne has worked himself as both a politician as well as entrepreneur of the highest degree. Currently, construction is underway at the Crowne Manor, he has yet to return to the public eye.
● Magician's Shop Opening: Former blockbuster magician; Giovanni Zatara is returning to Gotham after wrapping up his retirement magic tour and has laid out plans to open a Magic Shop in the downtown district! Known for his amazing illusions and uncanny ability to escape any confinement, Zatara in his later years taught magic to children as a past-time and feels as if Gotham needs more good- so his venture may very well be a success!
● Cobblepot's Momentum: In a poll taken in the city by The Gazette, an overwhelming 77% of legal aged voters said they will vote for Oswald Cobblepot for Mayor of Gotham City. Never in history has there been a candidate as strongly favored as Cobblepot, it's looking like he's a lock to take lead position with election season opening up soon. Current Mayor, Diedra Matthews has lost popularity points in recent weeks with Gotham's crime through the roof. It is unlikely she is voted back for a second tenure.
● Goliath Knocks Grant out in the 1st: In what is said to be total domination, Ted "Wildcat" Grant's return seemed to have reached a screeching halt as he was knocked out in the first round by Albert "Goliath" King. King is represented by the same management team that handles The Gotham Knights and the fight is said to have drawn a record $85 million at the gate. Figures regarding pay-per-view buys are still coming in- but next, King will square off against Joe Morgan, Jr to determine who the unanimous Heavyweight Champion of the World is!
