Bill was born and raised in Gotham City. So he was used to... a lot. But a demon bat with tree trunks for arms fueled by rage? ... nope. That was new.

He just was hired to help with transferring some supplies from one territory to another as a trade deal. He didn't know exactly what the supplies were, and he didn't ask.

The night started calm enough at the docks, loading the trucks up. Until he started to notice people were going missing.

"Hey- anyone seen Landon?"

"No- he just went up high to make sure nobody was coming. You wanna check on him?" The other guy teased, making Bill roll his eyes. He headed towards the stack of shipping containers, climbing up until...

"Holy sh- GUYS- SOMEONE'S HERE- LANDON, HE'S KNOCKED OUT-" He turned around just in time to see something scoop up one of the snipers. "WHAT THE HELL-"

He fumbled for his gun, trying to see what fucking demon had decided to have his co-worker for lunch or whatever the fuck. He could hear the others panicking too, and their crowbars and guns clattering to the floor as they too were taken down.

"Uh- hello?! I- I'll shoot!" Bill tried to get some kind of reference of where the thing was, but there didn't seem to be anyone. Thud.

The goon didn't even have time to realize when he'd been yanked up, he just felt himself go up and then everything went black.

He woke up in a hospital, with doctors clearly baffled and police trying to ask what had happened. When Bill managed to get out something about a giant bat demon, they thought he'd hit his head too hard. But he knew what he'd seen. White eyes, a black silhouette gliding over the dim sky. A demon, or something close to it.

It ended up all over the news for the next few days. Most people thought the caught goons were crazy.

Until then was photographic proof of the Batman. He was seen right after dangling Rupert Thorne, a known mob boss, right in front of the Gotham Police Department. It was just clear enough to see that he did likely have a human face, with white eyes just as described. The police were in a bit of a panic, not sure what this meant for them. Especially those who were being paid by the mobs to keep them out of trouble.

And they weren't the only ones Batman attracted the attention of.

Bdubs walked into his apartment, smiling at the sight of his many cats going over to greet him. "Hello babies! Did you miss me?"

He scooped up his black cat, who purred and nuzzled against him.

"Daddy needs to do some searching soon, I promise I'll feed you all once I'm done, mkay?" The man cooed, walking to his office without being tripped by his other two cats weaving between his legs. "It'll be such a good addition to my collection, won't it Delilah? A big green kitty cat, right next to my bed."

Bdubs plopped into his office chair, Delilah staying in his lap while he turned on his laptop. He looked into his target: Hideo Katsu. In his home, he had a lot of expensive art... but one in particular caught Bdubs' eye. The jade statue of a powerful feline.

"Bingo." Bdubs took note of where the picture was taken. He went to look more into it... then saw a news article that intrigued him.

"The Batman..?" He raised an eyebrow, glancing down at his other cats around the room. "What do you think, Isis? He looks tall, dark, handsome. Seems like a vigilante... consider me curious."

He chuckled. After all, the police never managed to even notice him until maybe a week ago. He could use a good chase.

He's taking the place of Catwoman, in case that wasn't obvious. 

Hope you enjoyed, have an amazing day, evening, and night <3
