In the Gotham City criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: The Batman, who beats criminals into unconsciousness and stuffs them in a mental asylum, and the police, who investigate crimes.

These are their stories. Bumm-bumm!

The Major Crimes Unit, a hand-picked group of clean detectives selected by Jim Gordon who handle the crimes the other cops call "the Freak Beat", operate out of Gotham Central.

In the last year both Renee Montoya and the final officer selected by Gordon, Marcus Driver, have both lost their partners in the line of duty. For Montoya, Crispus Allen would be the second partner she's lost in the last 12 months - with Harvey Bullock, the grey line between "old school" and dirty - suspended indefinitely after a very public case dragged his past actions into the spotlight.
As whispers around the lockerroom start to pose questions regarding whether she can hack it anymore, her private life (she was recently outed as gay by an unknown stalker figure) and what kind of police she is, Captain Maggie Sawyer has paired up the two in order to stop hemorrhaging morale by allowing them be anyone else's problem.

Everything reminds Marcus Driver of his late partner Charlie Fields, and the night which saw Firebug take his life from a random doorknock. He's since thrown himself back into his work with many questioning whether he's really ready to return. But where's the line between a hungry police, and a man with a death wish?

Roaming characters.

Plots pending. I would like to discuss characters the various Bat-family members would like to introduce before locking myself (and them) into any hard future plots. But as GCPD I think they make good establishing characters for introducing the next big antagonists and introing plots they may like to pursue.
