Oh, my Paws and Whiskers!

I didn't take to crime so someone else could steal my loot and then toss me a cut like I was some dreary little salaried office worker! Bane runs this city like a king, but he doesn't run me!

They spend their lives in breathless pursuit of meaningless goals, hoping to forget everything they know about their own mortality. Some people anchor themselves to something larger.

It's not unlike a heist. It requires a lot of planning. Waiting. Patience. Then it's game time. And you gotta go all in, or you're finished.
The cops aren't doing anything. But I thought you might. Help me. I know what kind of cop you are.

There are things I know. Really know. I can tell you exactly how long it will take to crack a lock just by looking at it. I can tell you the best high heeled shoes to run in. And I know when I'm facing someone who's been damaged by those who raised him. Mirrors come in all sizes.
You know, the three of us have been living on the edge way too long. When we're not running from the police, we're fending off some costumed whack-job. Gotham is worse than ever. That gives us a choice -- we can get out, or band together.
