[b]Norman Merlyn/Dark Goblin[/b] Spiderbolt had allies. That may prove a problem in the future. But not enough of one. After Goblin's plan's first phase is completed, there will be nothing they can do to stop what's coming. Nothing. What was Goblin's motivation, exactly? What made him want to unleash hell on New York City? What made him the insane, bitter man that he is? The answer is as such: his wife, Emily, was murdered there, on the streets of Manhattan, shot and left to die, every passer-by ignoring her pleas for help. Every. Single. One. And nothing will stop Norman Merlyn, the Dark Goblin, from making the ungrateful, cruel citizens of New York City from feeling his wrath. And so, Goblin was on his way to steal the catalyst of phase two from none other than the Owlman himself... Thomas Wayne.
